Well, I was thinking the tablet was like the windows8 pro tablets or now windows 8.1 pro tablets which is totally accessible with Jaws or will be when Jaws 15 comes out as it will have touch in it. As the Android tablets go if they are running Jelly bean or above they Aare very accessible. Of course the Android platform is not as accessible as the IOS platform! But it is very close to it the Android platform . Now windows of course is accessible with JFW and if you are running W8 Pro or above on a device you can put JFW on it and it is accessible. But I have a lot more research to do and not buying anything as of now. Thanks you all for the input!

I think you’re paying for technology which, at best you can’t use, and at worst will constantly make your mouse jump around as you accidentally touch it, and then you’re typing somewhere you don’t mean to be. (I think most blind laptop users, for instance, disable the touchpads on their laptops) I think for the same price as a 5 pound tablet, you could have a ultra laptop in the 2 pound range. Of course, maybe this changes if you’re partially sighted; maybe you can actually enjoy the tablet, I don’t know. Can’t say though that I have even a sighted friend buying these tablets, so something about them isn’t making them fly off the shelves.

That is a laptop and tablet in one. You can unattached the keyboard from the display and the display is now a tablet! So now you have a say windows 8 pro or 8.1 pro tablet and then when you hook the display back to the keyboard you now have a Windows 8 laptop running windows 8 pro or windows 8.1 pro. Any thoughts on this ? I thought this is a good idea then you have both worlds.
