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!

Matt, My only thought is that they are rather more expensive than just a
laptop, and I’m not sure that a blind person would get anything out of just a
tablet. 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. Chip From:

Hi, have any of you used these new Transformer PC’s ? 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.
