[nabs] School and Computer Preferences

[Mark J. Cadigan]

I personally like the Sony vaio. There are several light weight yet powerful mottles available. I have had good experiences with this brand in the past, but the only problem I have is that they are a bit expensive. 



I have one of the professional grade laptops. They cost more than the standard laptop, but they have a more rugged design and if you are willing to pay the additional money XP is still available.  I am running vista, but I wish I paid for the XP downgrade.

  I use a netbook and run JAWS very well. here are the specs.

    a.. 8 GB Solid State Drive (you might want to get a bigger hard drive). 
    b.. 1 GB of RAM.
  1.6 GHZ Atom Intel Processor.

  I got my netbook from Best buy for around $400.00.

  Hope this helps and good luck with your purchase,

    Hi,
      For school, I am looking for a new laptop that can provide the following. If anyone has recommendations, I would be very open to suggestions.

    1)  It can handle JAWS v11.
    2)  It is light weight.
    3)  It has a powerful processor.
    4)  It has a lot of memory.


    The first three are my major concerns but 4 is very preferable.
    Many thanks,
    Christine
