[nabs] Microsoft Office Academic Discount

Sun Jan 22 19:41:52 EST 2012

Yes, the Professional edition has Outlook and Access.  The only thing I do
not use is Access since there are or seem to be accessibility issues with
it.

For the same price, you can get the Professional edition from the link I
provided.  I still have the 2003 Office Professional, and I am waiting on
the order for Office 2010 to ship to me.

Thank you Patricia!!
I was aware that there was a downloadable copy out for less and my school
usually post it on the blog or campus board but as of yet they haven't done
so. So, this is appreciated. *all smiles* Netta "Damaged children become

oh, but I thought office 2010 was already in the laptop, except for the
outlook email client. I mean it should have word, powerpoint, excell, and
maybe access.

Internet Explorer and media player come built in, you will have to purchase
Office extra to get Outlook.  Office 2010 is not cheep either.

Chase,

Good to know. I want the Ms office suite including outlook, internet
explorer and windows media player on it; so I don't have to buy office 2010
in addition to the computer. That is great wi-fi is so common now.

I think there are little number keypads one can buy so that might be an
option for me. Also, I think you can hook a traditional keyboard to it so
then it feels more like a desktop and the jaws commands are the same then.
When I travel, not an option, but at school in some faculty office it would
work.

Hi Ashley,

I've used a lot of laptops, and they all have insert keys.  Very few have
the full numeric keypad to the right of the keyboard, but almost all laptops
do have an insert key.  Usually, it is located in what is commonly called
the 6 pack.  Above the backspace key, you find 6 keys, 3 on top and 3 bellow
them.  The top row, going from right to left is insert, home, and page up.
Right below those three, you find delete, end, and page down.  SO, even if
you don't get a number pad, you will still get an insert key.

I'm not going to go into too much details on the laptops that I use, simply
because they all use Windows XP and are probably all unavailable now.
However, most laptops boot up time is around the same as it would be on a
desktop, though it all depends on how much is installed, how much is in your
registry, etc.

Laptops come with differing amounts of memory, from 1 to 4 GB usually.  I
would recommend 2 GB of memory or more so that you can easily use Windows,
your screen reader, etc.

Almost all laptops have a CD drive, but netbooks almost always do not.  All
laptops that I've ever seen have an Ethernet port and wi-fi, most have
Bluetooth as well.  Most laptops, excluding those made by Apple, come with
Microsoft Windows, so they all come with Internet Explorer.  They will have
the same software that you would find on any desktop you've used in the
pass.  Generally, the software that comes with laptops and desktops is the
same.

HTH,

Hi all,

Well, many of you seem to have found laptops that meet your needs. I
probably will get one. A reason why I avoided it was I did not think the
keyboard had a number pad. I like the number pad and am very used to the
insert key. I'm not one for change; so if I bought a laptop, I'd really
prefer it to have a number pad.

So which laptop did you pick and why? How fast do they boot up? How much
memory? The things I'd prefer in a laptop are theCD rom drive, a number pad,
and wireless internet. Are all laptops built with internet connection now? I
assume all have a web browser, probably internet explorer.

Also how long will the thing run on battery power?  Just wanted some
opinions since if I spend money for a laptop, it should meet my personal,
academic and professional needs. I am thinking a laptop might be a good
thing to demonstrate to a potential employer or to take for my volunteer
work.

However, I do want to minimize carrying it around. I'll probably put it in a
locker and get it out after class when I need it.

Do you roll it in a bag or do you have a carry bag? I already have a
backpack, but do not know if it will fit.

Ashley
