Hello Michael,
I have an Acer, could you please identify some of the issues you had with
yours to assist me in identifying the cause of some issues I have with mine?
Thank you,
Kevin Hourigan.

Hello,

I would agree with Joseph, but I also would through Lenovo in as a great
laptop. But, stay away from Acer, which also makes Gateway. I have had
experience with both of these in my previous job, and we always had trouble
with both brands. Good luck in your search.

Mike

Hello,
First, it'll depend on tasks you'll be doing with your laptop. But the
most
important thing is not just brands, but the components does matter.
I'd recommend the following configurations:
* Brand: Asus, HP, Toshiba, Samsung.
* Processor: Intel Core I3 or I5 or AMD equivalent.
* RAM: At least 8 GB.
* Hard disk size: At least 750 GB or 128 GB SSD.
Cheers,
Joseph

Hello everyone,
I have been using JAWS with windows XP for 5 years and have had very few
issues. But since support for windows xp is ending soon and I am going
back
to school, I am looking to buy a Windows 7 laptop. But all of the
resources
I have read on freedomscientific.com and other sites are kind of vague
about
the system requirements needed for JAWS, especially with regard to
processor
speed. I am not a tech expert, so all of the jargon overwhelms me. Five
years ago, I worked with DVR who purchased my laptop through a vendor, but
this time since I have some money from a temp job, I thought it would be
fun
to pick out my own laptop. Little did I know how overwhelming this would
be.
So I am wondering if anyone who uses a windows 7 laptop and is happy with
it
could give me specific recommendations on exactly which brands (Dell,
Lenovo
HP etc) you have found to be the most blind-friendly in your opinion, and
exactly what specifications you have found to work best.
Thank you so much in advance for any input you can offer.
Allison Nastoff
