My work laptop is a Dell, and it works fairly well with JAWS. I did have to get into the Dell Audio settings when I first got it because JAWS was acting strangely. The speech would start out at very low volume and the volume would increase to normal only after a second or two, which was very distracting. The Dell Audio settings screen is also not very JAWS friendly. Once I did this, though, it has been working as well as any other laptop I have used lately.

I have heard that JAWS does not work well with Dell hardware. I've had a couple Dell desktops that didn't work well, but I've never used one of their laptops. Therefore, for any Inspiron owners, any suggestions on how to make JAWS perform better other than changing the function keys in the BIOS? Is swapping the hard drive for an SSD and upgrading the RAM to 16 gigs really necessary? I look forward to hearing from anyone who uses or has used the Inspiron 3000 series laptops with JAWS. I am considering that model because it has a number pad and optical drive whereas the Latitude does not. Kind Regards, Kelsey Nicolay
