Re: JAWS and phone in the same input
So far it happens on two machines, the lap top and the desktop. I don't know how to shield it. Would a toroid help?

Re: New computer specs
Incorrect. It's actually an I9 processor. I don't know why they're calling it 9th generation, but yeah there's new hardware in there. I haven't looked into it in detail because being real, I can't

Re: New computer specs
Performance is a relative term.
What sort of performance is being sought?
It's important to know where one is looking for improvements over their current system.
Whenever someone has asked me advice

It is in desktop class. Notebooks simply don't have the cooling capabilities to take advantage of the turbo boost when all cores are in use - and single core performance from i7 to i9, while

Re: New computer specs
OK, It is a 9th gen processor. But it will still have a I3, I5 or I7 CPU. It is very important you know which one you are getting as a I3 is a terrible CPU for cheap PC's. and a I7 is more expensive

Re: JAWS and phone in the same input
Could be interference? I'd say try with another machine if you have one, in
case the audio input and power connectors are two close, or some other
shielding issue.

That depends on your use case. If your laptop's going to be your primary machine, an SSD probably isn't the way to go unless you can pair it with a mechanical drive for storage. In my case, for

We have put together a mixer which hears both JAWS and the phone, allowing a person to speak to the phone without hearing JAWS at all. it works beautifully with a lap top computer on battery. when

Re: New computer specs
Hello,
The i9 is, in fact, not a typo, and is far ahead of its time. In a laptop cooling just isn't enough. In desktops not so much - but in the laptop form factor it is a 45 wat chip that has 8 cores

Re: RestoringtJaws access
You need the 26 digit authorization code from FS entered before you can activate jaws.
Although you can go to FS Activate and see if you have any luck.

Re: New computer specs
I9 is a newer chipset than I7. 9th generation, I believe, though I may be slightly off on the naming scheme. Reviews say the performance difference between the two is fairly significant, though.

Re: New computer specs
Eh, that's even less of a problem now if you're running Windows 10. Look up
"Fast Startup". Basically, "shut down" doesn't mean what it used to. Even if
you're running a mechanical drive if you want

More info on the Processor please: I am assuming I9 is a typo as I3, I5 and I7 are what I am used to seeing. Then there are differences between various I5 processors. I7 is for 3D video games and

The reviews at notebookcheck.net appear to be thorough and informed. It's a good site for anyone contemplating a new laptop.

Re: New computer specs
That used to be true in the early 2000's or so, but not so much now. There's
a reason most computer manufacturers don't offer you a warranty longer than
3 or 4 years. After about that long, your stuff

then the employer surely will have a problem with
