Re: New computer specs
Glenn / Lenny
What affects a computer in opening programs is not all that RAM and processor, it is how new it is.

As we install programs, Windows the operating system slows down. Just remember how fast our current computer was when it was new. If folks want a fast machine, keep one with very little installed on it and use another one for all the apps. Mark my words, you can get a fast processor, tons of RAM, and in a year, it too will be slow, unless you don't install a bunch of programs on it. Or you can save your critical data from the one you have, and restore it to factory new and start over with it. Glenn

I usually have several docs and several apps open at the same time so a couple of weeks ago I bought a laptop with an I7 processor and 16 gb ram. It seems to be working well with minimal lags. I was considering Dell Latitude and the Lenovo models but they didn't have all the keys on the keyboard. None of the Lenovo models had an apps key and I can't remember which key Dell didn't have. In the end I settled for The ruggedised HP ProBook 640 G4 with 16GB RAM and upgraded warranty. It has an I7 processor, 16 gb ram, 512 gb SSD storage, 15 hours battery life, NVDIA graphics card, and all the keys (except a numpad which I don't need anyway). It's a little heavier than I was hoping for at 1.8 kg but I'm willing to sacrifice the weight for a long battery life and an independent graphics card. NVDIA and AMD are apparently the only two independent graphics cards that work well with Jaws. I specifically wanted an independent graphics card in order to free up the processor so I can do the things I need to do with minimal lags. I use Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook (Including calendar), and whatever else I need to work with and can access. I also test websites and some accessibility ttools, though I haven't found any that I like yet. I feel like I'm writing for a job application. Lol! But I hope this helps you, Andrew, in your decision for a new laptop. Good luck.

Re: New computer specs
James Homuth
That depends if you're looking long-term or not. 2 years ago, you could get by if you brought your laptop to college on having 4 GB of RAM, even with a SSD. Now, the minimum specs for a college program up here say you need at least 8 GB. That's the minimum, so if you can spring for more, you probably should. And if you're in a more specialised program, like for example computer programming, should becomes must quick, fast and in a hurry.

I'm still struggling to understand your point. They do use it on a daily basis for youtube, Microsoft word/excel, and some music listening. Yet they don't store anything of value on the internal hard drive - their music is streamed via spotify (which, by the way, is accessible with jaws). My point being that use cases are different. I was in no way implying that he shouldn't get a larger drive, but what you or I may do may be far different than what someone else does, and therefore their storage needs might be different. Remember that daily web browsing and light office work doesn't add up to much space used in the grand scheme of things and even in the last 10 years that has hardly changed a bit. A bigger drive doesn't translate to faster speeds, either. Though with the prices of solid state drives decreasing I don't see a problem with 512 gb if you can afford it - years ago that could have made the price skyrocket, not so much anymore.

I know this is a low-tech solution, but it is easy and cheap. Use a pair of earbuds for JAWS, and put the phone headset on over that. Works like a charm. If you find JAWS is too prominent, just take out one of the earbuds. Tim Ford

Re: New computer specs

I remember those days, though it has been quite some time.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Intel hd graphics is more than sufficient these days. I remember when having a dedicated GPU helped screen reader performance in web browsing - but this isn't the case any more - and if you have no use cases for a dedicated card, put that money towards warranty, more ram, or drive storage. Everyone goes on about how horrible Intel Atom processors are, but my t100, 5 years later, still gets 20 hours of batterylife, still does the basic tasks, and cost me less than $500 when I bought it. I will preach this. Solid state drives are 99% of your performance gains these days. Processors don't mean anything if you have a spinning drive to go along with them if you are being bottlenecked by your mechanical hard drive. That is not to say they are no longer valid. I back up to them regularly. But expect them to fail - solid state technology has come so far that this is far less likely with them, though it can still doubtlessly happen, just like anything else, and backing up is something far too many take for granted. I'm very happy I got Lenovo 3 year on site and tech replacement warranty as well as accident protection. I got this machine at a fantastic price, though, otherwise I was looking at the Dell Latitude series. The really nice thing about this machine is despite how thin it is, the back comes off with just a few screws, and the ram, storage, wireless card, battery, and fans are readily available, which makes it nice and easy if I need anything replaced.

Hi,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
The GPU does not free up the processor whatsoever and, in fact, is a completely different animal than a processor. The GPU in your machine may not, in fact, be used if you are getting 15 hours of batterylife. There is something called Optymous technology from Nvidia that when used, allows the independent graphics card to power off while the dedicated Intel HD graphics does its thing, and that sounds exactly what is going on in your use case. Few people seem to realize that shift f10 performs the exact same action as applications key - and barring that, you can use sharp keys to remap a key to the right of the space bar to that if you so choose. Regarding the comment about an SSD not lasting long - I have a Toshiba laptop here from 2012 that still has 85% of its life remaining. In that time I have had 5 mechanical drives fail, without warning, and only 2 of which made any actual noise to tell me so. These days if a laptop or computer in general does not shut down, you will get a message popping up on screen from your screen reader if you have it set to run at log on, telling you the following programs are still running in the background and giving you the option to shut down anyway or cancel. The benefits of a solid state drive to batterylife and speed are so beyond amazing compared with a spinning mechanical drive. Expect the machine to boot in less than 30 seconds regardless what programs run at startup - add another 15 or 20, maybe, to get said programs running. You can start using the machine as soon as the screen reader is running, no more waiting to get to the desktop to check a simple email or modify one line in a word document. Resuming from sleep happens in less than 1.5 seconds these days. Far more pluses than drawbacks, in my view. Just my $.02!

I usually have several docs and several apps open at the same time so a couple of weeks ago I bought a laptop with an I7 processor and 16 gb ram. It seems to be working well with minimal lags. I was considering Dell Latitude and the Lenovo models but they didn't have all the keys on the keyboard. None of the Lenovo models had an apps key and I can't remember which key Dell didn't have. In the end I settled for The ruggedised HP ProBook 640 G4 with 16GB RAM and upgraded warranty. It has an I7 processor, 16 gb ram, 512 gb SSD storage, 15 hours battery life, NVDIA graphics card, and all the keys (except a numpad which I don't need anyway). It's a little heavier than I was hoping for at 1.8 kg but I'm willing to sacrifice the weight for a long battery life and an independent graphics card. NVDIA and AMD are apparently the only two independent graphics cards that work well with Jaws. I specifically wanted an independent graphics card in order to free up the processor so I can do the things I need to do with minimal lags. I use Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook (Including calendar), and whatever else I need to work with and can access. I also test websites and some accessibility ttools, though I haven't found any that I like yet. I feel like I'm writing for a job application. Lol! But I hope this helps you, Andrew, in your decision for a new laptop. Good luck.

Looking to purchase a new dell laptop computer. Here are the specs: I9 processor 16 GB ram 256 GB SSD NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 I would like this computer to last me about six years. Are all of these specs acceptable for running JFW? Is there anything else that I should make certain a new laptop has for JFW use? Appreciate any advise. Thank you- Andrew

After bringing it home today I attempted to open Jaws which ended up being limited to a 40 minute trial mode. As I do not have my authorization number written down, I probably will not have access to Jaws until I make contact with freedom scientific this Monday. In the meantime is there a way that I can access Jaws and itp’s Full capacity. I would appreciate any and all assistance. Best, Justin .
