Jaws and Netbooks
|
William Sallander <wsallander@...>
I'm thinking of purchasing a netbook or a laptop computer.
I know that Jaws works very well with most laptops but was wondering if anyone out there has had any experience using a netbook with jaws. I'm more concerned with the chip sets that some netbooks use as well as graphics cards and if Jaws will get along with them. I'm also wondering if there are any ram considerations I should watch for with any netbooks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have installed JAWS on several netbooks and i works OK. But many netbooks does nok have the posibility to add more RAM. A netbook with Win7, JAWS and 1GB RAM is very slow. If you can find a netbook with 2 or 3 GB RAM I think it will work OK. As a JAWS user a laptop will do a better job since JAWS is a heavy proces it self. Netbooks have smaller CPU's and RAM capacity.

I have a netbook Acer that is running XP and JAWS 12. it works really well with the Acer. The newer netbooks are windows 7 though and have more ram than the XP models. I think most of them have at least 1 gb of ram, where the XP models have only the 512 mb. The only difference between a netbook and laptop is the size. They are very light weight and portable. You can also get them with longer batteries if you pay a little more. I personally love the netbooks and their portability.

I too use a wireless keyboard with my netbook. The keys are smaller and close together and harder to type with for me. I will use the normal keyboard in a pinch if I have too.

i have been using a netbook with Jaws for over two years now.

I have a Toshiba and really have had no major issues, to my knowledge. I have noticed that it does seem a little slower than my Dell laptop, but I'm not sure how to prove my theory. Claudia

no problems. The load time for starting JAWS is indeed slower than that on my new Dell laptop I got this year (and the battery life is much longer on the laptop). Jim

My netbook is slower than my desktop. It is a WIN-XP machine. My wife has a WIN7 netbok andit is slower than her desktop or her laptop. But I've had mine for three years now - it goes on vacation and works just fine. Can run e-mail, internet and a word processor all at the same time. And on vacation you are supposed to be layed back and patient!
