[Blindmath] More Computer Questions

[Louis Maher]

Hello,

I have recently purchased the Microsoft Surface Pro 2 with a 256 GB SSD for
$1300.  This machine is small, light, fast, and powerful.  You can carry it
in one hand.  If you pair it with a Braille display, you will have a
powerful combination.  It runs 
Windows 8.1 and Outlook 2013.  While Outlook has minor accessibility issues,
generally you will not have any issues.  I use JAWS 15 and a Humanware
Brailliant Display Bluetooth connected to the computer.

Hi.
Note: Moderator Sir, I am responding to this thread because you have not yet
declared if it is of topic.
Firstly, I never knew that JAWS worked with Iphones. Thought that the IOS
screen reader was Voiceover.
Anyways, I would like to answer your third question.
Yes, certainly Notebook computers are available these days. I personally own
one which weighs 1.25 kg and a screen slightly more than 10 inches. It is
extremely portable but not the most powerful computer either. My laptop
model HP Mini 110.
Hope that helps.
