[BlindTlk] seeking opinions of the 5th generation Focus 40 braille display

[Edward Green]

Hi Madison,

I literally replaced my 4th gen with a 5th gen last week.

My initial impressions are that it's better built - mainly metal rather 
than mainly plastic.

It's slightly heavier and slightly longer.

You may already be aware, but it now has some limited notetaking 
functionality and file creation capability, supporting SD cards and limited 
data transfer via cable.

I haven’t noticed any difference in the braille.

Cheers,

Ed
