[CentralOK] Lap Top

[Audrey Farnum]

I agree with Steve. I tried a Mac as my primary computer for a while. It was fine for email, streaming, music and basic web surfing but for serious productivity, it was frustrating and inefficient. I ended up buying a PC a year later for word processing and serious work. After that i was  just using the Mac for goof off stuff. I know there  are blind people perfectly happy with a Mac as a primary option but it wasn't for me. All the stuff I enjoyed about the Mac is all stuff I can do with an IPad so now I am PC and Jaws or NVDA when I need to get stuff done and I do all the fun stuff on my iPad mini which I am very happy with. Good luck with whatever you decide.
