[Electronics-talk] Does anyone use a eindows tablet with Jaws

[Christopher Chaltain]

Wow, I'm super interested. When I was looking for a Windows convertible 
over the holidays, I fell in love with the 11.6 inch Lenovo Yoga. I 
almost bought it, but I decided to wait to see how my new job in a 
Windows shop would go. Turns out the new office isn't too BYOD friendly, 
so I'm still on the fence. I just set up my aging Asus ultrabook to dual 
boot between Windows and Ubuntu, and I'm using that to do what I need to 
in Windows now.

I'd love to hear how you like the Yoga and what your experience is like. 
I consider it off topic for this list though, so if you want you could 
take this over to the Accessible Mobile Devices list. Here's the
