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

[Ashley Bramlett]

Lori,
How much weight is the linovo yoga? Is it small like the size of a kindle?
If I understand you correctly, you can use it as a tablet by touching the 
screen or use the keyboard.
Does it have any ports to connect storage devices like a USB port?

Thanks.
Ashley

For anyone that is interested:
I returned my Dell Venue 8 Pro and bought a Linovo Yoga Laptop/tablet.
I found that with the Dell, it did not have any edge or frame to hold
the tablet on its face. You had to make sure, while holding it in your
hands, that you held only the sides, otherwise you could touch
something and then you might not know where you were, expecially if
you screen reader decided to stop talking, which my Jaws did. Even
with narrator it was difficult to use with a Logitec blue tooth
windows keyboard. When my batteries ran out on my keyboard, there was
no way to easily pair the keyboard again without sighted assistance. I
found it not to be as accessible for me, as I had hoped it would be.
The laptop keyboard is attached, and can easily fold and to just use
it as a tablet, but it is easiest with the keyboard and a screen
reader. I saw the Microsoft surface pro, but this little unit, the
Linovo Yoga, is small and light and just felt more secure  for me. The
other great thing...is it fits in my old PacMate case, that has a nice
roomy zipper pocket to put my power cord in, and a shoulder strap, and
Velcro flap to securely close it.
Not sure if I spelled everything correctly, so please forgive my mistakes.
