[gui-talk] Daydreaming about PC laptops. Any comments?

[Joel Deutsch]

Andy,

I understand. Regardless, I don't think a netbook is going to be too high on 
my list of preferences in a portable machine, but I'll be grateful for 
whatever I've learned about them from replies like yours. Thank you.
Joel

The only thing that a netbook lacks is a CD /DVD drive, and a USB
external drive can be bought for $50.  Otherwise, it is a real computer
with a full copy of Windows XP Home. Once Windows 7 is released, I am
sure that netbooks will come with that OS because it is optimized for
less powerful computers.

Sherri,

That isn't a complete small computer. it's another type of product
entirely.
I want a real computer with a hard drive on which I keep my own
applications
and files. Not a cloud computer. apples and oranges. Thanks, though.

Seems to me the way to go is the Netbook, though I do not own one. I am
using a Del Latitude laptop (not sure of model number) and though the
keyboard is flat, the keys are pretty large and I am getting used to
using
the computer. I have this computer, because the Florida Division of
Blind
Services graciously bought it for me and at that time, I did not know
much
about Netbooks. I like the Latitude, because it is light, but very
sturdy.
My daughter who is sighted and now a brand new Mac user says the layout
of
the computer and the way the display looks is very "industrial",
whatever
that means. HTH.
Sherri
