Hello Ashley, I do this all the time. I don't have my trusty, good old fun
Braille Note I used to have. So I have to go with my ASUS i7 processor
laptop. I know it takes longer to startup, even though it has a turbo
processor (i7) a Braille note or pacmate or the like would take at least a
couple of seconds, and I would bring my work or what I was doing quickly.

Joshua,
I wonder how you get along without a notetaker. Mine is indispensable for
taking notes in school; if I didn't have a notetaker, I'd bring a laptop to
class even though its big.

I have a lousy Acer Lap Top.
I don't take it to school, because it's too much to carry around.
Blessings, Joshua
