[nabs-l] Computers

[Ashley Bramlett]

Gloria,
Any computer can freeze for many reasons. Your Acer probably froze because 
you did not have enough memory and jaws running coupled with other 
applications overwelmed it. Are you getting a laptop? I think any
computer can be bulky. I'd guess a small laptop with  a small screen would 
not be bulky.
The best thing to do is to go to a store and handle them and see your 
options. Ask the salespeople how much they weigh if weight is a concern.

Dell and HP both have their strong points. You definitely want one with a 
lot of memory and
fast processing speed. I 7 is the fastest but for many people a 5 or 6 is 
good enough.
I'd also buy a service contract for it if you can.

Ashley

Hi,
With Dell does anyone know if the newer versions lighter? I had a dell
before and I felt it was bulky. I know this shouldn't matter to much as long
as the computer does what I need it to do. I currently have a netbook by
acer and as I said before if I have JAWs running, my email open and serfing
the web, my computer freezes and i am tired of that. I also talked to
someone about getting a Tashiba, and I am just confused and don't know what
to get. I thank you all who have given your opinions about computers and
their capabilities.
