[NFBCS] Anyone Else Using Lenovo ThinkPads?

[Joe Orozco]

Hi,

 

My Thinkpad T470 finally started showing signs of aging last summer. I
bought a Thinkpad Carbon last summer, and even though it has much better
specs than my older machine, it somehow feels slower than my faithful old
laptop. 32 GB RAM, I7 processor, plenty of SSD space, but somehow it feels
as though JAWS is more sluggish.

 

Specifically, JAWS seems to lose speech around the Office suite. It'll just
stop talking around certain items in the Ribbon. Sometimes it won't fully
rotate around open applications while using Alt Tab. If I'm in a Word file,
sometimes it'll read paragraphs while using CTRL + Up and Down Arrow,
sometimes it won't.

 

It's rather frustrating, because this is the machine where Outlook is
working well.

 

If anyone has thoughts on what settings I might adjust, I'd be grateful. The
machine is still too new for it to be dragging on me.

 

Kind regards,

 

Joe
