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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>It’s rather frustrating, because this is the machine where Outlook is working well.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Kind regards,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Joe<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
