[nfbwatlk] computer failing

[Mike Freeman]

Lauren may be correct. However, I've heard of some people who had problems
with Dell computers and you have to be on the lookout as you don't always
get a full keyboard that allows you to control your screen-reader easily.

Moreover, anything you buy right now would be running windows 8.1 or even
8.2 and this might involve a learning curve you might not be interested in.

Were it me, I'd go for a used computer running windows 7.

Mike

Hi,
I have a Dell laptop which is able to be plugged in but also wireless with
wi-fi at home. I really like it because I can move it around easily. I have
a lot of cords hooked up to it now but I will label them when I move the
laptop around. I can even take it with me. I like it a lot better than a
desktop computer. I got it from www.accessibility.net They are in Nebraska
and I used to work with Jonathan Ross who is their techy guy.
Thanks
Lauren

Hi,

Tomorrow I  am going to look at computers. I am thinking of going to a
laptop, I want to go wireless. Sugestions are welcome.
