[Trainer-Talk] Your thoughts on using a SurfacePro with JAWS

[Scott Davert]

I think the Surface will eventually replace the need for a full on laptop unless you plan to do heavier audio or video editing. The latest edition seems very responsive with JAWS and a braille display. That will likely be my achine once my laptop dies if things continue the way they are.

It works just as well as my actual laptop--there are a few minor differences but none that bother me.  I Use my own external keyboard, not the one which is meant for the Surface, which I find clumsy.

I don’t know if it would have the memory of a full-fledged laptop, but how would that go as a tablet or travel computer?
