[Trainer-Talk] Recommending hardware

[Reginald George]

My list is very similar to mats. I love the Lenovo yoga’s for Jaws users Who can get comfortable with not having a full keyboard and who prize portability because of their long battery life, speed and durability.5 And the ThinkPad’s are very similar.

For laptops, I've had really good success with: 
Inspiron 17" 7000 2-in-1  
-16GB RAM 
- 512 SSD 
- i7
And for 15" laptops I often use the 5000 line with similar specs. 
For smaller laptops. I've used the xps 13 and the Lenovo yoga 920. 
I never recommend anything without SSD. 
HTH.

Hi all,
I often get asked by clients what kind of computer they should get when they
are done with training. I typically give some good rules to go by but avoid
making specific recommendations.

I have a counselor asking for a specific recommendation for a laptop and I
wanted to ask how others handle this. Do you have specific go-tos that you
recommend for particular situations?

Thanks for your thoughts.
