[VABS] Nova

[Naim Abu-ElHawa]

Hello, All:

Marc, I just checked the version of JAWS On my Surface Book Pro, and it is JAWS Version 18.0. On my Surface Book Pro, I am running  WINDOWS X (10.). As per my experience, everything is working fine, aside from very few minor glitches. No, I mean, every piece of technology has minor glitches.

Overall, I highly encourage everybody to look at the Surface Book Pro.


Thank you.

Sincerely,






Naim Muawia Abu-El Hawa

From my expense NOVA fails to do any form of accommodating if there isn’t a huge pay off on their part. Please note, this is just my experience. NOVA is a wonderful school and highly encourage those to attend if they wish save money and unsure of their career goals. Also, another alarming fact that I have come across when visiting the campus library was that the only JAWS computer they had at the time was held in a small room cut off from the rest of the other computers. It was indeed a disappointment and shock to see that a student who needs JAWS has to be treated as an outcast or singled out. Again, this was about 2 years ago from the last time I was at NOVA. I will check again this coming Fall when I start classes.

Although it is a tablet, when it is in Laptop mode the Surface can compete as a high functioning computer. Before you buy the Surface Pro please know the operating system may be Windows 10. This is important because the latest version of JAWS does not work so smoothly. I believe my surface pro is running JAWS 16 or 17 which works much easier with some minor complaints. If ya’ll haven’t figured things out yet  I’m kinda of a nerd when it comes to computers. Computers and people are my hobbies.
