[nfbcs] Recommendations for new Windows Laptop

[Curtis Chong]

Greetings:

I recommend a laptop which is free from vendor-specific software (i.e.,
bloatware) with a memory capacity of 16GB using an I7 processor. For the
hard drive, it is worth paying extra for a 512 GB SSD flash drive. This will
speed up your boot time immensely.

I myself bought an HP ProBook 450 with the above specs, and I have been
quite happy with it.

Of course, you will be getting Windows 10. This means that your speech and
magnification technology absolutely needs to be kept current since Microsoft
introduces a major update to the operating system twice each year.

I hope this helps.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

Subject: [nfbcs] Recommendations for new Windows Laptop

Hello,

I am looking for a great windows laptop for my needs. I use JAWS and
ZoomText in conjunction. I also run my code on programs like Eclipse, Visual
Studio, and other IDEs. I value power and efficiency above all else and am
willing to invest in a quality laptop. Any suggestions? I heard the Dell
xps15 and Surface Ultrabook are good choices, but want to know how they
handle screen readers, programming, and other intensive use.

Thanks,
Ida
