[nfbcs] Your thoughts on using a SurfacePro with JAWS

[Dr. Denise M Robinson]

Surface is very different than other computers with same specs in regards
to weight and the speed for interacting with programs. It is only a couple
pounds to carry around--full size keyboard and all those important keys we
need like the app and insert key--that is the true huge advantage of the
surface pro. My girl students can carry it around with ease all day long
and not get tired. And who am I kidding, I can do the same. Even a 4 pound
laptop can feel like 20 pounds after an hour. The speed of getting work
done efficiently is incredible..
