[nfbcs] [EXTERNAL] Re: Laptop without bloatware

[Steve Jacobson]

Sarah,

I installed JAWS and NVDA on the computer I purchased right away.  I use
JAWS as my primary screen reader but also like to have NVDA as a backup
sometimes.  Narrator is also installed automatically as part of Windows, and
I use that sometimes as well.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Hi Steve,
What screen reader program are you going to install, NVDA or JAWS?

Tracy,

I just bought a computer from Micro Center which is a computer chain and an
on-line store.  They sell other brands as well, but one of their selling
points to me is that the systems they build don't have a bunch of extra
stuff on it.  Mostly I am happy with my system from them, other than I am
having some trouble with Windows Update that I think must be due to the way
things were initialized.  I don't know that for certain, though.  I paid
about $650 for a 250MB SSD drive, a 1 TB drive and 16 GB Ram and an Intel I5
processor.  The case style is a tower.  It has a terrible keyboard with a
layout that was a bit like a laptop keyboard but I used another keyboard.
I've only had it for two months, but I am generally happy with it.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

I'd like to research laptops without any of the usual bloatware loaded. 
I'm thinking all I want is the OS, and I'll add what I want, thank you very
much.
Can someone suggest the right words for search for such a thing on Amazon or
Froogle?  It's easy to search for something "with" but not so easy for
"without".
Or, if someone has bought such a machine, what brand and where?
Thanks.
Tracy
