That is a really good question and I really wish I knew. I just sent a message asking someone who is associated with the development of the El Braille. I thought he was on this list. I will ask him to join if he is not.

Thank you very much for your help and information. I will check out the site. Another consideration is if this device will update along with the Microsoft updates, and the gentleman I spoke with did not have that information either. >From what I understand, the Polaris' onboard apps will upgrade with firmware upgrades, but that if you choose to download that same app from the play store, it will update when Google does its updates.

Hi, Have you checked out this site? http://elbraille.com I think with any device, it depends on what you are going to use it with that ultimately justifies which one would be best. I just had a similar conversation with someone when ask to consult on the decision to purchase a Focus display and an iPad or wait until one of the L Braille devices comes out. After discussing what they did on a daily basis both for work and play, and what devices they already owned, I advised them to wait for the L Braille 14. I have a 128 GB iPad Mini 4 which I pay $32 a month for on my phone plan. Eventually I will trade that in for a newer tablet. I already own a focus display. And I like it very much. This is not my primary laptop. That is a Windows 10 Home 64 bit machine with two internal drives and 16 GB of ram. It is my primary home computer. I would not want an L Braille to be my primary home computer. But maybe that is just me. There is a gentlemen on some of the technical lists who is involved with the L Braille. I will see if I can point him this way. I know he is on one of these Jaws lists.

Hi again. I actually did some checking today with VFO, and the El Braille is actually a docking station for the focus 40 or 14. A docking station with memory storage. The price, $1795. Here is my question. If you get a laptop, say, for $800, add in $995, I believe it is for Jaws, that would come to roughly the same price, but you would have probably a terabite of memory on the PC, only 160 GB on the ElBraille. What would be the incentive for bying this docking station with memory, other than size advantage? I asked the salesman to help me understand that rationale so I could hellp sell the idea to our agency. He could not come up with anything. Am I missing something here?

Judy The ElBraille is essentially a Windows 10 PC in a notetaker sized package. You can use Internet Explorer or Firefox. If you already use Jaws on a PC with a braille display then the experience should be the same. I havent used the Polaris so I cant comment on any differences.
