I'd like to know that too, since I'm thinking of finding one.

There is a model for the 14 and one for the 40 Focus display. Both are
expected in the United States by the end of the second Quarter.
Another great source is the FSCast by Jonathan Mosen and Ron Miller on the
El Braille that was recently broadcast.
I do not work for VFO so I can't speak to trade in deals. However, they have
stated on several podcasts that you do not need to purchase Jaws or another
focus display if you already have them. You will only need to purchase the
El Braille itself. As for the display, there is an HDMI port which you would
use if you wish to have a video display connected.
I would love to play with one while it is connected to my 60 inch HDTV,

Hope that helps,

Okay, very interesting.  I checked out the site, thank you.

The salesman I spoke with did not tell me that the display comes as part of
the ElBraille, thus, my questions about the cost, which leads to another
question.

If one already has the Focus 14 blue, can you purchase just the docking
station by itself?

Also, if one has the focus 40, can it be traded in for the ElBraille?

I also was not understanding that the ElBraille was for the Focus 14 only,
and I don't think my sales person did either.  I realize the device is that
new.

Thanks for steering me in the right direction for information.

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?

If you already use Jaws on a PC with a braille display then the experience
should be the same.

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.

Re: [JAWS-Users] ElBraille questions.

[Merv Keck]

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.
Merv

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?

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.
