Hi,
I wouldn't buy a $500 laptop because of the compromises at that price
point. The two negatives of a laptop are its size and lack of quick access
and smooth working with Braille. I would recommend having both if possible.
I Can't run k1000 on my Braille Note, but I love Braille for reading,
especially on the go and the ease of taking lots of Braille material along
with me. Also, I'd rather edit in Braille whenever possible. That is
because Braille is second nature to me.

Hi Lisa:
First, how's Guam? Sounds like a place I should consider visiting or
moving to at some point in time. What kind of time zone do you have
there? What is the weather like? Is it as humid as the Midwest? Does it
ever snow there?
Now to the point you made about note takers ... without a doubt, a laptop
is less expensive in comparison to a Braille notetaker. You can, if you
elect to purchase a Dell, get a laptop for about $499 or less in most
cases. Another consideration worth looking seriously at is the type of
laptop you want. As for me, I want a Fujitsu laptop. My configuration
will cost me nearly $1900, not $6500 or there about.
On a laptop, you can get a lot of memory--up to about 1GB in most cases.
You can get a hard drive that is about 80GB. You can install third-party
software like MS Word, WordPerfect and others. You can't do this on
either the BrailleNote or BrailleSense.
I hope I helped some. If I can help any further, please do let me
know. I can arrange to help get a Dell Laptop for less. Take care and
God bless!!
