I was thinking about what was said about having the apex sitting in the same case as your laptop. Why would you carry around something you aren't using? Would you consider selling it? I already ordered a voicenote so couldn't make an offer otherwise I'd made an offer since I would give it a good home. You are right though about the laptop having so many more features... although personally, I'm a windows boy and would never buy an apple laptop since it wouldn't be able to directly run ms office 2010 without having to load a bunch of convertion software in order to run windows software. . One of the strengths of the BN apex is the replaceable battery. None of the apple products that I know of has this capability though I will still end up buying one of their products just because it has accessibility built into it. First I'll have to pay off my VoiceNote before that happens.

It's all very well harping on about how great braille notetakers are because they do braille, and I agree emphatically, but what about the very real problem that they are crippled by their software suites? Honestly, HumanWare are going down the same path as Freedom Scientific, only they're doing it with reasonably decent hardware. BTW, the Apex is with me here in my laptop case, but the laptop (MacBook Air 11 inch) is getting all the use. Even Frotz works well enough that I can avoid the Games application on the BN. The only thing the BN is good for now is the dictionary and text editor. It has, as I predicted, no media files to play and no Internet connection, but I've loaded up an SD card with documents and games, so maybe when I'm travelling a bit lighter.
