You may expect as much as you will, however you may find that reality isn't up to your standards. The Braillenote is not and never has been marketed as a lap top. The pocket pcs That are used by sighted persons are not lap tops. One of the things that makes the Braillenote the device it is the fact that a person with limited computer skills can learn to do many tasks with the Braillenote that would seem daunting were this same individual to attempt such work on a PC. Lap tops are not note takers, or for that matter, PDAS.

I have to disagree that the braillenote will never be a pc or a laptop. Todays new motherboards are getting very small. Sure we won't see a CD/DVD rom drive but I can't see any reason why we can't have a hard disk, USB Port, VGA monitor port, and conventional memory. I think for the price we pay for these machines we should expect laptop functionality and no less!
