Hi Steve, If you're doing it because of the cost, then you may want to know that system access is offering a "netbook" version of their screen reader for $150. I don't know what's cut out to restrict it to netbooks.
Well, my impression of these devices is that their processing capability is very limited and slow; if you're using it for synthetic speech, and running a screen reader, and trying to do something like run internet explorer or ms word, I'd guess you'd better have some real patience. I'm not an owner of one, but they have to get the cost down somehow, and I thought processor speed was one of the ways. My preference, if money is not the only issue, would be to find the screen size and resolution that's the cheapest for a given line of high performing laptops. That's usually been the 14 inch ones lately, but it could be the 12 inch ones by now. Then you shouldn't have any worries in adding a full-fledged screen reader like window eyes, with synthetic speech.
