In nhave a lenovo netbook to take on tripsand stuff. I like them a lot. The keyboard takes some getting used to since it is smaller than a regular notebook's. but I have stuck some dots on significant keys so I can navigate better. You can run any jaws on it, I am currently running jaws 9 on mine and it works perfect. You could also hook up a portable braille display. I do that to mine a lot and this also works no problem. Netbooks usually come with either a linux version or windows xp. I prefer xp becchaue I never used linux and am really not crazy about this os. But that is all a matter of personal choice, like much everything else.
If you get a netbook that has a decent processor and 1 gig of ram which is what most come with then there should be no issues. It will be as powerful as a notebook with the same specs.

I can install either Jaws 9 or 10 latest. The unit would be used primarily for business including a fair amount of wireless connectivity. Software would be pretty much limited to MS-word, Outlook, PowerPoint and Excel. First of all how feasible is a net-book for a blind user? Does it play well with jaws? What software compatibility issues can I expect? What are the features and benefits?
