The model I saw in the store had a 128 GB drive which is far more than large enough for any and all basic needs other than storing massive amounts of music files. Like I said it is for the business traveler or maybe a student that has to hall it around campus.

Hello Eric. Yes your message does help. Can you give me any insight into laptops with things such as, 32 gb ssd drive, plus a 500 gb hard drive. i understand the space requirements, what i'm curious about is the 32 gb for example is that to load Windows, and other applications, and the bigger one is mainly for files? Sorry if this confuses you, haven't had coffee yet :) hope your turkey day was a good one.

In addition to thinner and the reduced weight from a regular laptop, there are other advantages. It has a solid state drive rather than the traditional hard drives. SSD is quite a bit faster and it is very obvious on start up time, especially starting up after the lid is opened. And battery life is better than any laptop I ever owned. The marketing material tell you about 8 hours. It is not that much but I can get 4 or 5 hours of use no problem. Usually I just charge at night. > > I chose this particular model because of the keyboard. The arrow keys, Home, End, Page up/down all work without the need for the FN modifier key. It is very comfortable and unlike the netbooks, the spacing of keys is the same as a normal keyboard. Netbooks were about 15% smaller which made it difficult for me to switch back and forth with my other computer. > > Hope this helps, > Eric > > -----Original Message----- > From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf Of Chris Hill > Sent: Thursday, November 22, 2012 8:57 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Will jfw work on an ultra book? > > All an ultrabook is is a thin and light notebook with a bigger sticker price.
