Those ultra books are nice little deals being solid state with no moving parts certainly makes them light and probably easy on batteries.
Not completely out of my price range but they aren't cheep by any means.

The Samsung I bought had a decent keyboard, and the tablet can detach from the keyboard completely. I would not recommend it for a couple of reasons. First, the balance of it when using it as a laptop is not good. Since all the electronics are behind the screen, and the screen is a touch device, it is very heavy compared to the keyboard itself. Secondly, in order to use it as a tablet, you really need to disconnect it from the keyboard and I then find myself trying to go get my keyboard later since typing on these tablet devices is not very comfortable for me, as a sighted user. So I like the tablet to consume information, but if I have to produce, I find myself wanting the keyboard back. The other computer I bought last year was my Toshiba Ultra book. It is less weight than the tablet, has a great keyboard, and is balanced perfectly for using it on a desk or my lap. Hands down, I like my ultra book with Win 7 or win 8 over the tablets I've been able to try so far.

Reese ----- Original Message ----- Hi Kathy and Reese, I have a Samsung Tablet PC which includes a keyboard and use JAWS 14 on it. You can also use JAWS 14 on a Microsoft Surface Pro tablet with the keyboard. And with JAWS 15, there will be other exciting new options for use with these tablets. Stay tuned.
