I've used Dell computers before, as well as other manufacturers. I'm not
sure that price is as great as it could be for what you are getting.
As far as laptops, different manufacturers and even models are layed out
differently in where special keys are placed on the keyboard. So, you might
want to look at it before you plunk down money.
I have been very happy with HP's laptops, but I've also had other brands.
For the most part, Windows 7 is Windows 7 no matter what manufacturer you
have.
I upgraded an older laptop to Windows 8 and it works well with Jaws, but the
laptop doesn't support touch gestures as the newer ones do. But, I am
staying with Windows 7 for my OS of choice right now.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Jaws with dell Inspiron 3000 series
List,
I have been using Sony computers over the last number of years. But Sony
has sold it notebook business and I am looking to replace a Windows vista
system with a Dell 15 inch series 3000 with windows 7 and an I core 3
processor. Price is right at $429 with 4 GB of ram.
I am picking a windows 7 system as my other computer is a windows 7 Sony.
Just concerned about going to windows 8 and possibly touch screen
computers.
I do not use an Apple I phone 5S and that touch screen phone.
Although I had used Dell for many years, I had a problem with their
computer
about 6 years ago and sent it back and went to a Sony I 5 windows 7
machine
which is incredible but it is over 3 years old and who knows about
tomorrow.
Have any of you had experiences with the Dell Inspiron running windows 7
and
Jaws 15?
I suspect that soon, windows 7 may not be available as an option but maybe
windows 8 may be okay using a keyboard.
I will appreciate any insights with Dell and Jaws and also Jaws with
windows
8.
John
