Hi Lenny, Jaws will use the same keyboard commands on a laptop with a full-size keyboard, as it does for a desktop computer. There will be additional keys on the laptop not found on a standard 104 keyboard, which is why I use a standard USB keyboard with my laptop. Another consideration for me is that my hands are so large that trying to navigate the laptop keyboard proved difficult since the keys are smaller and closer together, and the addition of the F/N key. Also, most laptops do not have a right Windows key, and some no applications key.
HTH, Rick Justice Tomorrow's another day, another way! and if tomorrow never comes, problem solved! A Bluetooth keyboard can be used with either a tablet or laptop if the device has that capability which most new devices today do. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lenny McHugh" <lmch...@verizon.net> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Monday, September 29, 2014 10:42 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] lap top? It looks like I most likely will then just get a laptop. I hope that it will use the same keyboard configuration as my desktop. -----Original Message----- From: Trish Sent: Monday, September 29, 2014 10:30 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] lap top? I think only if it can be paired through the settings of the tablets device. It's how it is with the items that cannot be mentioned on this list, wireless devices have to be paired with said devices in order to work and blue tooth ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lenny McHugh" <lmch...@verizon.net> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Monday, September 29, 2014 9:23 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] lap top?

I use a laptop and wireless fullsize keyboard, Jaws works great. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lenny McHugh" <lmch...@verizon.net> To: "JFW List" <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Monday, September 29, 2014 9:10 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] lap top? Well, I just dug out my very old type and speak, purchased 1985. I have not used it in about 9 years. It turns on but totally messed up. I need something for some meetings. I just learned that wal-mart has a lap top with a full size keyboard for $300. With the full size keyboard will jaws work as does my desktop? I really do not want to learn a new keyboard. It will be used one or two times a month. Or would the tablet with a full size Bluetooth keyboard be better. I have office 2010 with one install remaining. The laptop has win 8, 4gb, 500 gbhd. I like it because it has nothing installed. --- Please visit my web page It's motivational, inspirational with a touch of humor There is also a very extensive resource list for the blind http://www.LennyMcHugh.com International Brotherhood of Magicians member #43990R For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
