Hi, my first recommendation is to stay away from HP. yes, Del is a top
brand along with Asus and Lenovo but finally when selecting a laptop
it’s up to you.

Hello, all.
I'm getting ready to purchase a new laptop computer, and want to be sure I
get one that is adequate for Jaws. I currently use Jaws 16, and my SMA
covers Jaws 17. So I will likely put Jaws 17 on the new computer.
I realize that any new laptop will have Windows 10 as its operating system,
and am prepared to begin learning to use Jaws with that new operating
system.
My question is this:
What should I be looking for in a laptop? I found the following system
requirements on the Freedom Scientific web site, but wonder whether those
are absolute minimum requirements:
Summary: Software and hardware specifications for JAWS
table with 2 columns and 7 rows
Description
Specification
JAWS Home Use Edition and JAWS Professional
WindowsR 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows ServerR 2012,
and Windows Server 2008
Processor speed
Minimum 1.5 GHz processor
Memory (RAM)
4 GB recommended (64-bit)
2 GB recommended (32-bit)
Required hard disk space
20 MB to 690 MB required per voice for installing Vocalizer Expressive,
Vocalizer Direct, or RealSpeak Solo Direct voices (file sizes will vary
depending on the voice installed)
Video
A display adapter capable of at least 800 x 600 screen resolution with
16-bit color (1024 x 768 screen resolution with 32-bit color recommended)
Sound
Windows compatible sound card (for speech)
table end
Any specific recommendations would be appreciated.
Are there certain brands of laptops I should stay away from? Right now, I'm
thinking of either an HP or a Dell.
