While function keys are under discussion, I'll mention that the new laptop which I'm using at work has the function keys configured by default to operate in the normal manner. If you want laptop-specific commands to be issued, you need to hold down the FN key.
This laptop also has a numeric key pad, so you can run JAWS with desktop layout. In addition, it has a touch screen. It's the best laptop for screen reader users that I've encountered so far, as long as you don't mind the size and the weight, although it isn't as heavy as I was expecting. It's a Lenovo P50S (a very recent release). The storage is a 500GB SSD, which is great for performance. sadam ahmed <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Adam, > > A sighted person who has this device has confirmed that you'll indeed have > to go into bios settings to change this. > > Once done, the function keys should be normal. > > Good luck! > > Sadam Ahmed > On 23/05/2016 4:44 PM, Adam Morris wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > > > I'm looking to order one of these. > > > > Someone told me that most of the function keys have their own uses like > > volume up, down. > > > > Will there need to be any changes made to bios for someone to use the > > unit with Jaws? > > > > > > > > > > > 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/
