I have heard that the only one that has been found to work with screen readers is sold by Beyond Sight.

I've bought 2 and neither would work with JAWS in the Numlock off mode.

I've been using laptops for almost 20 years, before laptops had hard drives. I use the JAWS desktop keyboard layout on the laptop. I access the num pad with the laptop's function key. This is not always the best option, but I'm very used to it. However, I do use a variety of external keyboards. My favorite for travel is the Flexi-keyboard. It is light-weight and takes up very little room in my backpack. It does take some getting used to, but the newer models provide you with much more tactile feedback. Given that I often work with a variety of different types of assistive technology, I have found HP's to not be up to the job. I used Toshiba's for years, but now find that Dell's can handle pretty much anything that I throw at it.

P. zd 8000 which sits on my desk at the office and functions much like a desk top, as it has the numeric keypad built right in. This machine is large with a 17 inch screen and weighs eight pounds or so. The batter life is relatively short also. Do any of you know of a lap-top which also has the numeric key pad built in, but which is lighter and with longer than an hour battery life? Annette, I would suggest looking at the H. P. zd series of computers, if your use will be primarily at the office. The built in key pad is great when using JAWs.
