Sorry, spinning hard drives are totally out of the question for me any more. Far to slow to get anything useful done but that’s just me. The other problem is windows laptops run well windows.:) That’s the quickest way to turn that I7 in to a P4.:) Also remember you have to add JFW on top which is another grand to the cost. I realize there are free screen reader options though that can reduce this cost I’m just a JFW former user so I’m used to adding that extra expense in to the cost of any system.
