Absolutely, and even if you already have a screen reader, some require a license for each PC, thankfully Window-Eyes does not, but you still have to pay to keep your screen reader updated in many instances, it's called your SMA. I'm not dissing windows, or windows screen readers, and I am still an ardent Window-Eyes user; god knows I still do a lot of my major writing work in Windows, but there is really a lot to be said for getting a full-up machine, screen reader included with no SMA obligations, all for one price.

For $1000 you get not only a nice performing computer but a screenreader as well.
