Hi, first, I would recommend getting at least 4GB of RAM. Lion requires at least 2GB of RAM. I would want some wiggle room. I think Zoom can get you by for those situations where VO isn't getting the job done but, I think Zoom has been neglected a lot by Apple accessibility. This might be do to a extremely small zoom community. So I don't know how you would like using zoom 24/7. Maybe some full time zoom users can chime in here? As far as screen size, thats only a question you can answer. Just go to your local Apple store and compare the 2 screen sizes while using zoom.

I would love to hear the experiences of those of you who use the zoom feature with VO. I have been trying the air out at our local Apple store and am trying to decide between the 11 inch and the 13 inch models. Firstly, do you all think that it is important to get 4 Gb RAM or would 2 Gb be fine with VO. Keep in mind that the Air would primarily be used for email and browsing. At times I will be using the Air for skype and will want to be able to record the audio. Next, how well does the Zoom feature work. The reason for asking is that I am trying to evaluate the value of spending an extra $100 or so for the extra screen realestate of the 13 inch. My sight is poor enough that I would probably only use the screen to help get out of those tricky situations where seeing the screen makes it easier. I hope this makes sence to some of you. I would really value any imput. I understand that a lot of wat I have asked is quite qualitative and up to the individual however I would like to hear any opinions. Any answers about my previous question on how to get out of Gmails web interface would also be helpful.
