I bought one at Best buy about 5 weeks ago, it had the extended keyboard.
They didn't carry any with windows seven, but they would order one if that's
what you desired. Good Luck.

Subject: [acb-l] Laptop Questions
Hello All:
Well, we found out yesterday that Uncle Sam was kind to us and giving us
some money back. So, considering that our current main computer, a
Toshiba Extended Keyboard Laptop running Windows 7 32-bit is 6.5 years
old, we’ve been talking about investing in a new one.
This is our main computer in the house. We will want it to be a PC, since
we keep financial records on it and are not as comfortable with software
for doing that on the Mac. We’ve also got scanning software that runs on
the PC .
Here are my questions:
1. I think the answer to this is no, but I’ll ask, can you still get an
Extended Keyboard laptop, with the numpad keys on it running Windows 7
64-bit? I was going to check at Best Buy but I thought I’d ask here
first.
FV: Not over the counter at a any store but if you buy direct from the
computer manufacturers you certainly can have that.
2. Assuming the answer to question 1 is no, what are people’s experiences
with Windows 8.1 654-bit? How hard is it to use with Window-Eyes, which
is our primary screen reader?
FV: Shouldn't be a problem.
3. Does Kurzweil 1000 run on 8.1, and if so, what version would we need?
FV: Use version 13 of K1000, shouldn't be a problem.
4. We use Money Talks to manage our checkbook and write checks. Is APH
even supporting it anymore, and does it run on 8.1? If it does not, what
accessible personal finance programs are people using which can also print
out checks?
FV: Can't comment on that one.
I think that’s all for now. Thanks in advance for any help.
