I was hesitant in moving to Windows 8.1 but after having done so I find
Windows 8.1 very easy to use. Works well with WE 9.1.
I did purchase a HP Envy 15.6 laptop and it has a number pad and is the
same size keyboard as my previous 17.3 inch HP laptop.
This HP Envy came with Beats audio which I would recommend not getting.
It is not speech friendly and has caused some issues with some of the
Syns for WE.

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.
