You have to watch what you run withy Windows S because you can only run apps
from the Windows Store and not programs that you would run n Windows Home or
Pro. I have not heard real good reports on Windows S with the restrictions.

Hi Darrell,
Thanks for your quick reply. I don’t use Chrome but I do use Firefox, do you
know how well narrator works with Firefox? I’m not real thrilled with using
edge or internet explorer as I’m not sure how safe they are.
And then there is the question of whether in windows s mode fire fox would
even work. If I got the HSN HP laptop I would want to keep it in as
mowed.brenda

Narrator has gotten much better. Problem with it though is if you are
going to use chrome, it won't work. You can also take your windows 10 s
device out of s mode, but you can't return it to s mode once it's out. As
far as JAWS and the 90 dollar price tag, it beats paying $120.00 but it
doesn't beat the cost of NVDA wich is um, well no cost.
I use both JAWS and NVDA for my job, so I use both of them.
Narrator also works well with he office suite so if you are not going to
use anything outside of edge and internet explorer, you are good there
too.
Hope this helps,
Darrell

Subject: Trying to decide
Good afternoon lists,
There are some really good deals on HSN and QVC for windows 10 laptops as
well as iPads and Fire tablets. I'm trying to decide what to do...
From what I'm finding, Narrator is getting better - does anyone have any
comments/input?
There is an HP Stream laptop with Windows S which requires no virus
protectionAlthough I have a Lenovo Win 10 machine, this deal is very
tempting. .
Jaws is going to be a subscription-based program so I will have to pay
$90a year to keep it updated. If Narrator works well, it is included in
Windows so I can use the $90 for other things like maybe Office 360
The HP laptop with Windows S would also eliminate the cost of antivirus
software not to mention the issues with accessibility for the antivirus
programs.
I am also considering just getting an iPad so I have a back-up if
something happens to my phone, but then I'd have to back the iPhone and
iPad up to something so I could move stuff from my phone to the ipad -- I
get stressed out when I have to deal with that. also, iPads seem to only
last a few years before the iPad is no longer ubdateable.
I really don't want to try to learn how to use a Fire tablet, and I doubt
the accessibility is as good as Apple or Microsoft
Just hopeing to get people's thoughts. Really hoping Narrator is working
so I can lose Jaws. I know NVDA is an option, but that is one more thing
to learn and why bother if Narrator has improved enough.
Thanks for any input,
brenda
