Hi, ultimately the best thing is for you to try and get your hands on a
few displays to choose from. If you can't do that, then you will go
mainly by reviews and/or what other people say. Here is my take on this
display.
1. It's small and portable. That's good for me.
2. It has 18 cells. That's not good for me personally. I prefer 32 or
40, but the trade off is that it's not as portable.
3. It costs less. You mentioned cost, so this is a factor.
4. The usb port is sometimes hard to connect the cable into. When
charging it, you have to connect a cable into it. this is also true if
you want to use it with a pc or mac. users have reported that the
recessed charging port is sometimes hard to reach and when the cable is
in, it's hard to pull out.
5. It can be flipped up-side-down. you can use the display with the
display toward you, or away from you. I guess that's a neat feature, but
not of interest to me personally.
With the comments above I tried to be unbiased except where I add in my
own personal comments. However, over all it's not a bad display to get
as long as you are aware of some of the features and/or issues with it,
like the charging connection. Beyond that, the display software seems to
be stable, it pairs with iPhone and/or ipad just fine, and is a great
and small portable display. Another one to consider under the 2000
dollar range is the Freedom Scientific Focus 14 cell display. However
it's 14 cells instead of 18, and is lighter, and some say would break
easier.
Good luck.

Hi all, I'm very lucky in that I'm going to be able to get a braille display.
I am looking at the refreshabraille. I was just wondering if anyone has this
display and would recommend it. Obviously I know its kind of small, but I sort
of need to stay under the $2000 mark. Any thoughts positively or egatively
would be appreciated.
Thanks,\
