Not unless it is connected by HDMI, and the idea is to leave all PC junk behind. I personally like using BT head phones, but that’s just me.

Minis start at $600, whereas the cheapest Macbook starts at $900, and iMacs are $1099, I think. That said, if it's your primary computer, I can't recommend a Macbook highly enough. They are so small and light that they're easy to take anywhere, and nothing beats having your entire computer with you when you need it.

The USB drives do work well with the mini, if one needs such. I've used one a time or two. I rarely have a need for a drive anymore, however.

Yes, all Macs have VoiceOer built in, so long as they have OS 10.4 or later. In other words, any Mac you buy nowadays, and back to 2005 I believe, will have it. 2. No, not anymore. They used to have disk drives, but have not for a few years now, just like the Macbook and iMac lines. Disk drives are going away, and I find that I only rarely miss having one, not even often enough to make me pick up a USB disk drive. 3. No, the Mini is a small computer tower. It has no screen, keyboard, or mouse, though it does have a small internal speaker. It is meant to be connected to all necessary peripherals. If you're after an all-in-one solution, a Macbook might be better for you. The iMac is also an option; it has the tower and screen in one unit (though it is not a touch screen). No Mac currently offers a touch screen, only iOS devices do that. For the blind especially, though, a trackpad is just as good, since it lets you feel around the screen and perform familiar VO gestures to navigate and perform other actions.

I have always been a Windows user, so pardon my ignorance. 1. Does the Mac Mini have voiceover? 2. Does it have a CD drive? 3. Is the Mac Mini a touch screen? Thanks for answering my questions.
