Hi John, specs look good but I'd wait to see the new LapTalk as well.
It's the 2nd generation and the team told me they introduced many features
requested by BI users.
Believe amongst others it has a 1.6 GB Centrino processor, 60 GB hard drive,
Windows XP home, Window Eyes Pro, on board CD drives, quick keys dedicated to
specific programs as well as new "audio" keys that enable one to access
music/books whilst on the move without opening the unit. It also offers 10
hours battery life.
Price $2,495 and $200 off if you already have a screen reader.
Sadly though the UK distributor does not stock the new unit yet.
