Hi Derek.

JAWS should work well enough in most situations with 512MB of RAM if you are 
just doing basic tasks, you don't have too many programs open at once or you 
don't want to use synthesisers like the RealSpeak synthesiser that comes 
with JAWS 8 and later.

This being said, 512MB is really the bargain basement for laptops these days 
and almost all come with at least 1GB of RAM.

This should be fine for most tasks particularly when running Windows XP.

If you want to do something like speech recognition with programs such as 
Dragon Naturally Speaking then I would suggest a PC with 2 GB of RAM but 1 
should be ample otherwise.

Regards

Graham

Ok thanks for all comments.
Any views about RAM?
I have been  told to have minimum 1GB would all jaws users agree with that
advice or  is Jaws better with a more RAM.

Note the laptop  will only be used for:
Scanner, emails, printer and surf the net.
There will  be no downloads of music,  obviously, as I am deaf.

I expect Jaws9 to be used because it will be next year wehn kit setup.
