[gui-talk] Looking for laptop articles on AFB access World

[Joel Deutsch]

al,
Al,
Joel here. I'd have to subscribe to get articles on Consumer Reports about 
these things, and I don't mean what are the most basic things about laptops. 
I'm not that ignorant. but if I wanted to see the latest descriptive and 
evaluative reports about quality, battery life, and so forth, I'd have to 
fork over some money.

I do belong to Newsline, and a random look through a recent computer 
magazine might be helpful in getting me orientted, even if I just saw one 
review of some product or other. but I can't download whole issues. I can 
only read what's dcurrently online. Because I'm still waiting for that free 
daisy reader! LOL

If you went to consumer reports you could benefit from overviews of the
basic types of laptops.  Since you  belong to NLS you could look in issues
of Smart Computing or PC World.  I believe they carry them  both now for
download.

Joel,

Because laptop and netbook models tend to have very short product life
cycles, the blind publications rarely review specific models.  Even Consumer

Reports has a hard time keeping up with rapid changes in models and
features.  The blind publications prefer to review adaptive technology
products that have a relatively stable product life cycle.  Also, laptops
and netbooks are mainstream products which, by themselves, lack special
adaptive enhancements, except, of course for products like the IPhone 3GS
and the Mac with Voice Over.
