ATI laptop tips

[Alicia Starner]

Hello Everyone,

 

My husband and I finally saved up the money to purchase a new laptop for me
to start the school year with this fall. I don't know a lot about computer
hardware and wondered if some of you who are more knowledgeable can help me
decide what is most important when purchasing a laptop. How much memory
should it have? Is there anything to consider about the processor when
considering the laptop will be running JAWS? Are certain brands better than
others? Etc. I will be interested to hear what your thoughts are. I want to
use the laptop for accessing my textbooks in alternative format, reading and
creating MS Office documents, sending and receiving email, etc. Also, how
and where do I purchase internet service that will allow me to connect to
the internet regardless of where I am. What I want to be able to do is to
connect to the internet to complete homework assignments and such, even when
I am not at home. Perhaps I go to the library with my children and want to
sit at a table and work on my homework and need to go online, where can I
purchase service that will allow me to do that for an affordable price?

 

Thanks again for all your help.

 

Alicia
