Kaitlyn,

This computer seems like a great slim/light weight option.  It's much better
than my current Dell Inspiron 9100 clunker, which must weigh about 10
pounds.

Hello Kasondra, 

Well, I spoke with Dell this week and no one seems to know of that computer
they told me about six weeks ago when I spoke with a sales rep. 

I forget the one you said you are using? Was it the 1100? 

Here is an option I have been reading up on and may make a call to get some
additional information. 

? Intel® Centrino? Mobile Technology
available with select VAIO notebooks.
? Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional available
? An ultra-light 3.04 pounds
? Up to 9 hours of battery life
1
? 10.6" widescreen display with
XBRITE? technology.

Sony VGN-T350P/T
NEW

List of 6 items
? Intel® Pentium® M Processor Ultra Low Voltage 753 (1.20GHz1, 2MB L2 Cache)
? Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional
? Integrated wireless WAN through Cingular Wireless National EDGE Network

? DVD+R Double Layer/DVD±RW drive
? 512MB RAM

I haven't found the actual spec sheets on these but from other reading they
are just under 1 inch thick and about 11 by 8. 

I'll keep up by research but these is the smallest and lightest I have found
yet.

Thanks Kaitlyn.  I wish I had seen that four months ago.  But that's fine.
The laptop they sold me works fine for what I want it to do.  I will
eventually add Kurzweil and a small Braille display, when I have the money.


This was the best option for me.
