What will you be using this laptop for? I don't see any problems with it
per say, but if you'll be using it with JAWS, the 2G of memory might be
tight. This will be even more of an issue if you'll be using memory
intensive applications,like MS Office.

The 80G might also be tight if you're going to use it for a lot of
media, like music and videos. I'm not sure how much working hard drive
space you'll have after installing Windows 7. Of course, adding some
external storage at some point would always be an option.

Do you know anything about the battery?

I think this laptop would be good for casual home use, e.g. portability,
checking email, surfacing the internet and so on. This is true
especially if you'll be using a screen reader like NVDA or if you're
considering replacing Windows 7 on it with Ubuntu and Orca.

I think the memory might give you issues if you try using it with JAWS
and office suites. You could always add a bit more memory. I'd be
happier with 4G myself. Do you know what the memory configuration is
like? How easy would it be to add another 2G of memory?

Did you hijack another thread by any chance? This showed up in the
Kendel thread in my email client. If so, I'd suggest posting a new
message when starting a new thread, instead of replying to another
unrelated message.
