I have used the focus display a little bit, but the braille edge is the one I'm getting if I get one. I want to be able to store books on it.
The hand-copied thermaform braille is torture. I had to read a book for school once with it, and I litterally had to ask for an extension on the final assignment my fingers were so messed up. I just hope with this new release mac adds some braille options or at least improves some people are unhappy with. thanks for the comments.
