I thought both models of MacBooks had SD card slots? Just going on memory here, as I used one for a short time at a bestbuy store. I'm not sure if Apple Care plans cover spills and scratches, this is the only reason I can gather to go with bestbuy's protection plan, in addition to applecare. do users ever extend appleCare plans, to two years, or whatever the maximum allows? is there anyway when issuing commands to use only VO keys, minus others to preform all tasks? Can hot keys be assigned, in the event a key dequence is to much all at once?

I'd go for a Macbook Air. With 4GB of ram, and 128GB of storage, you'd only spend $899. I'd suggest upgrading the storage, though. The only differences between the 11-inch and 13-inch are the price, an SD card slot in the 13-inch, and smaller function keys on the top row, and arrow keys, on the 11-inch. As to questions, Apple Accessibility is good, but I found it easier to email this list when I was learning. Both are great resources, though, and nothing stops you from using them both. Don't forget about www.applevis.com as well, where you'll find forums, guides, podcasts, and so on. There's even a link on the homepage for those new to the Mac.

Since then, I've purchased a book on the subject, and its my hope that i'll be better equipped to deal with my potential new computer as a whole. VoiceOver is part of the OS I know, but whitch OS works best in the way of accessibility, i.e., Mavericks, Mountain Lion or Tiger? Which model of the macBook is the most usable and popular for blind users? i don't need anything with extreme graphics, and don't think this would have any impact on VoiceOver describing labeled graphics. Aren't that type of graphics and display more visually appealing for the sighted? I know windows 8 is out, but feel the OS has changed drastically, and feel a change is needed. Do people usually utelize Apple Accessible tech support or this list for problems and questions? There's only a limited amount of time that Apple Accessible tech support can help me, and just wanna be sure I've covered all my bases properly.
