Hello Debra, Well, I am by no means a Mac expert but I can tell you, without reservation, that the MacBook Pro 13 inch notebook is one of the finest pieces of technology I have ever owned. The built-in multi-touch track pad is one of the most compelling reasons for VoiceOver users to select it.

The only think it adds in respect to spoken information is the support for the earbuds with the remote (like the newest ipod shuffle). With this you can remotely (through the earbuds) have the voice speak the song and artist as well as cause it to step through the playlists. In addition
