Hi Louis,
The MacBook Pro has better specs, so it will be able to process large audio or
video files faster. I'm not sure what the specs of the latest MacBook Pros are.
I've got an early 2011 model with 4 GB of RAM, an Intel COre I5 processor
running at 2.3 GHz, and a 320 GB hard disk. What kin
Hmmm, very interesting, Gigi. I wonder what sort of line count you could set it
to. As for keystrokes, I find that control-tab does work, reasonably or
unreasonably, and I like that method, because it puts me right into the
conversation, and I can VO left and right and listen to the entire text
Yes, this is very useful information. I am leaning more towards the
macbook Pro. Are there reasons why the pro is better than the air or
vice versa?

Hi Louis,
It sounds like a MacBook Air would be your best bet, though I don't know what
kind of specs it has. I've also heard that the MacBook Air has a similar price
to the 13 inch MacBook Pro, which you could also try. If you don't want to
spend too much, you could also go for the ordinary Ma

The images to which you are referring are the various things you are

I believe VoiceOver reads parts of these images as clickable. It can be
