Would something like this allow you to comfortably run JAWS and MS Office? I can see this as an excellent machine used primarily for writing but am afraid of the processing power some of these apps have now taken up.

Today I wasted $205 on a UMPC AKA Ultra Mobile PC. I've raved about these before, but for those who don't already know or haven't heard my rant, picture a 6 inch laptop with a keyboard, display, and running Windows 7. It's not the most powerful machine and they stopped making them about 6 or 7 years ago, but I've always wanted a PC with a keyboard small enough to fit in your pocket. It's too bad UMPCs just never caught on. If they had, not only would modern versions be much more powerful, but I suspect they would have been quite popular with the blind community. Most of them are smaller than tablets and usually have a touch screen as well. The combination of a keyboard and a touch screen in something slightly smaller than a tablet with modern hardware could have been the ultimate in mobile computing for both the blind and sighted. The specs are below for anyone who cares.
