Thanks. I'll probably go with a Macbook. This experience alone has shown that the Chromebook, even though it is cheaper, won't probably ever be as good as a main computer.

Hi. I do a lot with my Chromebook, but it can't become my main computer. I keep hitting accessibility issues that force me to boot up the Windows laptop. Accessibility is slowly improving, but it isn't there yet.This message is an example of a minor but important issue with the Chromebook. If it has miss spelled words, I can't tell or fix them. Until this is fixed, I use my Android smart phone or Firefox on Windows to send mail so things are spelled correctly.

Hi all. I'm trying to decide if I want a chromebook or a macbook. I want honest, unbiased opinions here, fore this is no light request. Apple, in the past few years, seems to have dropped a bit in accessibility, while Google seoms to have grown a little. Now, my birthday is coming up, and I need an answer before May 7, sooner if possible. I know computers are more about use cases, so I'll list mine below.
I do some web browsing, chatting on iMessage and hangouts sometimes, and have a gmail and iCloud email accounts, which I use most often. I use Windows mainly for MUD gaming, with I do a lot of, so an accessible MUD clccent will go a long way to assuring I buy a Chromebook, lol. Seriously though: I do write documents, mainly for school though. Those documents usually may have images, or every, a table of contents. I watch youtube somewhat, and also sometimes make music, so a good music creation tool would be good, especially because I just got a pedal for my keyboard. I also use facebook chat, and kik sometimes, but I know that's just on mobile devices for now.
My web browsing mainly is reading Biblical things and articles from emails. I usually spend a good 10 hours a day on a computg, so a good keyboard would be nice. Good TTS would be good too, and I do wish Chromebooks could get the high qualtion voices within the chromebook, like British and Indian English. I may need braille display support when I go to work for the IRS, or whereever I end up, lol. Also, I need committed accessibility. I want a system that is ensured to be accessible 3 or so years from now. I like Apple, and like this iPhone, but I also want to know what Google has in store, and if it could be a more reliable, accessible, less expensive but just as good, as that $900 chromebook.

Hi. For some reason, shift f10 never opens the menu on my Chromebook.
Keep in mind, Chromevox is geting a major update in may.As for spell checking, though Chromevox doesn't tell you there is a missed-spelled word if you are in Google Docs for example, you are able to still press shift-f10 to bring up a context menu for word suggestions.
