You are certainly free to buy whatever you want, however, to the price of the Thinkpad you need to add the cost of screenreaders and if you want them a Braille keyboard and a Braille display. Jaws currently Sellss for $800 and a 20 cell display would cost you around $3000. If you add all of this up, the price fore the ELBA looks pretty good. Not to mention that the ELBA is compact and in one piece. Tommy
