Being Jimmie's partner I KNOW that he is at least a little naive, crazy or both, especially when it comes to HP laptops. Otherwise, he is a great guy and has helped me a lot. I have have recently started AC. I took the route of having all in one desktop workstations from M-Tech Laptops installed in my office. These are desktops. The quality and service from M-Tech is subperb but it costs more. I used Lenovo laptops in my exam rooms for years to access the hospital data base, Internet, etc and always had problems with my wireless connection. Now, everything is hardwired, I am using the all in ones in the exam rooms and it works great. The patients are impressed because they can see the data entered on the screen and readily participate because they can see what the nurse or I am entering. Like Jimmie, I will then finish the note with Dragon in my office. I have just brought a M-Tech server on line now, having used an M-Tech laptop temporarily for the server.
I have used HP, Dell and Lenovo computers for over 15 years and have had problems with all of them. I strongly recommend that if a user wants to purchase a reliable computer that they at least go the the M-Techlaptops site at
www.mtechlaptops.com and see what they offer. You can also talk to a real person in Michigan, not half way around the world. They are not paid on commission and have great pride in their products. I have one of the 8700 laptops and had it designed to work optimally with Dragon Naturally Speaking. They will work with you to find the optimum equipment for your individual needs.
