Hi all,
Does anyone have any experience with the HP system utilities on the EliteBook line of laptops? In particular, I am wondering how accessible HP's system management utilities (for, say, adjusting power settings) are with JAWS. I am in need of a new laptop and was able to find a good deal on an HP EliteBook 840 G10, but having inaccessible system utilities would definitely influence my purchasing decision. One of the things I really liked about my previous Latitude was how accessible all of the Dell utilities are, so I really don't want to go backwards in this regard if I don't have to.
Thanks for any help,
Michael

HP
Hi,
I do not have an eliteBook, but I do have a HP laptop. All of the applications that came pre-installed, that were from HP, all seem to work just fine with NVDA. Some of the HP stuff includes System Event Utility, HP Audio Center, HP QuickDrop (which is no longer supported), HP Privacy Settings, and HP Smart (for Printers).
Again all of these work with NVDA.
HTH.
Not accessible
I haven't found any of them to be accessible at all.
However, I have found that the quality of HP's telephone support consistently increases significantly when I mention that I'm blind and can't perform the troubleshooting steps they've asked me to take.
I'd recommend lenovo.
I have a HP laptop but I used to have a lenovo all in one pc and the software it came with was very accessible as far as I remember.
Honestly, i'd get rid of all that hp software and just use the windows setingos for power management but that's just me.
