<p>Judy, you are correct. This is the total weight with the netbook attached, which is about 3 pounds itself with battery. Unit is just 3 inches tall, full 10-inch screen and just about a full-size QWERTY keyboard.</p>

<p>The way I use the unit is I edit on the system itself while at the job, scan untrans, edit flagged areas, etc. That way, most dictionary updates are then on the writer itself with no need to transfer dictionaries, etc. Plus, I get most of my work done at the job during breaks, dead time, etc. Then at the end of the job I simply transfer the file(s) to the SD card of USB thumbdrive and transfer to my larger computer at home for full editing and finalizing transcript.

These files would be in your actual CAT software format so you don't loose anything on the transfer, audio, edits all transfer over. You don't detach the unit for editing; only would do so if netbook had a problem and you wanted to replace it. </p>
<p>Also, the system can be set up so that it simply acts as a "writer" and interfaces with a separate computer via USB for translation, which kind of defeats the purpose but can be done. Hope that answers your question. Thanks, Jerry</p> Thanks, Jerry.

<p>Thanks, Jerry. </p>
<p>One more question. Is your design set up so that the reporter would unhook the laptop and scope/proof/finish the transcript on THAT laptop, or is it designed to transfer your files to another laptop? I guess the real question is: How easy is it to unhinge the laptop from the writer? Is it just a push and a click type of thing, or is it more like getting a screwdriver and working at separating the two?</p>

<p>Is that thing paperless? When I took my MeritWriter apart, took out the disk box and the clutch stuff, the writer was down to five pounds. Once you take the disk box out a writer becomes real light.</p>
