The Lightwriter was £3,200 ($5,148.63) and was funded for me. I got my Macbook off ebay for £500! ($804,47).
It was the best for me at the time as there wasn't the apps and accessories for me to be able to manage anything smaller and I didnt want a windows device.
I now use an iPad and iPhone though with Proloquo2go app for text-to-speech which is only about £109 ($149) in comparison to $5,000!!
I am currently signed up to be Beta tester for the word prediction feature coming to Proloquo2go so will be doing a review when it is officially released to compare the word prediction with that on the Lightwriter.
I have found though using Lightwriter in public I got pitying glances and it made me feel more disabled so I quickly stopped using it unless I had no choice and it was a private appointment like in a doctors office.
I prefer using my iPhone in public like a shop cos people think a talking iPhone is cool.
