Try the Mountbatten Brailler - it's electric but substantially slimmer and quite a bit lighter than the Perkins. Designed to be portable. RNIB will have details.

Has anybody heard of one that is smaller than a Perkins, light enough for a student to carry around in her bag? Preferably a manual unit. I would appreciate any tips. Thanks in advance.
