[Elecraft] PC laptop for K3/KX3 digital modes

[Dave Moorman]

Hello, All -

I’d like to get the K3 and KX3 on HF digital and am wondering if anyone can recommend a reasonably priced PC laptop which would do that.  My experience has been only Macintosh so the PC laptop world is unknown territory.  A decent keyboard and a trackpad are pretty essential, but that’s about the only hard-and-fast requirements.  

Another question; I have an older iBook G3 on which I’m attempting to install Linux.  Has anyone done that?

Thanks,
