[Elecraft] PC laptop for K3/KX3 digital modes

[Don Wilhelm]

Dave,

If you are looking for an economy laptop, I would steer you to the 
refurbished IBM laptops.  They are typically priced at $240 and up 
loaded with Windows 7 professional.  See 
http://www-304.ibm.com/shop/americas/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/default/CategoryDisplay?categoryId=2576396&storeId=1&catalogId=-840.

I have had good success with the IBM/Lenovo computers - they just keep 
on running, but then I normally use only desktops, the laptop is only 
for infrequent travel purposes.

73,
Don W3FPR

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.
