I Dell duo-core P4 2.33G with 2GB memory XP32 which is always connected to the K3 serial port and does all the digital mode work.  I Dell Inspiron with win8.1 always connected to the SDR-IQ but gets very irregular use.  I have an old P90 win95 IBM thinkpad for running an old packet program or a CW key program (but not getting much use these days - Keep for any legacy DOS sw).

My wife bought a new Dell with win7 this past year and is chomping for a new desktop (her's is same genre as my desktop which she never uses).  I told her to wait till win10 is available.  She also has a ipad-3 which is in constant use.  I have no idea why she needs a desktop.
