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.

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,

Dave  K9SW
