Charlie: I have had good success with the Lenovo Yoga 2 11 ($400). It's actually my wife's machine, but I use it when we travel to places.
It's not the fastest machine, and the screen is not the biggest, but its small, light, flat, easy to use, quiet and runs everything I need to connect to both a K3 and a TS590. I use a Microham Microkeyer 1 when taking my radio on the road. Used with care, you can get around 3-4 hours on the standard battery, and bigger batteries are also available on Amazon. I've not needed these since there is power where I have taken this setup. The two biggest detriments for this machine is that it has only two USB ports. But the easy fix is a 7 port powered USB expander, which fixed that issue and add little weight to the package. The other detriment is the nutty on board touchpad, but a $5 Wireless Mouse fixes that just fine I don't use the touch screen at all. The keyboard, as in all ThinkPad computers, is superb for touch typing. Regards Lu Romero - W4LT K-Line -------------=-------------------=------------------------------ I'm looking for suggestions for a lightweight laptop or 2-in-1 tablet type of machine to take while hiking/backpacking portable. I also want to be able to recharge it with my solar panel/charger/12V Lithium or SLA battery. I'd love to get the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 but don't want to spend north of $1,000! What are others using for a portable Windows that will run products like HDSDR, HRD. PSK, etc.? I'd like it to be under 3 pounds if possible.
