Apple breaks it's OWN hardware when it wants you to buy a new computer.
I have a Macbook Pro from 2009 which won't run the latest MacOS. The
Macbook is still in very good condition, so I installed Ubuntu Linux on

Apple controls the hardware AND the software for a good reason. It just works.
I can’t remember the last time anything crashed on my Mac. I am willing to

agreed I haven’t touched a Win PC in over 10 years but I have Win XP, Win 7,
Win 10 and Linux running as virtual machines on my Macbook Pro. There is
virtually nothing I can’t run. I keep as much as possible native OSX, though.

So, can you run two different versions of Windows and Mac OS on your PC and
switch between them with a click of a mouse? I had to do

Macintoshes do a very good job of handling the needs of hams, especially with
Elecraft devices. I do _all_ of my computing with Macintoshes, including a lot
of product development.

If he wants a computer to load firmware and keep his KX2 (or KX3) up to
date, then his Mac should do nicely.
Otherwise, an inexpensive laptop for the field should do nicely.
Preferably with good battery life.

All of the Elecraft software is available for Mac, with one exception, the
memory editor.
You’ll need some sort of computer connection to back up the radio configuration
and to update the firmware. Otherwise, the radios work just fine without a
computer connected.
For general computer
Elecraft software is all available in macOS compatible versions. The Elecraft
cable works just as well with a Mac.
Unfortunately, much other ham radio software is not. It tends to be Windows
only, although there ARE good general purpose logging programs, digital
software, and software for
