For the last 10-15 years all I have bought are Dells both Desktops and Laptops from the Outlet Store. They can be returns, Discontinued, Scratch & Dent, new ones that have been exchanged. Excellent Warranty!!! I have 3 for the shack and 4 laptops, my wife has one of each also as does my Grandson for when he comes over.
I recently bought a Clam Shell Case for my iPad that gives it a regular raised keyboard and with its battery can power the iPad for about 100+ hrs continuous use or 6 mo standby. The case is all aluminum and lightweight. But still keeps the iPad small in size the case is amazing in all it does, but a bit pricey. 73, Fred/N0AZZ K3 Ser # 6730--KX3 # 5210--K2/100 # 6470-KAT100 P3/SVGA--KAT500--W2 Amps Elecraft KPA500 HF/6m--Alpha's 9500 HF--87A HF--Mirage B-5030-G 300+w--(2) B-5016-G's 165w 2m -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Lynn W.

I'm picky about keyboards. My netbook has an awful keyboard -- my mistake. Otherwise, look at battery life if you want to operate portable. -- Lynn On 11/19/2013 5:23 PM, Dave Moorman wrote: > 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.
