I have mixed reviews. My 3000 worked well at home... but after two dxpeditions with it in the field over the past 3 months... It's very sensitive to obtaining a good RF ground, which I never could achieve (or at least didn't care to haul all the necessary stuff to do it along on the trip). Curiously other radios like its predecessor (Icom 756 Pro II) and now successor (latest K3) never experienced. I'll keep my 5000 for home base use... but sadly my 3000 is up for sale and not my preferred radio for portable use.

I use mine with a desktop and love it, but am travelling south now for the winters. I'm considering using either the FLEX 3000 mobile with a Lenovo ThinkPad T520 423946U or buying a used Icom I706MKIIG and a LDG AT-200PROII ant tuner. What are your expiences running the flex mobile with a laptop?
