DXpedition computer for K3

[DBellW6AQ]

Does anyone use an ACER Netbook Aspire One with a K3?  I need something really light for my one-man DXpeditions.

 

Thanks in advance, Dave, W6AQ

I don't know about the Acer, but I'm using an eeePC 901 and it works
pretty well.  The only problem was that the Elecraft-provided Prolific
USB adapter overran LP-Bridge, but a FTDI-based serial port took care
of the problem.

I have a Samsung NC-10. The only trouble with these netbooks is that the keyboards were designed for people with small hands and thin fingers. If that isn't you, I would recommend spending a bit of time typing on one before making a decision.

We are taking Acer Aspires to KP5. We have thoroughly tested them with
Win-Test, Microham router, MMTTY and various other programs and have not
uncovered any issues. While we won't be using K3s, I am certain that you
will not have any problems.

We shopped around and were able to save about 10% over the current price on
the street. Contact me off-list for the details.

I picked up an Averatec laptop at Wal-Mart a number of years ago.  It is
small, lightweight pretty quick.  I have never tried it for logging.  Used
it for GPS navigation in my truck.  The keyboard is smaller than I like but
it is very usable.

Good luck!

Dave and All,

 

I have an Acer Aspire One (I'm using it now), and it works fine with the K3.  I can download K3 updates, etc. with no problem.  Mine has a 120 GB hard drive, 1 MB RAM, and uses Windows XP.  I'm really enjoying the computer.

 

By the way, I got an email from buy.com the other day that they were selling the larger version (160 GB hard drive) for $329--that's a good price, and less than I paid for mine.  I think it has the larger battery also.

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply. If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it. If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense. Is Common Sense divine?
