DXpedition computer for K3

[Linas-2-3]

Hello Group,

In fact, any lap-top would do the job, it depends on the needs and the
environment of the DX-pedition. Assuming, the DX-pedition involves
traveling with lots of  vibrating, dust or humidity it is good to have a
lap-top where nothing rotates in it, that is, NO Hard disk. I'm using
succesfully  the Asus Eee PC 4G . The Hard disk is replaced in it by the
card type disk (4 GB) and there is also a slot for an extra card (I  put
8GB in). The RAM of 2GB allows for smooth running of all ham software I
need (mainly N1MM and HRD) plus internet browsing.  Very useful feature
of this type of  laptop - it only needs 9,5V  feeding. The screen of  
the first 700 series is a bit too small (7 inch), but now there are
already  new versions of 900 series with the 9 inch screen.These come
also with bigger card disk and Windows xp pre-installed.  All cost
around 300EUR in Europe.

    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
