I use a non-Apple notebook and it has an ESC key.  However, I believe I have a
very useful tip for you: "C-[".  For Emacs that key is equivalent to ESC.  I
use it frequently, because it is often easier to type than ESC.  For example,
to repeat complex commands, C-x C-[ C-[ is easier to type than C-x ESC ESC.  In
fact, I often prefer "C-[ *" to "M-*".  For example, I prefer C-[ C-i to C-M-i.
