Doesn’t need to be top of the line.

If you do not use a windows laptop, just buy a cheap used one off Craigslist.

Would be best to have on that has a recovery cd or partition that can wipe out old install and put new clean version on it.

I would make sure it has RJ45 Ethernet plug on it and not using a USB adapter as a few seem to report issues with them.

I bought one off craigslist just for this purpose. It had Vista on it and then I installed Win 7 with a hacked disk I had and only use ESYS and my JB4 software on it. I paid $50. All I did was buy a new battery.
