As you have a DSI, some things to lookout for:
1. not sure about the interface for your scope, but if you plan to control the scope from a program other than the handset, unless your laptop has a serial port, you will have to purchase a Serial to USB converter - and not all of them seem to work
2. the DSI imager MUST have 500mA supplied to it from the USB port of the laptop. Check that the proposed laptop can do this EVEN IF you have something else connected to the other USB port, i.e. ports do not share power - otherwise you will have to buy a powered USB hub
cheers
