Hi Martin,
If you are only capturing data and controlling the scope a low spec laptop is fine.
High spec's with plenty of ram is needed for processing though.
I only use mine for capture, an imaging camera, a guide camera and computer control of the mount. I use a $300 Toshiba with a 14" screen, an Intel celeron processor, 2 gig of ram, 500gig hdd and about 8 hrs battery life (low spec laptops don't use as much power). I do the processing on my desktop. A high spec laptop can get expensive and out in the field things can get a bit damp at times so a cheap laptop is something less to worry about.
