Look for an older laptop. A real serial port is very helpful, I've found that MegaTune is unstable with a USB-RS232 converter.
I'm lucky to have access to a newer laptop with a serial port. My work bought it because it's the only laptop that Dell still makes with a real serial port. The hard drive sucks, but whatever.
