Well any old laptop will upload tunes but trying to log is a different story. I had a Pentium 100mhz laptop that was too slow to log with. I think if you had a Pentium II 300 mhz or better then you would be ok.

Ebay has tons of them for 149 bucks with Pentium II, 6 gig hard drive, 64mb ram, etc.

No problems here using a Toshiba 550 mHz, 192 MB RAM, 5 GB hard drive, Windows XP with HPTuners ver 1.7. I have not tried HPT ver 2.0 yet.
