Get a cheap usb--serial converter. Check amazon for trend usb rs-232 db9 serial converter, tu-s9. Then you can just use whatever laptop.
I've seen some cheap RS-232 converters fail with some devices. I was last bitten by one that just refused to work with Cisco Aironet APs 2600. I can't say if it was the device or the driver. I never knew what the problem ultimately was. Using a different model or brand worked. Just to have the precaution. O.
