Dear Matthew, One factor that might influence your decision is whether you want to do data processing on that computer or not. Large data sets collected on e.g. EIGER detectors may challenge a standard Linux laptop. To get the best out of DIALS I would certainly recommend no less than 16 GB of RAM (and that might not be enough if you've got a big unit cell, low dose, fine-slicing and want to use > 1 processor). However, I'm led to believe that fewer people process synchrotron data sets off site these days.
