I was curious as to how purchases work at gun shows. Depends upon who's selling. If seller has a FFL he has to obey all the checks, waiting periods, etc. If a private citizen, nothing. That's the infamous loophole: private sales. Most of what you would see at a show is not privately held;

It depends on state law in the state the sale occurs. And if it involves interstate transactions, federal law applies. In California, ALL sales, including private party sales, have to be processed through an FFL licensed dealer and have a 10 day waiting period during which the receiving FFL

Seriously, any Windows box should do the job. Look for a decent price and try to avoid any annoying things, like noisy fans or laptops that get too hot. You'll want Windows 7 (at least) or 8 and if you load the 64 bit version you can actually use all the RAM if you have over 3GB installed.
