PC recomendation for cd ripping


I am planning on using JRiver media center to rip my cd collection using an Acer Lap top. Does the laptop impact sound quality when ripping cds to FLAC files?

My PC is about 4 yrs old. I maybe over thinking this but does the cd/dvd drive of the PC effect the quality (sound) of the FLAC file created when ripping cd's?

If so, what PC based laptop under %500 would be recommended?

Rip CD's on PC using dbpoweramp with Accurate Rip enabled. Use a drive with C2 error correction.
