A pen and paper would probably do just fine for taking the odd note.
However I'd probably take a cheap old laptop off ebay, bought for the event and then discarded afterward. I'd feel I was missing out if I wasn't able to at least dip a packet sniffer into the famously hellish torrent of exploits I've heard so much about. I'd never take any of my personal machines though.
