What hardware do I need to open .dds files? Will I be able to get a laptop with the needed hardware?

Question

I am a games modder and so need to edit .dds files, I do this all the time at home on my desktop PC but need to buy a laptop because I am spending less and less time at home, I know that .dds files are to some degree linked to the graphics card and rely on that rather than software to render them. Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you..
