Unfortunately I don't have a desktop computer, and I was wondering if theres any way I can Use my Laptop Dell XPS m1710 Laptop to do so. also if there is a way, what is the PCi Express card I should buy to connect the SATA from my laptop to the Xbox360. Any Help on it would be much appreciated.
Can I use my Dell XPS m1710 Laptop to Mod my Xbox 360?

Firstly, do you have a Hitachi or Samsung drive??
If it's a Hitachi you can do it very easily with a simple USB-SATA bridge cable without having to buy a SATA card. These cables are very inexpensive & you can pick them up on ebay for a few pounds/dollars. All you have to do is get the drive into Mode b so it can be recognised in Windows, which is easy enough & explained in Textbooks tutorial along with the steps to dump & flash.
If you have a Samsung, then your gonna need to buy a VIA or other compatible (not sure which if any for notebooks/laptops) PCI SATA card. I did a quick search but could not find info on compatible cards for laptops.

I just bought my xbox 360 on ebay, so I have not yet receive it, but witch driver is easier to mod the Hitachi or the Samsung? in my case , using the laptop to mod it.
They are both easy, but your restricted by your laptop, so you will be better off receiving a console with a Hitachi drive, maybe a version 47 or 59. That way you can flash them easily from within Windows using a command prompt following Textbooks tutorial.
IF you have the Hitachi, you will just need one of these:

When you get the console check here to tell which drive you have:
