You don't really need to have anything more than a USB 3.0 port. If we get into technicalities, RAM could impact the transfer speed as when you read the write you're technically writing it into RAM for a quick moment before writing it to the USB drive as well as the physical disk you're writing to could slow it down.
Though, these are very unlikely to bottleneck your speeds as you said the laptop has a USB 3.0 port (meaning it was made during or after 2008). In reality, the bottleneck will be the card itself. For example, the Lexar Professional 1000x 128GB SDXC UHS-II/U3 Card (a 185 USD card used for normally for 4k content) only has a read speed of 1200Mbps (150MB/s). USB 3.0 has a limit of 5000Mbps (625MB/s). Meaning that in reality, the bottleneck will be the card itself.
Though, disk speed can get into a limit once you get into higher speeds (such as USB 3.0 & USB 3.1). For example, the "Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD" (something you'd expect to see on a laptop) has a write/read speed of 4160Mbps (520MB/s) which is slower than USB 3.0 (5000Mbps or 625MB/s)
Here's a tool you're probably going to need: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B013JP4PAS <- it's extremely cheap and thus cheaply made. But, I don't think you're able to afford much as you're using a "looking for a cheap laptop".
If you decide to buy a laptop just for transferring content, buy used. Provided it has a 4 GB of RAM (8 GB ideally) and a USB 3.0 (a blue USB slot), you should be fine.
