It's now called FactoryTalk View ME Studio. I think RSView ME is the older name for it. The studio is the editing application and it will run a test environment for you on that laptop if all you need is to learn it. If you need to run the finished project independently then you will need a Panelview Plus that match the version of the Studio ME you got and it's not a small $ amount. You can also buy Factorytalk View ME Station which is the run-time license for a ME project that can run on a Windows PC.
Again, you do not need another piece of hardware to test run the project. The ME Studio can do it.
