You'd need to copy Cygwin from your desktop to your laptop. Just a drag
n' drop copy of the cygwin folder from your desktop to your laptop
should be sufficient. Assuming that you're duplicating the layout of
your desktop on your laptop, you'll also need to copy the mount table.
You can do that by generating a .bat file with the appropriate commands
using something like:
mount -m > foo.bat
and running foo.bat under in the MS-DOS console on your laptop.
Finally, you'll need to run mkpasswd and mkgroup doing something like:
bash$ mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd
bash$ mkgroup -l > /etc/passwd

That's fine but there is no way to exactly duplicate your desktop layout
on your laptop using cygwin's setup.exe.
