well, if you use svn just put the svn repository on your laptop.

but if you use multiple systems you aren't really a 1-person team, you just happen to be one person working in different places.

also the distributed nature of git will make doing (and maintaining) backups easier, as well as recovering from the inevitable cases where you do development seperatly on your different machines and then need to combine them.
