no. Laptop HD are more or less just smaller desktop HD.

At least hdparm -qc1qu1qd1 should be ok. -m? -B ? should be tested, but could 
help.

root@t40:~# hdparm -tT /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
 Timing buffer-cache reads:   1372 MB in  2.00 seconds = 684.73 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:   74 MB in  3.04 seconds =  24.38 MB/sec

IBM T40p, 40GB 5400 rpm.
