If the majority of items that you will be connecting and disconnecting use a USB connection, you can consider using a USB hub. This will allow you to unplug one item while the 4 or so items are still connected to the hub.

One thing to consider about using a laptop, are all the things you may want to connect to it. Unless you are very good at replugging all those things in, it will remain on your desk. I had thought the way to go, was to have a docking station, into which all my add ons could be plugged, so that my laptop could access them, while it was connected and yet be able to get up and go. The problem with that, was when I wanted to upgrade to a new laptop, it would not be able to use the same docking station. I was going to half to up grade it as well, even though I was sticking with the same brand and that added considerably to the cost.
