Since Kinect was first revealed, one potential use outlines has always been to direct presentations through voice and gesture, which could certainly be made to work using a Kinect enabled laptop. Hmm, actually just about any usage where the laptop was connected to a projector or large screen TV could be dramatically impacted by kinect sensors as a control mechanism.
In general, I don't see it adding much to what's currently normal use for a Laptop, except perhaps enhanced Voice recognition and more options for using facial recognition software. The key question of weather or not Kinect on a laptop takes off is what sort of software can be made to take advantage of the extra features it offers.
