If your laptop has standard-conforming usb-ports, they will provide the power
needed (and spec'ed in the standard).
Actually most laptops tend to supply more then the max of the spec. The reason
behind this is that many external hdds need more then standard power and thus
use two connectors. But on laptops both of these would be on the same power-
supply anyway and physical ports are notoriously short. So they provide more
power and make most hdds happy when connected with just one connector.
Have fun,
