If finding the IP address is enough, seems you could program the
laptop to send a UDP datagram to your static IP periodically, saying
"my current IP is <whatever>".  No need for dyndns.

If beyond this you want it to not be blabbing /unless/ it's been
stolen, a simple software dead-man switch might be used.
