For a desktop this will probably work, but a laptop power supply will be
double insulated and consequently may have no earth anyway.
Have a look and see if there is even an earth wire in its plug.
So plugging the laptop into the mains will not be earthing the internals of
the laptop.
The important thing (which you have done) is connecting yourself to the
laptop.
