You can use an external keyboard on a laptop, so even if it's possible to
detect whether a laptop is being used, it's hard to know what kind of keyboard
layout is in operation.

Perhaps a better solution would be a key combination that can be used in
either desktop or laptop mode to switch the layout setting in Orca. You could
then switch to laptop layout without having to use the Orca configuration
dialogue.
