There can be a bunch of reasons. One cause is that laptop screens vary wildly in their contrast and color profile. This can throw off the colors of the website, making them slightly darker than on a normal LCD. Another issue is that many laptops use lower resolutions on their displays than desktop LCDs. The most notable resolution difference is in the height, where it's rare to see a laptop have more than 820px for the height. This can have a profound impact on the website's positioning if the lower resolution isn't taken into account by the web designer/developer. A wide-screen display also has an impact on the positioning within a website if the site is coded using variable-positioning techniques and the wide-screen aspect ratio is not taken into consideration by the web designer/developer.
Also, you may not have installed some functionality on your laptop that the website needs in order to display a certain way (i.e. Java). There are many more reasons that can cause websites to display differently on laptops than they would on a desktop. However, those that I mentioned above are usually the most common.
