I assume you want something like

rsync -av username@netbook:/home/username username@inspiron:/home/username

That will sync all between the two machines. Alternatively you could connect 
the external drive to your netbook and mount it under mount. Then assuming you 
have a folder on the external drive for transfering your user stuff you could 
do this:

>From the netbook:
rsync -av /home/username/ /mnt/userbackup/

Then connect the external drive to the inspiron and run:
rsync -av /mnt/userbackup/ /home/username/

Hope that helps!
