It sounds possible, if the filesystem used for the repo is common and supported by both the clients. Why not just try it out and see if it works? If you can copy the repo to your laptop and check out from it using Tortoise no problem, then I believe it should work.
Otherwise if you use back the original method, when you are done with your laptop you will have to check out the latest copy from both repos, then merge the laptop's copy into the server copy and commit it to the server. You will lose all the intermediate revisions with this method though.
