I would be concerned that the plug sticking out would get knocked and snap off or damage the usb port if i were moving it around a lot.
I know they aren't common anymore but could you use a serial port with a serial to usb adaptor that way you can use the two screw that hold the serial plug in to secure the connection at the laptop end.
