The best way to copy whole partition is when it is offline (not used)
Boot both laptops from live-cd's (for example knoppix) and do like
described in this article
dd if=/dev/hda1|nc 192.168.1.1 2222 - on sending laptop
nc -l -p 2222|dd of=/dev/hda1 - on receiving one

Anybody played with dd / cat speed.

which count and bs parameters should be the best ?

We currently do:
cat /dev/hda | nc ....
