Yes, adding more machines will help get more work done.

SETI@Home treats each computer on your account as a separate client. Having two laptops on a single account does not divide up any sort of total number of workunits allowed per account between the two laptops. In fact, the limit is per device, not per account.

Ergo, while my answer was not incredibly obvious, it was correct. Adding more machines to your account will help you get more work done.

Just remember rule #1:

Run SETI@home only on authorized computers

Run SETI@home only on computers that you own, or for which you have obtained the owner's permission. Some companies and schools have policies that prohibit using their computers for projects such as SETI@home.
