If I buy it for the PC and I install it on my laptop and my regular computer, will both be able to play the game online at the same time?

No. Steam doesn't allow multiple copies of the game to be run on the same account at the same time... as far as I know.

yes. just not at the same time and on the same account name.

No, you can't valve will not allow you to use your account name on 2 computer, they will suspend/ban you, not worth it.

You can play the first 1/3 level of portal and Half life 2: Death match for free (with another username) if you got an nvidia video card.

Hmm...Thanks. I guess I'll just install it on both computers and we'll play at different times.

If you were to start up Steam in Offline Mode on one computer, then yeah, you could get away with playing Portal on that one, and then TF2 online on the other.

You can't register the same key with more than one account. That would be an open invitation to piracy.
