I want to transfer about 300 raw images that I have worked on in Lightroom from my desktop computer. I want to transfer these files to my laptop computer. I have given these 300 images five star ratings, as opposed to another 600 images in the same folder that I have not selected with a star rating. My goal is to transfer these five star images from my desktop to my laptop so I can use the images for digital slide presentations with my new Canon digital projector. I would sure appreciate any suggestions.

Wouldn't you use a Filter to select all the images you want, and export them to a folder you'd then take to the laptop?
Either as DNG or Original images to import into a catalog on your laptop, or as a catalog with negatives bundled so you can just open it up in LR with any collections/etc preserved.

reply to david.....I believe that rating the picture files with a 5 star rating is a type of filter. Is this true?

No, it isn't true.
Rating the picture is giving it an attribute, just as is tagging it red or setting a keyword. If you then ignore that attribute, you're not filtering. If you enable star-rating filtering, you're using it.

More explicitly:
At the bottom right of the screen (in the Filmstrip) is the filter, where you can restrict which photos are being shown (e.g. "= *****" will show only images with rating = 5*).
The system remembers the filter settings for each folder/collection, so you'll want to select the set of files before selecting the filter.
