I have Minecraft running on 2 computers (office and home)
The home computer - a laptop - has an unreliable and slow internet connection. Getting 1.3.1 and a couple mods was painful, and took several goes. Office internet works fine. (Guess where I am now)
What is the best way to upgrade my laptop from 1.3.2 to 1.4.whatever, and upgrade mods, etc, without hurting my existing worlds?
Can I transfer files onto a flash drive and overwrite those on the laptop? Is this going to be a long involved process so that I won't want to do this for every update?

Seems to me you answered your own question , If you download the mod files onto a anther computer you can copy them to a flash drive and bring them over to your computer/laptop not a problem. You can also do this with minecraft it self, Basically all you do is go into .minecraft look for the folder called bin then you can replace the minecraft.jar file with the new version.I recommend naming the old minecraft.jar like minecraft125.jar so you know what version it is so you can go back to it if for some reason something doesn't work. Keep in mind you have to re-mod everything and depending on the mod as well you may have to replace some blocks.
Ah, thanks guys. Is this why people stick to just a few mods? I've gotten a bit mod-happy lately. I think I need to stick with 3 or 4 reliable necessary mods. ....less updating, more playing.

aslong as both computer have the same mods and the configs are all the same you'll be fine.
I think a better solution would be to get multimc, if you put it on a memory stick it will put the save on the stick too, this way you will always be playing using the same map and same .minecraft folder, ignoring the .minecraft folder on the pc itself.
I am in the process now of loading updates of mods etc onto my office computer, so it is the same configuration as my home 'puter. Then all I'll have to worry about is the worlds. (I don't play in the office, I just download, and test/evaluate) ...looking at multimc too.
Cheers you guys - thanks.
