On many laptops, the shell of a DB-series connector is bonded to the 
chassis. That's what I've used.  I solder a short wire to a small lug 
that can fit under the retaining screw, and connect the wire to a single 
Power Pole. I do my in-shack bonding with single Power Pole jumpers made 
from either stranded #12 or braid stripped from transmitting coax, with 
heat shrink as a jacket.
