Guy,
Using a computer, that's setup as a domain member, in a workgroup can present
several issues.
# Grouping of computers in a domain or workgroup.
# Resolution How do I address each resource?
# Browsing What resources are there for me to access?
# Authentication / Authorisation Who am I, and should I be allowed to access a
resource?

The bottom line - you can use your laptop on your workgroup, without changing
the laptop. Read the above article for details.
