What model of laptop? Should at the very least have a 3.5mm stereo jack. Probably on the sides with your USB ports, or more rarely on the front.
S-Video will work and can be slightly better than VGA, but not by a huge margin. Google/Wikipedia will give you a more definitive answer on that. The biggest thing is there are 2 or 3 types of S-video. 4, 7 and I think maybe a 9 pin. You still would need to have an audio cable, unless you wanted to use your laptop audio.
If you have the same type on both your TV and your Laptop then you are golden. IIRC converting from one type to another is a bit of a PITA.
