So I purchased BGEE last night on my desktop computer, but I would like to be able to play on my laptop when I'm out of the house. Do I need to purchase the game again or can I sign in with my account and re download on my laptop?

    I can rephrase Obama here: yes you can. The Overhaul team answered to similar questions you may install the game on several machines using your own account. You can't go play multiplayer with several people sharing one account though, and while you may let someone try out the game with your account, if they like it, they should buy it for theirselves. But having your own game both on a laptop and a desktop is perfectly fine to them, or so they expressed. I have it on desktop and laptop as well.

    Awesome, I wish there was some sort of cloud support so I could play my saves a bit easier, I guess emailing save game files back and forth will do for now.

    Ok my next question I guess is: How do I transfer the saves to another computer? I'm on Windows 7 64-bit and I had heard that saves are located in a different folder from the game, but I have yet to find them.

    The save and mpsave folders are located in C:\Users\[username]\Documents\Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition

    I use dropbox to transfer saved files between my two computers. The save files are under "documents".

    And cloud support is in being added to the game some time next year :)
