Saves are stored in "C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\FalloutNV\Saves".

Just transfer saves from that folder to the same folder on the other PC through LAN or whatever. Make sure you launch the game on the laptop, as these folders are often created the first time you launch a game.

Okay, so i can use for example an USB-drive, to transfer the files?

If they're small enough in size then yes, you can transfer them via email. Be sure to zip the directory.

My saves folder is empty but I have like 10 saves in my game.

You're probably using Steam cloud for the saves. That wasn't an option for FNV back when this thread was made. Cloud saves are usually also stored locally in the Steam/userdata folder.

I found it in a very strangely placed folder but I can see them.
So now I'll just copy one from my second computer and propaly send them by e-mail becasue cloud syncs your saves for a computer not for a person.

No, the whole point of Cloud is that it saves the files for your account, so you can use them at any computer you log on.

I played Fallout yesterday for like 3 hours, saved it of course and synced it. It said I have 55 mb of data on the cloud. Now on my laptop it says I have 54,63 mb. When I turn on cloud before it launches the game on my laptop it says that my saves are outdated and I have saves from 3rd September on my laptop and on my cloud there are saves from 8th. But I should have synced saves from yesterday.

[talgaby]

Well, we didn't say Cloud is good or working, just that it should save files and download them up-to-date.
In reality, I usually advise people to turn Cloud off and just keep a shadow copy of their Documents folder, maybe on an USB stick.
