No, I think updatedb should stay disabled by default even if the laptop problem is solved, at least as long as slocate is a mandatory package in the Base comps group. Most users that run a "desktop" don't use locate, so running updatedb is just wasted. If slocate had to be manually selected for installation, it makes sense to enable it by default... but installing the package is a more complicated action than enabling updatedb if it is already installed.
