software I already have or have to purchase somehting different. Can I
redo the Outlook file path to a My Documents folder - that would be
synced with the Maxtor hard drive.

This is done easily. With Outlook closed, just move the PST, then restart
Outlook. It will complain that it can't find its folders and give you a
browse window, where you can browse to My Documents, select the PST, and
click OK.

Can I then just sync the laptop to
those files - point the laptop Outlook to the same new pathway and
bring up the updated version of outlook?

The drawback to this is that Outlook's PST cannot be copied while it is
open. There are data structures in it that do no get properly written to
the file until it is closed. Unwritten, those data structures can lead to
PST corruption. If youre One Touch mirrors the file as it changes while
Outlook is open, then the copy is likely to be internally inconsistent.
