Hello Joe,
Congratulations on your new iPhone 5!  If you do not have a working USB connection on your laptop, you can use iCloud to transfer contacts from your computer to your iPhone:
You can create and edit your contacts by using the Contacts app on iCloud.com from a Mac or Windows web browser. Changes you make are automatically pushed to your iOS devices and computers where you set up iCloud for Contacts. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, changes are pushed to the Contacts app. On your Mac, changes are pushed to Contacts (or Address Book in OS X v10.7.5), and on your Windows computer, changes are pushed to Microsoft Outlook. No matter which device you use to edit your contacts, the changes are updated everywhere, so you never have to connect your iOS device to your computer to keep your contacts current.
Access iCloud Contacts from a web browser
Go to icloud.com/#contacts and sign in using your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).
You can find more information about iCloud and Contacts at the following help article:
