Any resources you know with regards to remotely reading data from arduino?
You can use the Bluetooth on the board, a Bluetooth dongle for your laptop if the laptop does not have bluetooth or you can buy a wifi shield.

The 101 has Bluetooth LE on the board.

You will find there is a Bluetooth -> Serial USB software, so the application on the laptop can still work the same way as when using the usb.

Here are the Bluetooth examples for the 101 on arduino.cc
