No! That's not okay. You cannot put laptop into checked bags. Don't do it. Do not put laptop into checked bags. They will steals it. You must take laptop into the cabin aircraft. Only you take laptop in the cabin aircraft.

I am travelling Emirates once more soon from the Americas to Asia and will carry a laptop in my checked luggage only if that is allowed. Otherwise will give it a skip. (Each trip to Asia I take a laptop donated by somebody and give it to a school for poor kids who have no computer at all, have only heard of the internet, and a laptop, even an outdated one, is for these kids something precious and a window to the world). If anybody has any info. about the latest rules I would appreciate it. Thank you.
