Laptop through American customs?

I have a flight to Newark liberty this morning and I am debating on whether I should or shouldn't take my laptop? I have flown from Dublin the last few times and honestly the immigration officers are more lax there so I have taken my laptop through there. I'm not sure about taking my laptop through Newark, I have nothing illegal on my laptop but I am not fond of the idea of my laptop being searched. I am considering putting it in the suitcase but I don't know if that is a good idea. Will putting my laptop in the suitcase avoid it being searched? Will they search it at all or are they mainly interested in getting people through? I don't want any hassle, I want to get through immigration as quick as possible.
