Most airlines have policies that don't allow devices with lithium batteries to be carried in checked luggage.

Here's Delta, for example:

I'm not sure why you'd want to risk your laptop in checked luggage anyway; bags are often dropped or thrown about and it is not a good idea to put delicate items in checked luggage! There certainly is no guarantee that, at every stage of the baggage handling process, your bag would be handled in a manner appropriate for such a fragile device.
