I don't know whether checking a laptop in is any safer than having it in the cabin. A fire onboard is bad either way - at least in the cabin it is likely to be noticed and hopefully extinguished.
I agree with this. A useable weapon in the cabin is obviously a bad thing but source of fire is bad everywhere on the aircraft.
