Can I Put Laptop In Checked Baggage. Please see TSA Pre for more information. Depends how well backed up your back up laptop is but I would not put any laptops in checked luggage and my employer wouldnt have alllowed me to anyway.

Can I put my laptop in checked baggage. Small lightweight devices must be held in the passengers hands placed in the seat back pocket or stowed. For more prohibited items please go to the What Can I.
Also your device is more prone to hacking and other security issues when its not in your possession.
Make sure to take out the laptops from your bag and place it in a separate bin for X-ray screening. However because a fire on a flying plane can have disastrous results most airlines are not willing to take the risk. I plan to pack my work and backup laptop in my checked baggage and carry my personal laptop. Carrying it with you is recommended baggage handlers arent known for their delicacy when slinging luggage between the tarmac and the terminal.
