Accepted answer
There is no problem with putting electronics in your checked luggage. However:
There are typically limits on Lithium Batteries in checked baggage (e.g., a limit of 100 Wh capacity is common and the battery will need to stay attached to the device). Look this up on the website of your airline!
There is very limited (practical) liability by the airline in case your laptop breaks.
Your bag will be more likely to be subject to manual inspection if it has large quantities of electronics in them.
