Comment on Can I pack a couple of laptops in checked baggage from Melbourne Airport?

Ignoring the lithium battery issue, and the actual regulations, consider that the checked in baggage will be treated with the same level of care that routinely destroys guitars and suitcases. Maybe you dont want to have your laptops dropped on the tarmac.
Also check with your work, you may have rules that prevent you putting work laptops in checked luggage, as its easiest for them to be stolen from there (or if your really paranoid, easiest for malware to be installed without your knowledge)

I’m not concerned about handling as it’ll be the original packaging and my work is my own business. So again, no qualms about it being lost. As I have enough security on it (FileVault, BitLocker, etc). So all security concerns can be considered non-issues.
