Re: "Bored of laptops?"
"Bored of" is a neologism, but now in common usage, and generally perfectly acceptable.
Here's a five-year old grammar blog discussing the usage (and how it has changed from five years prior to that):

It's probably fair to assume that "bored of" could well have taken over from "bored with" by now.
There is no confusion of meaning when using it, so go ahead, I say! The preposition is largely moot, you could say "bored of", "bored with", "bored from", "bored by", "bored at", and probably several others, and still be understood (and be syntactically sound, unlike the uterrings of the real grammar criminals who say "should of" rather than "should have").
Language evolves, or we'd all be speaking Middle English like Chaucer.
