No, a laptop is not a "qualified education expense" as defined by the IRS. 

For more information about what does qualify, follow this link: Qualified Education Expenses

Yes I saw the link you cited but it reads "Books, supplies, and equipment, regardless of where purchased" wouldn't a laptop be considered equipment especially if being used for online coarse work?
