Forensic experts now believe that Storey might have survived the crash if it wasn’t for her portable computer, which was sent flying by the force of the impact into the back of her head, hard enough to cause fatal blunt force trauma.

It's really not about laptops or computers at all, and until you have been through a near-fatal car accident, you really never think about what happens to objects that are not restrained.
Avoid having anything in the passenger compartment that can become a projectile in a crash.
I think one of the best filmed examples of this is the scene from "Fearless" where he has the lady sitting in the middle of the back seat, holding a tool box, then drives them into a brick wall at 60 miles an hour.

It's far worse risk for little kids that travel at the back of your car without the proper seat belts.
Not a good thing and still too frequent.
