This situation falls under the provision liability of minor in case of torts(civil wrong). In the given case, the shopkeeper can recover the laptop from the minor as minor cannot be help personally responsible.

Sir what if the minor is not having a laptop.. I mean taking some other perishable goods incase of laptop, if the minor selles the good, makes profit and enjoys the whole amount is he liable to pay?
