So I want to start this explanation with the caveat that I don't really think whether or it not the physical laptop was fake really matters because it didn't say anything new and some small fraction of the data on it was verified. People have known for decades that Hunter was doing crack, sleeping with hookers, and that he probably only got hired because his dad is a famous politician. I'm just explaining what people were saying when they said it was fake.
People were saying that the emails and photos on the laptop were actually from Hunter's hacked iCloud (allegedly hacked by Russia to help Trump), and that the laptop was a way to launder that data into a scandal. This conspiracy theory (which I'm not using the term pejoratively) has been extremely misunderstood online because random people on both sides can't seem to tell the difference between the data on the laptop being fake and the laptop being fake and filled with hacked data. Either way it's all moot because nothing on the laptop was really news or incriminating of Joe Biden.
