Laptop in cargo hold insurance coverage [duplicate]

I will be travelling from Belgrade in Serbia to London UK in a few weeks. There is a stopover at Instanbul in Turkey.

Given the recent laptop travel ban, I probably be required to put my laptop in cargo. I am wondering whether anyone knows if it is possible to insure the laptop against damage or theft while on the cargo of the plane.

There is an alternative option. According to comments on FlyerTalk, you can hand your laptop to Turkish at your gate in Istanbul and they were put it in special suitcases designed to protect such devices in the hold. You collect next to baggage reclaim at your destination. However, enough people now do this that you have to queue to deposit devices.
