Laptop in checked baggage

Laptop in checked baggage - Positive woman with passport using laptop on luggage in airport

In April I'll be taking a domestic trip from where I live in Vancouver to Toronto via Air Canada. While in Toronto I'm probably going to be purchasing a new laptop at one of the stores there.

I'll also be bringing my current laptop in my backpack as carry on luggage.

Obviously for the flight back I'm going to have 2 laptops. They could both fit in my backpack but it would be somewhat heavy and inconvenient.

Am I able to put one of the laptops in my checked luggage?

I asked a relative who travels a lot and he said probably not because of the lithium ion battery in the laptop, but when I looked it up I found conflicting information.
