Yes. Not sure if you have ever worked in cyber for law enforcement but that is what they would determine if the data has been manipulated. Anything that is questionable would be kicked out and anything that can’t be disputed would stay.
The real question is there anything criminal on the laptop? That is up for debate.

In April 2019, someone dropped off three water-damaged laptops with him for repair, Mac Isaac claimed. He couldn’t say for sure who dropped them off, because he is legally blind, but he said the person identified himself as Hunter Biden…
No one ever returned to pick up the laptops, so Mac Isaac (an enthusiastic Trump supporter) started looking at what’s on one of them. He saw what he thought was lots of scandalous material…
per the New York Times, one reporter refused to put his name on the story due to credibility concerns…
Even though the story of the abandoned laptop is bizarre, speculation that there’s more to it remains just speculation.
There were two supposed “smoking guns” about Joe Biden that conservatives touted in the materials. The first was an email the Post called a “blockbuster,” in which an executive at the Ukrainian gas company Burisma thanked Hunter for the “opportunity to meet your father” in 2015. … This appears to amount to Vice President Biden seemingly going to one dinner.
The second involved a business venture that Hunter tried to set up with a Chinese energy tycoon in 2017 (after Joe Biden was no longer vice president)…
So this amounts to Joe Biden apparently refusing some deal Hunter tried to enmesh him in. An alternative possibility is that Joe was not actually ever involved and that Hunter had just been throwing his name around.
All of this was indeed covered in the press in October 2020… So the real objection from conservatives is that they didn’t get the narrative they liked out of the mainstream media.
