As per title, would like to ask the sifus here if anyone knows of some kind of travel insurance for laptops.

Basically, my work involves travelling around Malaysia with a crate of laptops to run computer literacy workshops for needy communities. We will be travelling to East Malaysia by plane often, and would like to have our laptops insured as we are afraid that the laptops might be stolen, or go missing during transit. And also even for coverage when we do our workshops (rural and interiors areas in Sarawak).

Anyone can advice me on this? Thank you so much

That wouldn't fall under Travel Insurance, for Laptops/mobile phones/DSLRs/etc you'll need to buy All Risk Insurance which covers burglary/theft.
But take note you won't easily find Insurance companies willing to accept your risk (especially when you're taking a big number of laptops for business usage overseas) unless the rest of your business/personal insurance is also taken through them. It'll be also easier to go through an Insurance Agent as they have more leverage and connections to get risks accepted.
