The obvious question here is, does Mexico in fact levy import taxes on incoming personal laptops, or were the airport people collecting a bribe?


Iirc, you're entitled to bring in a single laptop, above that, import taxes may apply. The issue is that "personal laptop" is not really something the customs has evidence of. They just see someone with multiple laptops, which could represent intent to sell.
