When crossing borders, I store all my data encrypted in the cloud and wipe the device. Many countries can request full access to your devices, and non-compliance can result in denied entry or possibly even arrest. Your devices may get confiscated. In Australia for example: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/jul/20/experts-question-australian-border-force-powers-to-seize-phones https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/jul/20/exper... From memory if they gain access to the data they retain it for something ridiculous like 15 years, and are exempt from all data protection/privacy laws. Even though the risk is small, having all my data leaked like this is unacceptable. Another rule is that if my devices are taken out of my sight, I won’t use them any more; I’ll sell them and buy new devices. You don’t know what exploits are out there and again it just isn’t worth the risk. I’d ask if you really need multiple laptops? You’re obviously concerned about this, so minimising your attack surface seems like something worth investigating.
