I'm thinking they are hoping to find exploits that the security researcher(s) are working on, and may not be known to others (use a 0-day to steal other 0-days)

I'm thinking they are hoping to find exploits that the security researcher(s) are working on, and may not be known to others (use a 0-day to steal other 0-days).
I'd presume that a decent security researcher's laptop would have much more valuable things on it, compared to Bob the Waiter's laptop.
Educated guess. Grain of salt, etc...
