In this real world, we still have numerous reasons to use centuries-old technology, right? We still use AM radio from time to time, sewing machines are still in use, we still have a use for washing machines, etc.
The key here is for the laptop to fulfill a niche the chip in his arm doesn't. Maybe his chip doesn't store files as readable .docs or .exes, only a bunch of easily-garbled neural information that can't be read by other systems.
Maybe laptops are the only way to make easily-transferable information. After all, anything that's using the brain as wetware will be difficult to interpret by anyone that isn't the brain of origin, right?

I wrote this paragraph with my character pulling out a laptop, when he literally has a computer Chipped into his Arm???
I don't know how to re-write this without changing half of my story's technology. Can I get some pointers on how to change it?
For clarification, I am not asking you to fix it, just asking for pointers
(I re-wrote the whole paragraph and used the suggestions you guys gave me, this is the improved result.)
