I'm amused that the average reward for tablets is higher than phones, and the average reward for phones is higher than laptops.

  Phone $100-200
  Keys $40-100
  Wallet $40-100
  Tablet $200-500
  Laptop $40-100

Laptop being the lowest makes sense from a business perspective. The cost of returning a laptop is much larger than a phone.

How does that justify a lower reward price even from a business perspective?

Probably because people are paying more for not having to deal with restoring their stuff.

Maybe it's much harder to get a new phone to be like your original, so you'd rather pay more to get it back as is.

On the other hand, maybe, getting a new laptop is more desirable than getting an old one back (if you have backups or don't care about what you had).

any of those numbers is way too high
