First, make a list of why you need a laptop (ie. for school, writing essays, etc.) and show it to them.

Second, try and find a laptop that you like, and isn't too expensive. Then show the laptop to them.

Third, don't hurry them. Let them think about it for a day or two (depending on how busy they are). Every once in a while, ask them about what they think, but don't do it too often, you don't want to seem needy or over-demanding (even if you are planning on buying it yourself).

Fourth, try and ask why they don't want you to have a laptop. If they give you a reason that you can counter, don't just throw the answer in their face. Talk it over, and discuss them together.

Fifth, try looking online for the laptop you want (eg. Ebay). You may be able to find it for cheaper anyway!

Also, tell them that you won't become addicted to the computer. And if they do let you get one, make sure that you follow up on this, or they may just take it away! And remember, if they don't want you to have a laptop, maybe they have a good reason, so make sure that you ask them why.

Good luck!
