I am a Rideshare driver. At least 80% of my laptop use is business related (tracking expenses, income etc). Can I deduct 80% of my laptop purchase price this year?

Yes, you can deduct the 80% of the laptop's cost as long as your "business expenses must be necessary, customary, and reasonable, according to the IRS". That means that you have to have a business use for your computer.
