I purchased a laptop in Dec. 2023. Because of winter holidays and a shipping delay the laptop arrived January 5, 2024. Can i still claim this as a deduction in 2023?

No, when you claim a deduction for something like a laptop that you use for your business, you have to claim the deduction on the date you started using the item. Since you didn't even get it until 2024, you can't deduct it for 2023.
