????????? What the hell? NASA flies laptops regularly. No changes other than voltage conversion and beefing up the fans (no gravity = no convection cooling). The only depressurized component in an LCD panel is the fluorescent bulb and there's no way in hell that you can blow it up with vacuum. Overpressure maybe, but them you'll probably kill the operator first by O2 toxicity. Glass cockpits are the standard these days. People travel with laptops and so far no claims of dead screens...
