Even flying from the UK, they have reverted to the old rules for laptops:

2280.hcsp

...

Each passenger is permitted to carry ONE item of cabin baggage through the
airport security search point. The dimensions of this item must not exceed:
a maximum length of 45 cm, width of 35 cm and depth of 16 cm (17.7"×13.7"
×6.2"
approx) (including wheels, handles, side pockets etc.). Other bags, such as
handbags, may be carried within the single item of cabin baggage. All items
carried by passengers will be x-ray screened.

...

All laptops and large electrical items (e.g. large hairdryer) must be remov
ed
from the bag and placed in a tray so that such items neither obscure nor ar
e
obscured by the bag.
