Paying for books and laptop with grandparent-owned 529 - is student reimbursement OK?

[BelknapPoint]

Assuming her grandparents continue to be the owners of the account (I posted a question about a possible ownership change here), is it acceptable for my daughter to buy her books using her own money and then receive a distribution from the 529 as reimbursement? (Obviously, she would keep records and would not receive an amount greater than her actual QEE expenditures.)

Also, do I understand correctly that laptop computers used for classwork are now included as qualified expenses?

Yes to both questions, as long as your daughter is the beneficiary of the 529 account, and the distributions from the 529 account take place in the same calendar year that the expenses were paid.
