Step 2

Open "the laptop" image, use pen tool to outline the laptop, then load this path as a selection. Create a new document (size doesn't really matter, I chose 800x600px) and save it as "laptop". Use The move tool to drag the selected laptop to the new document, this will create a new layer. Name it "laptop". You may have to resize the laptop to fix the new document.

Use the motion blur filter to create some light beams and use the black and white adjustment tool to change the lighting density a bit. Change this smoke layer blending option to "screen".
