So basically I am doing this:
Laptop::create([ 'user_id' => 1, 'name' => $request->name, 'brand' => $request->brand, 'SN' => $request->SN, 'price' => $request->price ]);
How do I save the ID of the newly created resource? Since the ID field is auto incrementing I don’t need to insert it manually. If for example the ID is 47, I need to be able to store the ID locally for use. Like store it in a variable named $ID
This is so I can create meta rows which contain information on the Laptop like Laptop parts. They all need a parent_id which would be the $ID

Answer
$id = Laptop::lastInsertId();
or
$id = Laptop::create([ 'user_id' => 1, 'name' => $request->name, 'brand' => $request->brand, 'SN' => $request->SN, 'price' => $request->price ])->id;
