I think you're right. At Yahoo the hits are: 118 for "want to play on my laptop" 19 for "want to play with my laptop" (with is normally used when playing with toys ) 0 for "want to play at my laptop" (which I expected to be much stronger)

It's what my kids say.
Play with it somehow means that they want to change the settings, etc. Play on it means they want to use it for games, etc.
