How about the NY Times? https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/16/us/politics/hunter-biden-...

> Those emails were obtained by The New York Times from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop.

Either the NY Times is a "right-wing blog spreading Russian propaganda" or the fact that they based this story on the contents of the laptop is a tacit admission that it's authentic.

The NYT is pretty unambiguous that the laptop is disinformation:

> Russian intelligence officers were using Mr. Giuliani, who provided the hard drive copy to the tabloid, as a conduit for disinformation aimed at undermining Mr. Biden’s presidential run.

I don't see that quote in the article I linked. Perhaps you got it from an older one, where they were still pretending it wasn't authentic?
