Import Duty Exempted Items (Personal Use)
According to Indonesian Customs, personal goods of a value ≤ 250USD per person (or ≤ 1000USD per family) are exempt from import duty. Moreover, electronic items that are intended for personal use can be imported without paying duties as long as they are re-exported when leaving the country. Quoting from the linked website:
Shall I pay Import Duty for goods that I bring into Indonesia?
Passengers goods is exempted from Import Duty and other import levies, if the amount less than FOB USD 250 for each person or less than FOB USD 1,000 for each family If the amount is more than aforementioned amount, the passenger shall pay Import Duty and other import levies for the difference. Foreign passengers goods such as camera, video camera, radio cassette, binocular, laptop, or cellular phone, that will be used during stay in Indonesia and will be brought back when leaving for Indonesia also get the exemption.
Since you are planning to leave the laptop in Indonesia as a gift to your sibling, and since the value of the brand new item is > 250USD, you'll have to declare the latop to customs, and possibly pay import duty on it.
