A DID can be assigned to any non-fungible entity (aka a unique, non-interchangeable thing). For example, the Sovrin Governance Framework supports this through the Controller concept; more specifically, a Thing Controller. Controller An Identity Owner that is responsible for control of another Entity—specifically the Private Keys needed to take actions on behalf of that Entity. For example, a Thing Controller has a Controller relationship with a Thing. It is one of three types of identity control relationships described in Appendix C.

"In a decentralized identity system, entities (in the sense of discrete identifiable units such as — but not limited to — people, organizations, and things) are free to use any shared root of trust." To me it seems weird that a laptop can be a DID subject, as it is not free to do anything much less share a root of trust. I don't believe DIDs are intended to capture ownership information.
