The laptop computer is 1/30 of a car in terms of relative price. Since the absolute price of the car is $30,000, we can find the absolute price of the laptop by multiplying the relative price of 1/30 by $30,000. This gives us $1,000 as the absolute price of the laptop. Therefore, the correct answer is choice B.
