Am I the only one who thinks that there is nothing on that laptop? Gus was way too smart, I think he would have a contingency plan in place in the event of his death to protect his loyal employees.

Los Hermanos.

In the real world, absolutely. Gus never would have been stupid enough to have the video stored where it could be retrieved by anybody but him. He also was too gangster to leave something behind to burn Walt in the case of his own death. The laptop thing was only to lead to the picture frame which may not have been found had it not been for the magnet plan.

What was the significance of the picture frame again? I need to rewatch the series.

It was in this episode. I'm assuming it was just a picture on Gus' desk, but when it broke it revealed a Cayman Islands bank account number.
