Use the firmware .iso - https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/11.5.0+nonfree/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-11.5.0-amd64-netinst.iso
If the laptop is really new, do you need to keep whatever is on there already?
A VERY new laptop from the very latest ranges might need to be ruuning something later than Debian stable, but in general, that shouldn't be a problem.
All best, as ever,
