Question

In small claims court, can I use my laptop or iPad to show pertinent documents, or do I need physical copies of the documents?

Answer

You should bring physical copies with you. Small claims court is more relaxed than the standard procedural rules but you don't want to get there and find out the judge will only look at hard copies.
