Use handler for startElement and endElement both of them. I suggest you use Stack as member of parser.

    private tagStack = new Stack();

    public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName,
    Attributes attributes) {
      ...
      else if (qName.equals("image")) {
        if ("thumb_image".equals(tagStack.peek())) {
          image = new Laptop();
          image.setImageURL(attributes.getValue("url"));
        }
      }
      // make sure it is at the end of method
      tagStack.push(qName);
    }

    public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName) {
      ...
      tagStack.pop();
    }

If you want only thumb image and nothing more nested, you may set bool in_thumb_image to true from startElement() and false from endElement() if it is qName=="thumb_image". Stack is more generic. For higher levels, you may use tagStack.search();

And off topic. XML is case sensitive, ignoreCase should not be used in my opinion.
