>> Save at least 1000 bucks in case something big like your laptop breaks.

Perhaps buy a $400 used laptop instead

Really depends on what you need of course. My laptops always died of hardware failure/milage (while the desktops kept working) after 4-5 years and on the 2nd or 3rd battery (daily commute with a laptop does lower the life-time considerably I think).
