Alternate thought -
Here in New Zealand there are some good options for 'ex-lease refurbished' gear, and consumer guarantee act still applies, so you still have a right of return if it goes faulty. Lots of good priced laptops, typically 30-60% less than retail. My laptop is a refurb, now over 5 years old and I haven't had any problems with it. I paid a huge $150 US (equiv.) for it. (yes, it's about time to upgrade....). Maybe you get the odd scratch and wear mark, but so what ??
Don't know if this applies in USA, but thought I would mention it. Good way to save your money and/or get more power for your budget.
