Obviously it depends on what you buy. If you buy a low end desktop, then yes, those are easily obtainable for under $1000. If you buy a high end laptop like I did (and it was a Dell, BTW) it's not that difficult to get the cost up around $3000. I prefer laptops, they will be convenient when/if I need to travel and give presentations for work, and I don't buy low end models because I want to be able to do work on it and that can be computationally intensive stuff. So yes, it does cost me a few thousand dollars for a new computer.
