An entry level laptop pays for itself if you use it to get textbooks for free after a certain amount of time. The question is can you do it legally? Probably not. So where is the cost savings supposed to be?

most schools offer textbooks digitally anyways. I never once was reprimanded for using pirated textbooks. If anything, teachers are just happy to know a student cares enough to learn. It’s really the crooked publishers that are far to greedy to serve any educational purpose that profit from copyright enforcement.
