I am way more concerned about the registration fees, hotel prices and
airline tickets in the context of the cheapest, but nevertheless
modern laptops being available for around $400 and even lower when one
does a bit of an effort to find a good deal. 

Eg. even if one buys a laptop just for IETF attendance, it is not
inconceivable that this will cost you $65 per meeting if the laptop
last for just 2 years.
