I agree about the laptop price, but I think external monitors should only cost about $200 each, from a quick Google search. Seems like it should have been <$3K total.
This is an incredibly minor point, but I normally recommend monitors in the $300 to $500 range. And for some cases $1k to $2k is fine. (For bright displays, extra high resolution, any sort of media work, or widescreen.) I find the $200 ones to be pretty low-brightness / low-resolution / small.
