I've done similar calculations quite a few times, but I'll briefly repeat it:

I'm on the way to the cinema (The great Gatsby) now.
The ticket was € 11. With a coke and Nachos, I'll end up around € 20.
€ 20 for 2.5 hours = € 8 per hour.

Now for comparison:

My Google Chromebook Pixel with 32GB after customs and such will be ca. € 950.
I'll use it ca. 18 months, at least 2 hours per day. That's ca. 1000 hours of usage. So I end up with slightly above € 1 per hour, after buying some software.
That's way cheaper than cinema.
Drastically cheaper than vacation.
Enormously cheaper than going to a restaurant.

Meaning:
Yes, no one will shell out € 1000 spontaneously without thinking about it.
But, given the amount of time you'll spend using it, it's one of the cheaper hobbies available.
