This is terribly good advice.
Any streetbike with a lot of suspension travel is going to be relatively tall.
Ride something--anything--for a season and you may just find that what you think you want now is not what you want later. And while you're scaling the (re)learning curve, dropping a used/cheaper bike won't produce the anguish that a scuffed up Ducati will...
I don't think I'd carry a laptop in/on a bike, either: Burnsie's courier bag suggestion is a pretty good one.
