I have a Dell Inspiron 15R I bought for $540 dollars in 2010 and I love it, and I use it as I type in this post 
. By no means should you get a Mac, IMO. Graphics really don't matter unless you're doing stuff in Photoshop, After Effects or Blender. Go with a laptop that has an AMD A series (nothing below the A4) with Radeon Graphics if you want a little edge in the graphic world, or get a laptop with the Core i3, i5, i7, or the Core 2 Duo/Quad or Pentium CPU's. All good, won't burst your budget but will give you a good bang for your buck

That's the first time I've ever heard that....
Why wouldn't you want an i3 or i5. Get something with an i3 at least for that extra bit of power. You'd notice the difference in performance, I've recently acquired a laptop with a Core 2 Duo and the speed is quite alright but my current laptop with an i3 is better whereas my old laptop with an AMD E2 was soo slow and wouldn't handle DJ work..

128 GB SSD means you only have 128 GB of space on it! And I would recommend something other than Mac
Both the ones I suggested have Windows 7 Professional/Home Premium installed and would be way better than a Macbook..

These have been refurbished by Newegg and had Windows 7 reinstalled on them but you can still buy copies of it.
That's cutting it WAY too close. And if you get a Refurbished or a Used laptop, or maybe a NEW one you can get Win 7 on it. If Win 8 is your only option, you can download a skin that makes Win 8 the same as Win 7!
