You can find refurbished Mac laptops that are only 1 generation old at a reasonable discount, and considering how long they last you'll still be in good shape. Imagine buying a 2004 BMW instead of a 2007 Kia.
Get the first generation Intel MacBook Pro 15". I found one for my mom that was around $1k. It had a good processor and more than enough ram. Don't get less than a 1.5 GHz processor and 1 GB ram. I'd never get less than 2 GB ram personally, but being a Mac guy I obviously love throwing money at my computer.
