Looking to buy a Mac to learn Final Cut Pro

Pretty sure the only thing you're going to get for that price is one of the 13" Macbooks or something used. And doing video editing on a 13" screen is not even an option.

If you're set on an Apple (even though there are plenty of other options out there) then you will need to up your price range for anything good/decent.

I would suggest staying with a PC (or better yet, some distribution of Linux because everything is free) that is cheap and working with that. Once you have the money for a Mac then buy it then. Transition between programs later.
