If you’re on a budget, I would suggest Mac of All Trades and Discount Electronics. They have refurbished apple products at discounted prices. Discoune Electronics also has Windows computers. Source: over 1 year ago
One last note, I bought a MacBook Air from 2015 last year on clearance for $195 from this place. The battery is great and the only issue it had was some dings and a USB port working intermittently. Otherwise it does absolutely everything I need and is a delight to use. Buy yourself something used -- certified/refurbished, if you can -- and you'll eventually be in a position to buy yourself exactly what you want or... Source: almost 2 years ago

My needs would be to use iMovie and maybe eventually get into final cut. I also want to tinker with garageband and then also need the dev environment as I would like to learn swift. Part of me likes to think that the 2x xeon westmere processors are still... Source: almost 3 years ago
There are some reputable online sellers of used Macs online. If you're uncomfortable in the used market with a local transaction (I avoid these, myself -- just messier and riskier), then look at the used gear on macsales.com (OWC), macofalltrades.com, or eBay seller quality-macs (will pay a premium there, but their gear is all near mint condition).
