I'd say give refurbished systems a good look. I just purchased a refurb desktop (Windows) with 128GB SDD, 2TB HD and 16GB RAM for under $400. I'd guess similar deals are out there for Apple. Just make sure there's a good return policy in case the refurb is flawed.
One thing I would also recommend is getting a big screen to go with your laptop. While you can develop on a tiny screen, you'll have less eye strain if you can use a 27" or so monitor when you aren't mobile.
