Refurbished MacBook Airs in Australia cost around $900, tbh $600 for a laptop here in Australia isn't much to spend. You just might have to get a second hand laptop or something. Is their any specific reason why you need an SSD?

I don't see why I need one but the school put it on the requirements

Honestly i won't stress to much about the SSD, a normal hard drive should work fine and i don't think you will be able to find a laptop with an SSD in your price range. I found this laptop that fits your price range just missing an SSD: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/computers-tablets/laptops/dell/dell-inspiron-x510401au-15-6-notebook/546916/

@Matt14520 @Fluxx

 

Those specs that your school told you are "required" or "suggested"? 8GB of RAM are not needed for schoolwork unless you do design work (do you?) EDIT: Oh wait is is 4, so nvm. An SSD is nice, but by all means not needed especially with Windows 8.1.

 

The Inspiron that Fluxx mentioned looks good, putting in an SSD wouldn't hurt, but is not really required... I personally am addicted to SSD performance, but that is no reason against traditional drives.
