Ebay maybe.  I just sold both my macbook airs since I wanted a bit more horsepower.  Both were 13", one was a 2011 model the other was a 2012.  I got just over 1200 for the two combine and that is because I gave the guy a break for buying both of them.   So getting one for Under $450 USD would be tough.   Ebay and craigslist would be your best bet but you would have to be watching for that great deal.  

Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly; the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly.

Hehe just want it as a 3 computer. Aint got a Mac, so want it in order to learn things about Mac OS. Ive got a cuple of Asus Ultrabooks that works great with Win10 beta and Linux Ubuntu.

Picking up a Mac mini would probably be the cheapest way to learn it on native, otherwise you can always hackintosh it.

Hackintosh is probably not the best way to learn OSX.   Too much work to get it to run right.  

Best? No. Cheapest? HELL YES

Buy a good computer and install Hackinstosh on it xD

 

Absolutely doubt you can get one half it's price, especially when Apple's involved.
