The 2007 Macbooks are sadly nearing the end of their life. They can only run up to 10.7 and are limited by their underpowered Intell GMA GPUs. The 2007 iMacs are still fairly able and can run 10.10 well. They aren't overly good for modern games or intense computational tasks, but they do work well and are cheap. If you do want one, I'd suggest a 2007 iMac. They still have a few years of life left in them.

The Intel GMA integrated graphics is what kills them. The iMacs are well worth the money so long as they are a decent aluminum one.

Is there any reason you wouldn't want to go for a Mac Mini other than it not including the screen? You could find a more recent model of those for a nice price.

You can get a Macbook 7,1 for $300-450 on ebay. Put 4-8GB of memory and an SSD in it and it should last at least 4 years barring accidents.
