This is very out of topic (maybe?), but if you need a mac without "internal" screen, the prices are mini:$600, air:$1000 and mbp: $1600.
So the screen you won't use will cost $400 or $1000.
One more thing: you can upgrade 3rd party ssd, so with apple's price for 256GB upgrade, you get 6 times of that space.
