I'm looking at buying this Macbook: http://store.apple.com/nz/buy-mac/macbook/gold-256gb

I plan to get the processor upgrade... While I know I'd get better value with a laptop/PC I really want to buy a Mac. I've read the minimum requirements and the Macbook seems to meet it but I'm wondering what everyones thoughts are? Will this Macbook run the FFXIV client?
Mac Requirements are often the same as the PC requirements. Most laptops are NOT gaming capable, or at least not without severely crippling the experience.

Intel has a list of what "works" with it.

Note that Tera, ESO, and WoW are on that list. Those games are also much older. While that doesn't guarantee FFXIV will run good on it, chances are it will run respectably at some configuration.

The only model with a "real GPU" is the "MacBook Pro with Retina display 15.4'"
Intel Iris Pro Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2GB of GDDR5 memory ( NZ$3,899 model)
