Amazon has the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB Recording Audio Interface for $99 shipped (matched at Sweetwater for Black Friday). That's about $50 under the original listing, $1 under our previous mention and within $10 or matching the best pre-owned prices on Guitar Center.
With two high quality mic-pres (inputs) and 24-bit/96KHz sample rate, we are most certainly talking about a higher recording quality than your built-in option. It has a metal unibody design, is bus powered and will work with your Mac right out of the box with: "Ableton Live Lite, Scarlett Plug-in Suite (RTAS/AU/VST), Red 2 & Red 3 Plug-in Suite (AAX/AU/VST), Novation Bass Station, and 1GB of Loopmasters samples." It has a 4.4/5 star rating from over 600 Amazon customers.
