Look for one that will do what you want to do (wireless) with a cd/dvd combo drive (you will want to be able to write to it) and as much RAM as you can afford (256 is ok but 512 is better!) I have seen ads from CompUSA, Office Max and Office Depot that meet your price limit (though some may have rebates involved to reach it). I have even seen one at Sams Club that meets your price limit. Start shopping, google is your friend for things like this.
