laptop wanted for under 400

[real1956]

I am looking for a laptop for under 400 that has wireless built in and a dvd/ cd burner. Ther was one advertised at best buy but when i called they had sold out! Will I have to wait for Black FRiday? I hope to get one before that as I want it for my son's birthday this month! Thank you.

CompUSA had a Toshiba Dual Core with DVD Burner for $499 two weeks ago but it sold out the same day.

 

Outpost.com had a laptop for $499 but I just noticed the price has gone up to $699

Am looking for a laptop under 500- but not sure if there's an advantage of dual core over single core. Can someone advise me? Also is one brand better than another? Thanks for input! C.
