Hi there I need some computer specs:

I need help finding a laptop with wifi for the purpose of web-surfing, checking email, and watching videos from the net. A dvd player would be a nice bonus. I only want to spend about $200. I know this will buy me only a refurb or used laptop.

What computer specs should I look for?

Netbooks are good for internet only stuff. We saw some at Staples for around $200. Netbooks DO NOT have DVD players though. Here's a video that explains the difference: YouTube - How to: Notebook vs Netbook

If you choose a laptop, you need one with a "wifi" or "802.11" card.

Ok, DH says he doesn't need a dvd drive. So what other specs should I be looking for? Like memory, processor, etc?
