Question Used Laptops?

I've never had a laptop but I need to get one for school. I just need a simple laptop that can run MS Office has a CD(RW) or DVD player/burner and doesnt take forever to boot up. What type and specification do you recommend and how much for a used on?
Also if i was to get one is it possible to use a router to link it to me internet at home?(forgive the ignorance if this is not possible have no experience with these routers). I heard that for what im looking for i can get for about 600? Thanks

As soon as you said DVD/CD-RW $600 became a pipe dream...

Router is cheap...

You need more than one port correct...

Or do you have a hub already...
