I need a computer for college and to hold my artwork and programs on (sai, toon boom, gimp, etc). I want something with a dvd player, that's the only thing stopping me from getting chrome books. They have no players or buttons on the touch pad.
SN: I don't want any netbooks, but a laptop
$300 plus tax. - A disappointing A8-6410 is below an i3-4010U in performance and below its HD 4400 as well, but is at your top and was good enough a year ago for me to get the Toshiba branded equivalent

I don't see core i3 in 5th or 6th generation with dvdrw at 300 or below.
Look locally for an open box or sale
Your price point is below 'good" laptop by a little bit. Not going to happen. There are none.
