^^^ It does come with Wifi.

If it didn't, you could always buy a mini-pci wifi card and install it yourself - as they run about $20.

In case you didn't want the Vostro 1000 chassis, here are a few codes direct from their website:

However, I don't think you'll come anywhere near the $399 base Vostro 1000.
