What's that?

the nice version is...Couchant (Old French: couchant, "lying down") refers to the attitude where the beast lies on all fours with the head erect.

The nasty version is "The lazy t***s napping again"

Im more "Beast Dormant"

Come on, brush up on your Heraldry

Ok back to boring stuff. Need a laptop. Don't want to spend a fortune and it don't need to do tricks. A basic laptop that will let me use my computer stick thingy in it and in case I get bored I need to be able to browse the web. Thought about the ones in Tesco for about £250/300 does anybody know if these are any good or if not which ones are

I think with the likes of Ebay I need to know what I'm looking for regarding it's abilities and I haven't a clue. To be honest I am looking for the easiest option and the quickest :D

You will have to charge it and depending on the usage it should last for around 2 to 3 hours always take the mains cable with you though and plug it in when there is a mains socket available
