  1. well if the connection is wireless then regardless if the amount of computers connecting to it it wont cost any extra you should prolly get a case and a mouse for it and also, dont put it on like couches or beds cause then the fan on the bottom suffocates and itll heat up too much, and it might run slower or burn out or start a fire
  2. when you pay for internet you pay for a residential use . which means you can have as much computers in your house if you are not making a profit.. so since you want to spilt your connection the easiest thing is to buy a router and plug it into the source and into the second comp if it is a desktop or if it is a laptop u cld use it using wifi signals produced with the router .... so buy the laptop and a router.
  3. No i dont think you will get charged extra if you want to take it to different places in your house make sure it has wireless! as for the accesories : Mouse(stops you struggling with the touchpad) Mouspad lol webcam depending on if you use msn,yahoo etc they are just some vague examples
  4. Basic needs: 1. Carrying case 2. Wireless Mouse 3. External Hard Drive (if you like to download stuff) 4. Headphones (if you want to use video calling features) 5. Webcam (if your laptop doesn't have a built-in one) Regarding internet service, you will not be charged extra. You would probably want a wireless router if you don't have one so that you can use your laptop anywhere in your house. Most laptops nowadays have a built in wireless internet receiver. Check this when you purchase your laptop.
  5. well it depends on your modem if its wire less then check if how many computers it can hold and if its with wire i think you need a wireless one and you need a router you can get one from argos and it will cost you around £70 i use a belklin wireless router I only have 1 computer and the internet speed is great. so I suggest you buy a belklin one (G+) you need: a webcam if your laptop doesn't have a built in an optical mini mouse and a mouse pad a carry case a microphone again if you your laptop doesnt have a built in one so yea, I think that's it! goodluck
  6. A mouse and pad so you don't wear out the one on the computer(easier too), a case to carry it in, to and from friends/school. As for the internet connection, just get a wireless router that hooks to the modem you already have that way you can use it anywhere in the house, and outside if you get a good one.Or you can get a wired router(cheaper)but your limited by the wire length. Also laptops can connect to any public WiFi (crystals,McDonald's,library, etc. As for the laptop you buy its more important whats in it than the brand. Min would be 2ghz processor,2gb mem,120 HDD,and a good video card.
