Better to understand a little than to misunderstand a lot.

    How much is the excess?

    Is it new for old cover?

    Does it cover laptops for "accidential damage"?


    What's the penalty for fraud? :-)

    For less than £200, you can pick up a small netbook with an extended life battery.

    If you required a dvd-rw you could remove your old drive, and put it into a usb dvd drive caddy.

    It just takes time to adapt to the small keyboard/screen etc.
