I have bought a new dell laptop. I do not have a tv at my house and I think it is possible to watch movies on my laptop instead? How can i watch movies on my laptop?
Yes, you can watch movies on your laptop very easily. Since you seem to be new to this technology, let me explain to you in detail the different ways of doing this:
1. Buy a DVD/CD of your choice from a store: This option is a little costly, and is dependent on whether you have a CD/DVD drive on your laptop. You can see this on the right side of the laptop keyboard.
2. Use netflix to stream a movie online: For this, you need an internet connection. You can then subscribe to netflix and watch movies but only the netflix movies.
Other than this, some websites also have the option of downloading movies, but I do not recommend this, as it may not be legal in your country.

Aside from the Windows Internet Explorer that comes with Windows, you can use other browsers to allow you to watch online movies. Try the following web browsers:
Note: for you to be able watch online movies, you should install Adobe Flash Player. This is required so your browser can play flash movies. But if you don’t have internet, you can watch movies offline using a media player if you have VCD or DVD movies. But to do this, your laptop should have an optical drive either a CD or a DVD drive.
To watch offline movies on your laptop with a VCD or DVD movie disc, you need to install a media player on your machine. Microsoft Windows already comes with its own media player called Windows Media Player. If you want a variety, try one of these media players on your laptop:
