i have purchased a new laptop about 3 months back, and now it is turning out to be a nightmare. internet is very slow, and also i have to be near a plug ,s o i can charge the battery. it finishes off every 20 minutes. so it's not like a laptop, i have to sit with it at a table or it wont work.. will simply not work! do you think there is any way i can resolve this problem?

Does your laptop have a warranty? Is it still under the warranty's coverage? Maybe you can have it checked in the store where you bought it, or if there is a service center for that particular laptop brand, take it there. They could probably fix it or replace some defective parts, if ever there are. It's pretty unusual for a 3-month old laptop to act that way, unless it's not really brand new. Better have it checked or replaced, if you can.

did not buy it from a shop, had this fellow come over, who showed it and said it was presented to him as a gift and has no use for it, so we sort of got it at a bargain price...

With it being that new it should be under waranty. It sounds like there are major problems and I know that I would not put up with them. They should replace it for you. I can take mine outside and use it for a long time before it has to be plugged back in and I don't have to have it on a table to get it to work. Call technical support about it.
