High street retailer Carphone Warehouse has released the details of the free laptops available to support its recent move into the wireless broadband market.

Three laptops will be available for free to contract customers signing up to AOL (www.AOL.co.uk), TalkTalk (www.TalkTalk.co.uk), 3 (www.Three.co.uk), T-Mobile (www.T-Mobile.co.uk) or Orange (www.Orange.co.uk) and willing to pay a higher monthly price of £19.99.

The three Toshiba laptops - the L300-149, the P300-148 and the U400-13R - are worth £440, £579 and £679 respectively and are available from free on contracts from £19.99 a month. The highest spec laptop on offer weighs less than 2Kg, a 200GB hard drive and a 13.3 inch screen.

Michael Phillips, BroadbandChoices.co.uk product director, said: “These offers are going to be really popular as mobile broadband continues to grow at an amazing speed.”

Although the deals are good, with very high quality laptops and good specs, Phillips warned customers to shop around before committing to long, high-price packages.

“However, anyone considering signing up to one of these contracts in order to get a free laptop should consider that they could be paying as much as double the cost of a standalone mobile broadband package each month. It could be cheaper in the long run to save and buy a laptop outright,” he warned.
