Three Mobile Broadband (www.Three.co.uk) has added a new laptop to its range, the Samsung R530.
The new model comes with a 15.6 inch screen, a 320GB hard drive and an integrated webcam, as well as the latest Windows 7 operating system.
The portable Compaq Mini 311, which comes with an 11.6 inch screen, 160GB hard drive and built-in webcam has also been given an upgrade to Windows 7, the ISP announced.
Both laptops are available with a 5GB monthly mobile broadband download allowance for £35 a month on a 24 month contract.
In addition to its new laptop and Windows 7 upgrades, 3 has also launched two new mobile broadband dongles, the Huawei E1750 and E122, offering 50% faster downloads.
Michael Phillips, Broadbandchoices.co.uk product director, said: “While you might not save a lot of money by going for one of these deals - where you essentially pay for your laptop through your monthly line rental - free laptop offers do allow you to spread the cost of a new computer over two years.
“Three’s laptop deals come with a generous 5GB download allowance - more than many other providers offer with a laptop - but you still need to keep an eye on your downloads to make sure you don’t run up high bills by exceeding your limit,” he advised.
