Virgin Media has launched its first branded “Freedom” netbook worth around £300, and you could get the Virgin laptop free on selected 24-month packages. Hurry, this offer is limited time only, visit www.VirginMedia.com/Free-Netbook

Virgin Media will this week launch its first ever branded laptop – the “Freedom” netbook (pictured above).

The netbook has been optimised for 50Mb speeds and it will be available online this week. It includes the following features:

• Processor: 1.60 GHz Intel Atom
• Hard drive: 120GB SATA Hard Drive
• Screen size: 10.2" screen
• Dimensions: 265 x 182 x 26 mm
• PC guard antivirus software included
• Available in black or Virgin red colours
• Weight: 1.1Kg

Visit www.VirginMedia.com/Free-Netbook to find out more.

Both new and existing Virgin Media customers will be able to get the laptop - worth around £300 - at no additional charge when they take certain 24-month bundles, with both fixed line and mobile broadband.

The netbook offer comes hot on the heels of Virgin Media announcing that all its cable customers can now get 50Mb broadband, and slashing the price of 50Mb broadband.

Michael Phillips, BroadbandChoices.co.uk product director, said: “As with all ‘free laptop’ deals, it’s important to subtract the value of the laptop from the cost of the 24-month contract. This will help you get a lock on how much you’re actually paying for the broadband contract.”
