Orange (www.Orange.co.uk) mobile broadband has unleashed a new Compaq notebook plus mobile broadband deal.

The Compaq CQ61 laptop has a DVD player as well as a massive 250GB hard drive and a glossy black finish.

It is available on an 18- or 24-month contract and buyers can choose their monthly download limit from 1GB, 3GB and 5GB. It comes with a new model Orange e1752 dongle.

Plans start at £24.47 a month for 1GB of usage, plus an up-front cost of £129 for the notebook.

If you need a boosted monthly download allowance you can purchase extra usage bundles, starting at £5 for a 1GB 30-day boost and going up to £20 a month for a 10GB 30-day boost.

The plans also include a number of texts according to the download allowance you choose.

Other features of the Compaq CQ61 netbook include:

• 15.6 inch screen
• Wireless-enabled
• Web cam
• Windows 7
• 5 hours battery life

Michael Phillips, product director at Broadbandchoices.co.uk, said: “This laptop deal would make a great Christmas present for a student or even a silver surfer in the family.

“There is an upfront cost for the netbook, unless you’re prepared to sign-up for the 5GB monthly allowance and a 24-month contract. But with a built-in DVD player, this notebook has a significant selling point.”
