Three mobile broadband (www.Three.co.uk) is offering two new laptop deals for new customers, starting at just £17.50 a month - the cheapest in the country.
The provider has a new Acer D260, which comes with a 15.6in screen, a 320GB hard drive, a built-in web cam and the latest Windows 7 operating system, costs just £17.50 a month with a 1GB download allowance, or £25 a month with a massive 15GB allowance.
Alternatively, Three is also offering a new, portable Samsung N230 for £25 a month with a 5GB download allowance. It is just 10.1in and comes with a 250GB hard drive, a built-in webcam and a massive 10 hour battery life - making it the perfect mobile broadband laptop.
Michael Phillips, Broadbandchoices.co.uk product director, advised: “As usual, Three is offering some great deals on its mobile broadband laptops. Its £17.50 a month Acer package is the cheapest ‘free laptop’ deal in the country and its £25 a month offering gives you a very generous 15GB of data every month.
“But these deals come with long, 24-month commitments so you need to make sure that you'll get adequate coverage before you sign up,” he advised. “Make sure you compare mobile broadband coverage before you choose your provider.”
