Mobile Broadband & Laptop Deals

Free laptops give you the chance to break free of wires and the broadband providers listed above recognise the importance of this flexibility. Like the mobile phone, the mobile computer (laptop) has revolutionised the way we communicate online and, as broadband is essential to online communication, broadband and free laptops make an ideal coupling.

As laptops are intended to be used on the go as well as at home, bundling them with mobile broadband deals makes sense.

Free laptop deals

Why limit your broadband use to your home? The packages offered by 3, Virgin Media, T-Mobile, Vodafone, O2 and Orange mean that you can connect to the internet at broadband speeds no matter where you are (subject to mobile phone network coverage). To find out the mobile broadband coverage in your area click onto the providers pages and enter your postcode.

The free laptop deals above come with a free dongle that can be plugged straight into the USB slot of your laptop or have a 3G broadband SIM card embedded inside.

Dongles are small and discreet and ready to go within two days of ordering. Alternatively you could opt for a broadband-embedded laptop which removes the need for a dongle altogether. We'll be explaining how these work below.

Broadband and free laptop savings

Considering the amount that the laptops on offer are worth (upwards of £550) there are genuine savings to be made by combining your laptop with a home or mobile broadband purchase. These offers also make it incredibly easy and quick to get a new laptop without a big lump sum to pay. As most free laptop deals are on 18 to 24 month contracts, you are given the time you need to pay off the laptop deal without paying excessive charges in interest.

Free laptops with in-built broadband

Some mobile broadband providers have bypassed the trend of offering laptops with external USB modems by offering netbooks with built-in mobile broadband. This takes the hassle out of using your free laptop to connect to the internet. With nothing to plug in, your mobile broadband experience is more seamless than ever.

Considering an iPad instead?

In many ways, the rise of tablets, such as the iPad, has seen laptops become somewhat superseded by the newer technology. Tablets dispense with traditional keyboards for a touchscreen that recognises inputs you make with your fingers directly on to the display.

Broadband and free iPad deals are now much, much more common than broadband and free laptop deals, reflecting the latter's fashionable status and a sea change in people's web browsing habits.
