O2 has launched its new range of laptop broadband offers.

The Samsung NC10 and the Samsung R510 make up part of O2's new mobile broadband packages, targeting customers looking for long-term deals.

Both machines are free when purchased as part of two-year contracts - £30 per month for a 3GB download allowance and £40 for 10GB.

Deals come with unlimited free access to O2 Cloud wireless broadband zones and the provider claims the laptops possess the advantages of the three S's - style, substance, staying power, security and service.

Speaking to Mobile News, an employee at one of the O2 stores now selling the products claimed that the deals are a welcome arrival.

The unnamed staff member is quoted as saying: "We have been at a disadvantage regarding sales of mobile broadband for a long time, but we can now finally compete with the rest of the high street."
