Two new netbooks have been added by Vodafone mobile broadband to its range of “free laptop” packages.
The Samsung N130 and the Dell Inspiron Mini 10 are launched to be used by the broadband users. One can avail these packages by paying £25 a month for a free laptop plus 1GB of data. They need to pay £30 a month for a laptop along with 3GB monthly download allowance on a contract of 24 months. The Samsung N130 supports a 10.1in screen. It is adorned with a 160GB hard drive and comprises of an integrated webcam. This device incorporates a latest Windows 7 operating system.
As far as the Dell Inspiron Mini 10 is concerned, it has similar size and also supports a built-in webcam and a 160GB hard drive. It runs on Windows XP.
Both laptops are available at £250 and a typical 3GB mobile broadband package if purchased separately will set you back £15 per month.
Michael Phillips, Broadbandchoices.co.uk product director, said: “Laptop deals are great for spreading the cost of a new PC, and a mobile broadband package is the perfect partner for one of these ultra-portable netbooks, allowing you to make the most of your new laptop by logging on and surfing the web no matter where you are.
“There are a few things you need to be aware of when signing a new mobile broadband contract though,” he advised. “You should always run a postcode search to make sure that you’ll get adequate mobile broadband coverage where you live and also make sure that you keep an eye on your downloads so that you never exceed your limit. Vodafone charges £15 per extra GB of data so out of bundle costs can soon add up.”
