Orange is the latest operator to start offering laptop computers as it tries to capitalise on its mobile broadband offering.

Rather than follow Carphone Warehouse with the Webbook, it has turned to Asus and the popular Eee PC to kick of its new "connected" range.

Available from Saturday, customers will be able to purchase a package consisting of Orange’s "Internet Everywhere" mobile broadband service, a dongle and an Asus Eee PC 900 16G laptop for £25 a month.

Users who sign up will get a plug-in option icon 225 modem and a UK data allowance of just 3GB a month.

Francois Mahieu, Director of Devices for Orange UK has also hinted this will be the first of many: "This launch is just the start, over time we will be expanding our offering even further with more suppliers who are at the forefront of laptop technology".

The catch? You'll have to sign up for 24 months to benefit.

  • Personally, I believe that the £10 step up a month for the laptop and the dongle is worth every penny. There is a dual convienience for anyone who wants mobile broadband; They give you 'mobile' broadband AND the perfect mobile computing solution to use it on.
    The Math: - (D)ongle, (L)aptop.

    D+L = £25 /mnth
    D = £15 /mnth

    D+L = £600 over 2 years
    D = £360 over 2 years

    Thus laptop will cost you: - £240, thats better than most webstores are selling the one you get by far! not to mention a continuous and payed payement plan does wonders for your credit!

    Cheers!
