Don't bother with free laptop offers, you end up with a 2 year contract that's overpriced, and you end up paying more over that period for the laptop than if you'd bought it 'paid for'.
The 'free' laptop deals are normally for a laptop and a mobile broadband dongleNo free lunch, and no free laptop0 -

As above, this sounds too good to be true, and it is. You'll not get a £15 contract with a free laptop (& phone!). The 'free' laptop deals are usually £30+ per month, for 24 months = £720. This is for a low spec laptop, dongle, and mobile phone, plus the calls contract with a data allowance. Bad value IMHO0

If you insist, I found a website which compares different deals with laptops
http://www.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!/Free-Gifts/laptop-phones/I wanted to thankyou a million times but its a shame that I can press the button just once :T0 -
cheapest that i can see for this is the deal from 3
£9 per month for phone 100 mins or texts + 300 3 to 3 mins
if you take both at the same time you can get
£15 per month for Acer Aspire B150 laptop with MBB dongle and 1GB usage
SO £24 per month total 18m contract on phone and 24m on laptop. should be best option if you don't want to pay upfront for a laptop0 -
