    It says ANY laptop gets £300 off. So if you don't like the spec then change it!
    I wonder if any means Clearance aswell. There are some great laptops for £350.

    I saw this today and rushed home to ask Plus Net for my MAC code as I thought it looked like a pretty good deal.

    What's so bad about Orange broadband? Haven't used them before.

    Apart from AOL, are there any other great deals that anyone knows about? I pay £14.99/month at the moment to Plus Net for unlimited 2Meg which isn't bad, but if I could get a decent freebie for the same price I'd like to switch!

    If you already have broadband - and still want a laptop check out http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.200-6737/btnResultSort.x%3d507/btnResultSort.y%3d291.aspx
    £349 for a better spec laptop - with double the RAM and Hard drive. If you don't have broadband, but want a good laptop I would still go for this! You can get broadband for free through your mobile or with a sky package if you need to.

    Unfortunately not through Sky in this area, and not through 3 either. Not looking for a laptop, but the one they're offering for 69.99 (100GB hard drive, 1MB RAM) isn't bad for the price, when the majority of us have to pay somewhere in the region of £15 a month for our broadband anyway. Would be handy to have as a spare!

    Who in their right minds would want to get stitched in to any ISP for 2 years?..let alone Orange.

    No such thing as a free lunch.

    I just hope that anyone daft enough to get involved with Orange Broadband doesn't need to call their support team. :rolleyes:

    Do some research first, is my advice.

    £300 off a new decent laptop appeals to me!
    I am with Orange broadband already though, can I still utilise this offer?
    (Been with them since it was Freeserve/Wanadoo and never had a serious problem)

    Isn't the £292 Dell laptop better?

    I've been an Orange customer since I started on the internet in 1997, gradually updating my internet connection as I've gone along. I've NEVER had any problems with it whatsoever. It's always connected first time. I don't know anything about the Indian call centres as I've never had to ring one.
