Free laptops?

westie666

Folks,

I am looking for information on ISP's that are giving away 'free' laptops with broadband.

Ideally I would prefer 12 month contracts, but if you could post any tariff on any ISP offering laptops, I would be greatful!

Aol are doing one but I don't think your find one doing it on a 12month contract.

Even if aol where offering a free laptop on 12months I wouldn't go with them.

You'll notice they even give you a choice now of a laptop or PS3 (40gb) minimum £19.99 a month contract over 2 years + £14.99 delivery of your free gift.
The current BT deal expires at the end of this month, thus maybe worth seeing what they come up with next. (Hopefully not an extension of the current deal)

I was kind of thinking the same. Not too keen on AOL.

I take it by this you mean the total broadband with BT vision?

Rumour has it, they will be offering an xbox360 in the near future. As far as i can tell it's only AOL offering free laptops.

I'd study the Redten thread carefully before even thinking about one of these so called free pc deals.
How the heck can you stick power into a usb port? If it's possible theni'd certainly make sure it can't be done with one I was buying/getting "free"!

Basically, plastic cap that sits over USB power teeth broke, and I was not looking where I was putting the power

The closest I got to considering this was '£19.99 a month for BB + PC' I'd be better @ PC World and pay up monthly, and get BB from e.g tiscali for £6.49 (ONLY AN EXAMPLE....TISCALI ARE S**T)
