mobile phone - free laptop deal

Looking at CPW deal for Nokia 6300 600min & 500 texts a month for £35 on 18 month contract. Price also includes a free Acer Aspire 5315 Laptop. Has anyone got one of these laptops? Is this a good a deal as it seems ( can get quidco as well). Can anyone recc any other laptop deals? I know there is another one about with HP6720 is this any better.
Only need a laptop for emails and a bit of surfing so would these models suffice

    I have always found it cheaper to buy things like this separately. It gives you more choice and usually a more cost effective purchase. I was also looking for a laptop and a mobile deal a few months ago like the one you are looking at, however for the tariff cost of 18*35=£630, I got a core 2 duo rather than the crappy celeron laptops that were coming with the inclusive deal and I also got a tariff more suited to my needs.
  • Laptops are generally hard to fix, as if it;s a cheap brand obviously the WHOLE thing will need returning IF say one of the keys is broken for example. Make sure its a good brand like Hewlett-Packard (HP) or Toshibba

    Cheers
  • Also MS Vista Home Basic is OK, but may require a bit of memory, but that's not too expensive anyway
