By allowing consumers to spread their payments, mobile broadband laptop offers have enabled unprecedented levels of consumers to buy laptops affordably. Such offers have also permitted people to acquire higher-end laptops over the £500 mark which they might otherwise struggle to afford.
With the appearance of a new deal from 3, consumers can get their hands on a laptop for less monthly outlay than ever before. 3’s deal combines an Acer Aspire A150b laptop with 15Gb of mobile broadband for just £22.50 a month, just £7.50 per month more than a stand alone mobile broadband contract which costs £15. Therefore adding on a laptop to your mobile broadband connection equates to less than the cost of a Starbucks cappuccino a week.
Jessica McArdle, marketing manager at Top 10 Broadband, said: “With cheap laptop deals proliferating by the hour, the days of a laptop being thought of as a luxury purchase are long gone. Combining the purchase of a laptop with a mobile broadband connection can offer astonishing value.
“A price point of £22.50 a month for a laptop and 15Gb of mobile broadband means that even in these troubled times, many people can afford to own a great laptop simply by making some small sacrifices. 3’s deal is a perfect offer for students or for anyone who wants to spread the cost of a laptop purchase,” she continued.
