Free Laptop with Broadband Deals: Buyers' Guide

High-speed internet access is invaluable if you're at home or in the office, but it's also possible to pick a free laptop with broadband deal if you need to get online access while you're on the move. Broadband and laptop deals are becoming widely available.

This can be a really practical route to take because a laptop can be used at home as per normal, but it also gives you the freedom to take your broadband access with you wherever you go. There are plenty of options to choose from, with several of the major providers having variations on the free laptop with broadband theme.

Is it really a 'free' laptop?

While there are countless broadband and laptop deals currently available it's those offers that suggest a free computer comes as part of the package that really tend to catch your attention. Of course, there's no such thing as a free lunch, so while you may get broadband with a free laptop thrown in you'll end up paying for it in the long run.

This is because the contract package that you'll be asked to sign up for will be for a fixed term. Add up the figures and you'll soon see that the cost of getting a free laptop with wireless broadband thrown in is invariably factored in to the overall price.

No matter. If you're looking to pick from one of the many broadband packages with a free laptop as part of the deal then this can be a great way of getting yourself high-speed internet access with a bang up to date laptop computer. A lot of the free laptop with broadband access offers that are currently available will offer you a machine with a very decent specification too.

Bag yourself a free mobile broadband laptop

Most of the tried and trusted brands, including the likes of HP, Fujitsu, Samsung, Compaq and Toshiba, feature in many of the free laptop with broadband deals. You'll also see models from old stalwarts like Acer and Dell alongside laptops and netbooks from relative new kids on the block Asus.

While you'll find that many mobile broadband packages with a free laptop will provide you with a resonable machine for your requirements today, try and get a computer that'll be fairly future proof. A free laptop with wireless broadband isn't going to be much use if, mere months after getting it, you find that the technical specification is woefully inadequate for your needs.

Picking the right laptop

If you're a lightwight mobile broadband user who dips into email and surfs the web occasionally then pretty much any machine will do the job. Even the less powerful netbook computers offered as part of many free laptop and broadband deals will deliver fairly dependable service on this level. The added benefit of these devices is that they're much smaller and lighter than larger more conventional laptops.

But if you're after a free laptop with wireless broadband in order to carry out heavyweight online activities such as downloading large amounts of movies and music then be sure to carry out plenty of laptop comparsions beforehand.

Broadband Genie can help you with a comparision between the different 3G broadband providers (vodafone, T-Mobile, O2 and 3 Mobile) to ensure you get the most appropriate laptop and laptop internet package. You can compare not just on prices, but on various aspects of wireless broadband as well as read current 3G internet consumer reviews abour their mobile broadband experiences.

A free laptop with all the features

You'll need a machine that not only offers a wealth of processor and memory power but also a stack of disk space. It's likely that the more you pay then the better the machine will be because some of the cheap broadband with free laptop deals that are on offer feature machines with a lot less computing muscle.

Keeping that in mind, be sure to read the terms and conditions of any free laptop with broadband deals that take your fancy. While many mobile providers offer broadband packages with a free laptop many of these also have restrictions, limits and levels of data that you can upload and download during a specific period.

So, for example, you may well sign on the dotted line for a free laptop with wireless broadband package, but the amount of data you can send or receive from it may be capped. The comparison tables allow you to easily compare these restrictions and decide which one is best for you.

Sign up for a broadband and laptop deal

It's best to find out all of this information before you enter into a contract that offers the cheapest broadband with free laptop as part of the deal because it can often be costly or impossible to get out of it again until the contract expires.

Contract terms for a free laptop with broadband package can often be anything from 18 to 24 months. So, you need to be clear about the small print and reasonably sure that you're getting a computer that'll still be delivering the goods for your mobile broadband requirements some two years down the line.

Nevertheless, getting yourself equipped with a free laptop with wireless broadband service can be the ideal solution for all sorts of people who need high-speed internet access. Broadband packages with a free laptop often mean that you can spread the cost of the payments across a long period of time, so while you may be paying more it means you're not required to spend a large amount of money in one go.

There's also the added convenience of signing up for one of the many free laptop with broadband offers. You can take the service with you wherever you go and, subject to an available mobile broadband signal being available, you can stay online whatever the location.

What kind of person needs mobile broadband?

Students, businesses people, in fact just about anyone who wants the freedom of a free laptop with broadband deal will find that network coverage of mobile internet is now great for staying online. It's possible to get relatively cheap broadband with a free laptop thrown in for similar money to that of a fixed-line ADSL or cable broadband connection too, so the added freedom wireless connectivity affords is seen as being an increasingly popular way of getting online.

Broadband providers are, of course, queuing up to offer these free laptop with broadband offers because in return they get a commitment from you for a fixed period of time. You'll often find that they will throw in a dongle too, which is the small plastic device that plugs into an available USB port on the free laptop. This then receives the mobile broadband signal and allows you to browse the web and check email just as you would with a fixed line broadband service.

Increasingly, some providers are also offering a free laptop with wireless broadband built-in to the machine itself. This obviously means that you don't have to worry about the need for a dongle, although cheap broadband with a free laptop packages usually have these included anyway so there's not much in it in terms of cost. However, a free laptop with wireless broadband already set up inside the machine means that you can flip open the laptop, fire it up and you're online in mere minutes.

The other benefits of a free laptop and mobile broadband

There are other reasons why you may want to invest in the services of a free laptop with broadband deal. Regular commuters who spend time in trains, planes and automobiles will find that it's an ideal way of enjoying mobile broadband access both at home or work and also anywhere inbtween. Some people aren't actually able to get a broadband service at home via the more traditional ADSL or cable routes either. So looking at broadband packages with a free laptop can often be the only way they can get themselves online.

Whatever your reasons for considering a free laptop with broadband deal, one of the things to pay attention to is the specification of the machine you're interested in. Having a quick checklist to hand should mean that you can tick off basic technical requeirements such as a decent processor, large hard disk drive and as much Random Acesss Memory (RAM) as possible.

If you're seriously considering a free laptop with wireless broadband deal then be sure to check that the operating system is one you're comfortable with. Most of the current free broadband and laptop deals will give you a machine with a Windows-based system on board, although some use Linux.

Getting a mobile broadband laptop that's good on the eye

Whichever route you choose to take, it's a good idea to see how you get on with the screen size offered on the free laptop with any broadband package you like the look of. A typical mobile broadband laptop screen will often be smaller than a regular monitor that you might already use at home. Netbook computers, which offer a lot more freedom than even a standard size free laptop, generally have even smaller screens, so it's wise to try before you buy.

There can be a few drawbacks with free laptop with wireless broadband offers though. Speed of the mobile broadband service is a common bugbear and will rarely live up to those quoted in advertisements. Coverage is better than it was but this can also be subject to flucatuations and broadband packages with a free laptop can be subject to headaches caused by sheer numbers of other people using the network too. The download limits can be a similarly frustrating issue for many users wanting the convenience of free broadband and laptop deals.

Nevertheless, if you do your research and use the comparison tables on this site first then it really is possible to get a free laptop with broadband package that'll deliver the goods and stand you in good stead for a couple of years at least.
