PC World ends month long free laptop offer |
|
Date added - 02/09/07 For a month long period of time PC World in their infinite wisdom decided to give away a laptop computer to every customer which signed up to Orange broadband. Then the offer abruptly ended. It has left quite a few people disappointed, the initial press release stated there would be thousands upon thousands of laptops available. PC World did claim all these laptops had gone, so they needed to stop the offer. However, it has left some people questioning whether it was just a cynical publicity stunt. To counter these claims a PC World spokesperson insisted the offer was a genuine mistake, and ultimately an expensive one. However, all is not lost, a new offer has been promoted from August 31st. New Orange subscribers can now save between £200-£330 off selected laptops and desktops. For example, you can currently save £289.99 off a Compaq Celeron M laptop, and a whopping £358.98 off an Acer Intel core 2 duo laptop. The rub of the green is your stuck with Orange broadband. It's
difficult to gage the quality of the service at this early date.
A download limit of 2GB, and download of 2MB for £14.99 per
month is far from appealing. For example, Bulldog
provide up to 16 meg speed broadband from £9.75 per month The previous url - http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/editorial/freelaptop/?int=home_nav New offer url - http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/editorial/orange-offer CommentsPosted on 05 / 09 / 2007
I would be particularly weary of Orange broadband, I am sure they were blasted in a BBC watchdog survey. My work relays quite heavily on my broadband, I would not risk it for a crappy ISP service. Not even for a free laptop. I have been with AOL for 3 years and use it all day long, never had a single problem with them. At the same time AOL have responded with a very similar deal in connection with Carphone Warehouse. The laptop has a slightly better spec as well. Check that out! User Rating -
