To what lengths would you go to save up for a new laptop? Would be prepared to cut out your monthly trip to the barnet doctor? Or maybe you’d prefer to give up a few meals out? In fact, you don’t have to go anything like that far.

Today, Top 10 has revealed that a shiny laptop can be had simply by foregoing a few hot drinks every month when you sign up for a combined mobile broadband and laptop deal from 3. Sounds too good to be true? It isn’t, you know.

Under the terms of 3’s offer, you’ll pay a total of £22.50 a month for a mobile broadband dongle, an Acer Aspire 150b laptop and the opportunity to get online wherever you are. That’s just £7.50 per month more than a stand-alone mobile broadband contract which costs £15. Or you can look at it as less than the price of a coffee a week from your favourite caff.

And the mobile broadband dongle facet of 3’s deal is pretty attractive, too. With a whopping 15GB of usage, you’ll be able to breeze around the web downloading content and streaming video to your heart’s content.

    Yes but 3 provides rotten reception in my home and at work. We can only phone from one side of my house or out in the garden. What good would a three computer package do me ?? I am sure, no in fact I know many others in this situation who have experienced this at the IT company where I work.
