Vodafone launch new mobile broadband + laptop deal
Vodafone are offering a new Vodafone mobile broadband & laptop deal, although that isn’t new the laptop they have on offer is.They are offering the Acer Aspire 5535 laptop mobile broadband bundle for £40 per month that offers users the laptop and a mobile broadband connection with 3GB data transfer per month on a 24 month contract.
Having done some calculations we thought it would be an idea to tell you the financial out goings with this deal.
A 24 month contract at £40 per month means you will pay £960 over the 2 years for the laptop and the mobile broadband.
If you took the mobile broadband 3Gb deal alone from Vodafone you would pay £15 per month which over 24 months works out at £360, although there is going to be a 3 months free offer starting on this mobile broadband price plan which would mean a saving of another £45 and making the total mobile broadband deal over the 2 years at £315.
We have had a look online and seen the laptop alone being sold for £389.
So if you were to buy the laptop separately and the mobile broadband alone from Vodafone it would cost you £704, which is a saving of £256 over the 2 year period, this equates to around £10.66 per month.
The option of spread paying over this length of time might make the extra £10 per month worthwhile for some, for many it might be worth spending the extra £250 on a better laptop or just keeping it in your own back pocket.
