Orange launches broadband/laptop combo

Packages range from £35 to £45 per month

Written by Angelica Mari

Orange has launched a combined offering of a laptop and mobile broadband geared at small and medium sized businesses.

The product comes in three different packages, which can include either a SIM card or an ICON 225 USB stick for mobile internet access.

All options include an unlimited data allowance, and a monthly Wi-Fi allowance of 500 minutes which can be used at Orange hotspots across the UK.

The laptops included in the package are supplied by HP and come with the business version of Windows Vista.

The new packages range from £35 to £45 per month on a two-year contract depending on the choice of laptop.

"In the current economic climate, businesses are demanding the capability to work flexibly at a reasonable price," said Orange UK vice president for business Paul Tollet. "Businesses can literally be up and running the moment they open the box."
