What To Be Aware Of With Laptop And Mobile Broadband Deals
One of the latest trends is to add a laptop or tablet with your mobile broadband deal
. This all inclusive package is then part and parcel of an 18 or 24 month contract.Essentially, this deal looks like great value on the outset and users get a dongle with mobile Internet allowances that they pay for on contract each month and a laptop that they can use with the mobile broadband. For students in need of both items this can look like the perfect deal and can seem like a real money saver and sometimes it is. However, there are still a number of things to be aware of when choosing one of these combine packages, as well as deciding on which broadband deal to go with.
Monthly Cost
When you decide on a monthly broadband and laptop package make sure to look at the price of it and the amount of data you are getting. They say there is no such thing as a free lunch and to be honest in the case of these packages this is often the truth.
You will often end up paying a high amount for a broadband package that you would get for a lot less if it were just the package alone. The cost of the laptop and the often reduced amount of data you are receiving greatly lowers the real saving on the laptop.
People often see this mobile broadband package and are lured in by the seemingly low cost broadband and what seems like a 'free' laptop. This is not the case; you will most likely pay for the laptop with the broadband contract.
Be Aware
Now that you are aware of the fact that you will often have to pay for the laptop in instalments and receive a lower broadband data allowance in return for mobile broadband and the laptop together, you have to be aware of other factors.
The Data
Understand how much data you are getting for the price and perhaps compare it to another mobile broadband deal. Competition's good when it comes to mobile broadband and you should compare the price of the data with the broadband to the amount of money a contract will cost without the additional laptop. You may be very much surprised at the difference in cost and how much you are actually paying for the laptop.
The Laptop
Have a look at the model of laptop you are getting. You will often find that with these deals you are getting a budget laptop or maybe even a netbook.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this fact at all. However, it is often wiser to find out the model number and compare the price of the laptop, netbook or tablet online and perhaps even have a look at some online reviews about it and how good it actually is.
You should then compare the price of the laptop and which broadband comes with the package and then price them both separately. You may find that there is significant savings on paying for the price of the laptop and the mobile broadband contract separately.
Even if you can't afford the laptop initially, you can always look into a hire purchase arrangement with the store. This can leave you better off in monetary terms than the contract and is certainly something to be aware of.
Negotiate
Mobile broadband companies are open to negotiation, especially if your mobile broadband is up for renewal. Make sure to look at the competition and discuss how much your broadband is costing you compared to other companies.
There is as much competition with other companies and mobile broadband as there is with mobile phones and if you play your cards correctly you can really lower the cost. Use the competitions to push down the price and get the best possible deal for you in terms of data, price and the laptop or tablet you receive. If you drive a hard bargain you will often receive one.
Just beware of the aforementioned and you can save and also receive the best deal, while keeping your eyes open.
