AOL Broadband giving away 160,000 free laptops
AOL Broadband has recently announced an exciting Free Laptop Offer, where 160,000 Dell Laptop PC's will be given Free to 160,000 subscribers to AOL Wireless Broadband plus. Whilst this offer is limited to 160,000, AOL reported that 50,000 people registered for a free laptop before the official launch date at the beginning of September.
Whats included?
- Free Dell laptop (Intel Celeron 540 processor), 1GB memory, 80GB hard disk
- Built in Wi-Fi and Microsoft Vista Home
- Free Netgear Wireless router
- Wireless broadband connection up to 8Mbps
- 40GB download limit

- Evenings and Weekends call package raises price to £22.49 a month

The obvious question that many are asking is - what's the catch? It is likely that AOL will cover the costs associated with this offer via telephone call revenue and it has been suggested that Dell are offering some subsidies in return for the anticipated PC upgrade fee's as subscribers opt for improved memory, upgraded processors etc.
