Orange steps up laptop assault

Orange is now offering the Asus’ Eee PC 901 with embedded 3G connectivity to consumers for £25 a month.

This follows its initial deal launched in August, which it says has attracted significant popularity.

Orange says it intends to continue to growing its laptop business to both consumers and business customers.

"By introducing the Eee PC 901 with integrated connectivity, we’re now making it even easier for customers to purchase a flexible solution that allows them to access the internet when they are out and about,” said Francois Mahieu, director of devices at Orange UK. “As a result, we strongly believe this will be one of the most popular device offers in the market place this Christmas.”
