Orange has announced that sales of its ‘connected’ laptops have exceeded expectations. Orange are currently offering customers a laptop bundle deal for the first time, which includes a free Asus Eee PC with a £25 per month two year broadband deal including 3GB of UK data allowance and 100 texts from the laptop each month. The laptops have USB modems enabling them to connect to Orange’s Internet Everywhere tariffs.
The offer is the first of Orange’s new ‘connected’ product range. At present, laptop demos are available at 85 Orange stores nationwide, with Orange hoping to expand the deal to include Hewlett Packard laptops as well as business tariffs. Orange eventually intends to develop the range into a landline product, available with a greater range of laptops.
An Orange spokesman said: ‘It has gone down well. We've sold more than anticipated and early signs are very encouraging. The connected range is part of Tom Alexander's agenda to improve the business. We want to evolve, and will do so by taking the range across the board and into stores’.
