Sconnie Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Just having a look over this offer from AOL with 8meg broadband with a free laptop. Just wondering if the laptop is any good? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJack Horseman Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 For sweet fa? It's not bad at all tbh. However I was under the impression that AOL was and always will be, total pap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called 'HP Compaq 6720s Notebook' and it has a 80GB hard drive and DVD writer. I'd probably only use it for music and browsing the internet. If it could run Football Manager then brilliant.

Bigsmak Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 AOL - Never again... Worst service provider ever. IS the laptop any good though? Whats the specs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sconnie Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 I found the deal online... http://aolbroadband.co.uk/pages/productPages/acquisition/wirelessLaptop.jsp?urlseq=4 The only bit that really worries me is the 40Gb monthly download allowance.

Craig Gordons Gloves Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 AOL Broadband is now owned by Carphone Warehouse so the previous service worries aren't as pertinent now. I say go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rawrrrrrrr Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 It looks pretty good, no one on here got this deal? It isn't really Its a basic laptop worth no more than ?400. Your paying 19.99 for a package which is available elsewere for ?5-10 cheaper Your downloads limit is quite low, there is a delivery charge of ?14.99 and worst of all you are tied in for 2 years at this price Broadband is also getting cheaper all the time You would be better going with Talk Talk - same people now - you get the same package for free ( 8meg and 40gb download) and if you want buying the wireless stuff seperatly along with the laptop Aol etc are not stupid, they are getting people tied in by making this offer seem far better than it actually is, people see free and dont realise they are paying over the odds elswere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
