Hello there.

I certainly would not choose the Acer so if that was the only two choices included in the diffrent contracts I would be with Wolfey on this one and choose Compaq.

However is there diffrent branded netbooks or laptops included in diffrent packages?

If you post more information maybe we can look at the best deal with the best prices and netbook for you?

Who were you thinking of going with?3G?

To be honest most of them deals (netbook+dongle) from 3G and Talk Talk etc are well over priced I looked into these some time ago.

I would much rather as I did save the money and buy a netbook of my choice.Lots of netbooks if you buy the correct one connect to the internet free of charge via WIFI.No need to have a USB dongle and a contract.

To sum up the usage of the USB dongle you do not get that many hours of surfing time and downloading also reduces your hours online.If you go over the usage limit you maybe charged the extra usage via your bank.

I know a friend who went over the usage limit and was charged £5-00 per day which was duely removed from her bank account.So I would look into the small print before purchase.

My best advice is to save and buy a netbook of your choice.

Then only purchase the USB dongle as an extra and look into the best option,3G is pritty good on prices and hours at the moment.

This would work out much much cheaper in the long run for you.

Most contracts are 12 months or 18 months or 24 months if you add up what you would be paying over the contract period and the actual prices of netbooks on offer you will see you realy are being over charged.

But it is your choice and which way you wish to go.

If you wish further advice please feel free to ask as I am sure we can find you a better deal.
