You either pick one of their choices *or* get £350 off any laptop in store. Hmm.. reading the second one, you can only pick a better laptop if you agree to a higher tariff with Orange.... not so good. They're making sure they get more money out of you than the cost of the laptop - obvious really or they'd be out of business. Also it IS a 24 month contract which comes out at £300 for the period for the cheapest £14.99 tariff (couple of months half price). If the service is good that wouldn't be a problem, but without knowing, is 2 years too much of a gamble?
