PC World is offering a free laptop to anyone who signs up for a two-year contract with Orange broadband.

From this Thursday each new Orange subscriber who signs up for two years at a PC World store will be given a Celeron laptop worth over £300. Tens of thousands of laptops are being made available to support the promotion.

Niall O'Keeffe, marketing director of PC World said that the offer shows the retailer's commitment to supporting Broadband Britain.

"Internet access and access to home IT is increasingly important for British families," he said. "There are educational benefits for children and numerous practical and social benefits for adults. We are pleased to be offering this groundbreaking deal as part of our commitment to Britain's digital future."

The laptops will have a minimum specification of a 15.4in widescreen display and are wireless enabled with 256MB memory, a 40GB hard drive and a DVD rewriter.

Users will also be able to trade up to a higher specification portable or receive a discount of up to £350 off any laptop in the store range.
