The UK Government has created the Home Access Grant to give low income families the opportunity to get online, covering both computer equipment and internet access. While the governement laptop grant was only launched in January this year, the Government have already given out over 55,000 laptop grants and is processing thousands more. With literally millions of prospective applicants chasing a grant for a laptop and with a limited number available there’s sure to be a lot of unsuccessful candidates that still have the requirement for affordable internet access for their sons and daughters. We feel 3′s laptop and mobile broadband bundles could help here, with laptop and broadband given upfront and payments spread over 24-months from just £17.50 per month.
Take the Dell Mini 1012 notebook computer with 1GB of mobile broadand downloads per month. It’s the very latest laptop in 3′s range and features the new, easy to use Windows 7 operating system, an 8-hour battery life and a 160GB hard disk to store all your homework. All this for just £17.50 per month online
Need more data allowance? You can get 5 times the amount of mobile broadband usage for £25 per month online
And if you feel a larger laptop is better suited there’s plenty more computers to choose from in the range – see here
As you can see, there are options other than the government grant for laptops, so if you’re not accepted for the home access grant, don’t dismay.
