Free laptop deals are set to step up in response to the unveiling of the Apple iPad, according to experts.
The new machine was shown off last week at a glitzy ceremony in the States, leading many to speculate that its arrival would form a threat to the laptop market.
In response, the number of free laptop deals looks likely to increase as retailers seek to keep sales of laptops buoyant – which is great news for consumers.
The iPad is said to bridge the gap between laptops and its sister device, the iPhone. There is speculation that it could end up replacing laptops, which has led to the new focus on free laptop deals.
Currently, buyers can take advantage of a number of free laptop deals by picking up a machine at the same time as a mobile broadband subscription. It is thought the free laptop deals brought in to combat the rise of the iPad will offer consumers even greater benefits. Watch this space.
