Orange unleashes connected laptops and dongles
With the wide variety of service and product options, staying connected is something that is taken for granted nowadays whether it is through a mobile phone or internet-enabled notebook. Orange has let out two new Connected laptops – Asus 1005HGO and Compaq CQ61 as also two more dongles, namely, Orange e1752 and Option 515M across the U.K.
Though access to Orange’s 3G network will not be provided with the notebooks, those who buy them need not pay the whole price up front. Asus 1005HGO sports a 10.1” screen and webcam. Its 1.27kg light chassis makes it extremely portable. The device comes with Windows 7 Starter and an integrated SIM card. The Compaq CQ61 has a 15.6” display and is packaged with Orange e1752, Windows Home Premium, DVD player and webcam.
“These new mobile broadband devices provide both our consumers and small and medium-sized business customers with the latest technology and best value for money.
