Free Laptops - Not Quite, But Almost
Highly elevated rates of new content and products we have to get accustomed and used to are an uncertain base to build your views on.
Whenever you hear about these free laptops, you most probably will have to pay a monthly fee of some description to get a computer you've heard about.
First it sounds great, but please take a step back and spend a moment thinking about what companies see in a free laptop they give away.
Of course this would be one great way to promote their products, but companies are profit oriented, chances are that you won't get a laptop for free any time soon, however low the production price of them may sink with time.
There is nothing to worry about though, these broadband providers are really set out to sell their services, so they give the laptop away virtually free.
Granted you are paying for the net, and the subscription being low you might think that the laptop was free, because you could have the service for the same money anyway.
That's not entirely true.
Companies calculate their fees in a way that you will pay extra even if you think you've just made the bargain of the year.
Isn't it it going against what I just said? Perhaps, but think about it.
The company makes money by selling a service with a profit and you pay reasonable money for it, you get a service and a great laptop, both parties win on the sell, so why is it wrong? The laptop deals are really easy to find, you just have to watch some tv and wait for the ad block, you will most probably come across one ad or two about the matter.
You can also look around in search engines, these promotions are well pressured so you will spend no time finding one.
Take the fact that these contracts are for long term into consideration though.
Usually they last 18 to 24 months and if you would like to terminate the contract early you will have to pay some kind of a fine, or the money you would have pain monthly in one payment.
This is not hard at all to avoid though, read everything that is put in front of you before you sign them.
The fine print as well, basically just read the whole contract and don't think it is rude to do so.
More like stupid to agree on terms you don't know.
This is business, don't mix feeling with business and you are probably good to know.
Be polite, ask for some time to read the contract.
Last thoughts; do not forget to read everything you put your signature on, and there is no free laptop, though these offers are often good for both parties.
