However, Orange has now revealed a plan which could possibly have PC retailed biting their nails. Customers will gain a free Asus Eee PC 900 16GB laptop by signing to a £25.00 per month two year contract. While business customers will be offered the choice of an HP 6370 or 6730b carrying a tariff ranging from £35 to £45 per month.
