Fujitsu Siemens and Vodafone team on lease-to-buy notebooks
Essentially a lease-to-buy scheme, the idea is that for an initial one-off payment and then monthly instalments it will be possible to have a notebook computer and a Vodafone GPRS Internet connection without a large up-front outlay.
At the end of the agreed leasing period, which is set at two years, there are three options: return the notebook to Fujitsu Siemens and end the contract, make a final payment and buy the notebook being used outright, or trade up to a new machine and begin the monthly payment cycle again.
Fujitsu Siemens is making several of its notebook models available under the scheme. A typical offering, with an opening payment of £99 and subsequent payments of £89 a month, would provide a Fujitsu Siemens LifeBook laptop or Tablet PC (with a usual list price between £1,139 and £1,478 ex. VAT), plus 10MB of data (excluding international roaming and texts), Wi-Fi access via The Cloud, 24/7 telephone support, insurance, and Microsoft Office applications preinstalled. The data packages can be upgraded to higher volumes for increased monthly payments.
