Want a MacBook Air for £949? Pop over to PC World's website and order the skinny Apple and an HSDPA wireless broadband package from carrier 3 and the retailer will knock £250 off the price of the Air.

Catches? Well...

not a great deal - as you can get the 3 modem for free and £10 per month

they want what £35 a month for 18 months ? mmm

if they dropped the price of the Air + 3 Modem to like £399 then it might change my mind 😀

Yeah, £10/month for 1gb of use is still a good deal. Who else in the UK runs anything similar?

Have you or anyone else used the 3 modem?

Is it easy to configure?

Does it work well?
