The Elonex Webbook is a mini laptop being promoted exclusively by The Carphone Warehouse – for ‘free’ with a new two-year Orange broadband account, or separately for £249 with XP and £219 with Ubuntu.

The Elonex Webbook is pretty much the cheapest mini laptop around, and feels it. You get good storage capacity, a relatively clear and bright matt screen and a usable keyboard.So how does it fair against other netbook offerings on the market? The 10.2-inch screen will match the Asus 1000 and MSI Wind for its quality, and the keyboard was easy to use with.

The trackpad, although not suffering the same annoying fate as the HP Mini-Note, was a bit on the flaky side to use and the annoyance of not being able to easily turn the tap click feature off for us made it almost unusable (I seem to flex my finger too much).
However (and here is the interesting proposition) if you’re willing to sign a 24- month contract at £25 a month with Orange, you get it for free. If that’s not appealing enough you can buy it without contract for £249.99 making it £30 cheaper than the Advent 4211, although you will be getting less memory.
It might not be the prettiest looking netbook on the market, but if you are thinking of getting a mobile broadband card from Orange in the near future upgrading the account to get one of these for free my be something you should seriously consider doing.
