UK operator is now offering the Asus’ Eee PC 901 with embedded 3G connectivity.

Orange is offering the device to its customers for £25 a month.

This follows the initial Asus laptop/mobile broadband dongle deal it launched in August, which the company says has attracted significant popularity.

Orange also says it intends to continue growing its laptop business among both consumers and business customers.

"By introducing the Eee PC 901 with integrated connectivity, we’re now making it even easier for customers to purchase a flexible solution that allows them to access the internet when they are out and about,” said Francois Mahieu, director of devices at Orange UK.
