Gotcha! Free PCs Can Cost a Bundle
With up-front fees, long-term ISP contracts, and rebates, some deals are too good to be true. We dish the dirt on dirt-cheap PCs.
Free-PC Buyer's Checklist
It's a good time to get a bargain-priced PC--if you know what you're doing and you avoid fine-print traps. Here are some tips on shopping for a free PC:
- Do the math. Often you can get Internet service--even
from the same ISP--for less than you can with a rebate or free PC offer. Ask
about other pricing plans and figure out what the entire contract--including
credit card interest--will cost you before you commit.
- Check to see
that the computer you'll get is up to snuff. Some PCs may be too anemic for
your needs or may require accessories or enhancements that sour the deal.
- Make sure you can get a local access number from the ISP.
-
Watch out for cancellation fees, and make sure you're willing to stay with
the ISP for the length of the contract.
- If you're willing to sign
a long-term Internet service contract, confirm that you'll be able to upgrade
to broadband or other service enhancements when they become available.
-
Make sure you'll get the support you need. Some offers require that you pay
for support or for a warranty.
