Orange UK is to offer Asus Eee PCs with embedded 3G as part of its 'connected laptop' mobile broadband tariffs.

The mobile operator launched the offering back in July - with consumer and business laptop packages - but has decided to ditch dongles on the £25-per-month tariff to make it easier for customers to get online.

The bundled Eees are also being upgraded from Asus' 900 Eee PC to the 901 - in either pink or black - which comes with 16GB Flash memory. The tariff allowances remain the same: 3GB data and 100 texts from the laptop. The contract term is also unchanged at two years.

Data revenues are helping Orange grow ARPU (average revenue per user) - and they now represent more than a fifth of its network revenues, according to Orange's Q3 financial report.
