Don't bother, might as well just buy a decent laptop or netbook outright. For the amount you pay over the contract you could get something much better.

Do you actually need mobile broadband?
If you really want it the best option is to get a MiFi from 3 - it's a little device that sits separate to your computer and sets up a wireless network which more than one device can access at once.

No point getting it just for the sake of it, fixed broadband is a much better deal and faster.
I would assume if you can find the exact same laptop it would have a holder for a sim card but you'd want to check with the supplier tbh.

Look for WWAN, if it's got that you can put a sim in it.
