NatWest has announced its new student deals and they include a £50 voucher off 3′s Mobile Broadband. They also include £100 off an ASUS laptop.

Fear not though, they are still offering a student railcard.

The deal is obviously trying to attract the more tech-savvy students who consider these sorts of things a necessity for student life. For me the necessities were cheap cider and cubicles in the library where you could fall asleep while pretending to work. How times have changed.

When I was chatting to Ewan about this he said, “when I was a lad, all you got from the bank was a smile, 10 quid’s worth of book tokens and a young person’s railcard when you signed up as a student.” But then again, Ewan thinks that policemen are getting younger and he remembers when “all this was fields”.

If you are a student, you can find out more here.
