Are Free Laptop Offers For Real?

As you might suspect many of the free laptop offers online are very questionable as far as legitimacy goes. You start the offer and realize you have to buy a car to get the free laptop and suddenly it’s not such a great deal. Like most people you stop trying to get the so-called-free laptop. Yet, there are some offers which are genuine.


Like for instance the free MacBook Pro offer which required that you get additional people to participate in the offer in order to win your free MacBook. Generally, offers which require you to get others to participate are less likely to be bogus. It’s like having a false wedding in front of hundreds of witnesses. The more witnesses the less likely the wedding is fake. The same is true of freebie offers. No sponsor wants too many people witnessing their false advertising. The more people involved as a group the more likely the offer is legitimate.

With the MacBook Pro offer you were required to refer family and friends and complete offer. The online sponsors all have the word free in their titles, so you can recognize them. The all operate on the same premise. You complete an offer and then several friends and family must also complete one of the offers before you can get the free gift.

Most people who have attempted to get a free laptop gave up long before they qualified to get the laptop because the sponsor made the process so cumbersome and costly to begin with. Why would a person looking for something for free want to pay for all those initial offers? The reasoning behind the process is doesn’t make sense. The offers range from postal stamp subscriptions to makeup. If you’re truly seeking a free laptop you’re probably not going to spend your limited funds on buying stamps online or makeup. That is luxury living which you probably cannot afford. You’re not going to take advantage of the offers, so you will not be eligible for a free laptop.

Until the sponsors come up with a realistic way to reel in customers, the likelihood that many people will complete the process to obtain free laptops is minimal. Free attracts the wrong people to the promotion. Perhaps the right method to use would be a very deep discount. Then people who have disposable income would be attracted to the offer and the sponsors could ask the participants to buy additional services and items that they could actually benefit from and pay to own.

The participant not only has disposable income, but their friends and family also have disposable income and would probably also be interested in a laptop at a deep discount. A laptop that’s worth $2,000 offered at $500 would be very attractive. It would draw out people who really wanted the item as well. If you’re shopping and you see an item for one-fourth of what it normally costs, you get excited and you’re probably ready to buy. If all you have to do is have a few friends buy a postal stamp subscription and some makeup, they’ll probably do it just to help you. You win and the sponsor wins too.
