Did you know that you can rent a computer instead of buying one? If you’ve never heard of computer rentals before then you may be wondering why you would want to do this.

Common reasons to rent a computer include:

• To test out a new type of computer. Maybe you want to switch from a PC to a Mac or maybe you just want to try a new brand of PC. A rental lets you try before you buy so you don’t waste your money on products that you don’t like in the end.
• To temporarily replace broken computers in the office. If you have to send your computer out to be repaired then you might rent another computer to replace it so that you still have a computer to use during the downtime.
• For travel. Laptop rentals are particularly common for people who need a computer to travel but don’t need that computer for any other time than the vacation stretch.
• For conventions and classes. Computer rental is most common for events. People rent computers in order to demo their products (such as software) and to let the people at the event play around with it on a computer that doesn’t belong to them.

Those are just some reasons that you might rent a computer. Does computer rental make more sense now? I know it does to me!
