Resources for Computer Rentals

Choosing computer rentals over purchasing is a big decision, especially when figuring out the cost. Your business may only save money by renting if you need to replace your computers with newer models every year or less anyway.

Most computer rental companies don't make it easy to calculate your pricing and costs of computer rentals, because they won't give you prices up front. They'll ask you to request a quote from them instead, depending on how many units you need and your location. Your decisions also include:

1. Renting computers by the month or week

2. Determining on desktop or laptop computer rentals

3. Choosing between Windows-based PCs or Mac computers

Get the best deal for desktop computer renting and leasing

Almost every business will need desktop computers, and the best thing is renting multiple units of the same brand. You also must make sure all the computers you rent have the same version of Windows installed so all your computers are compatible.

Look at pricing for laptop computer rental

You shouldn't need to rent as many laptop computers as you would desktop ones. A few small businesses may exclusively use laptops, but mostly you'll need a handful for a few employees to compliment the desktops you have.

Find Apple/Macintosh computer rental services if your business prefers them

Businesses that focus on artistic and creative design usually find that Macintosh computers work best for them. Any computer rental company should offer Mac desktops and/or laptops for rent, as Apple gradually increases its presence in the business world.

• Check with your computer rental service to see what software is included on the units. Find out if they have any restrictions on what software you can install.
