Apple Mac Mini Rentals

Apple Mac Mini Rentals Apple’s Mac Mini is the worlds smallest desktop computer. It sports a slim 1.4 inch thick (or thin in this case) seamless unibody enclosure. Its carved from a single block of aluminum and is a tiny 7.7 inches square.

Just because this PC is small, doesnt mean it doesnt pack a punch. This Mac Mini Rental has twice the power of its predecessor. It features Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors. It also features either a 2.3GHz or 2.5GHz processor and up to 8GB or RAM. Apple’s newest and most advance operating system, the OS X Lion, is featured in the Mac Mini.

The Mac Mini has several ports. Built-in Thunderbolt technology lets you daisy-chain up to six peripherals to one port. The HDMI port lets you connect Mac mini to your HDTV and a built-in SDXC card slot makes it easy to transfer photos and videos from your digital cameras. Also, the new Mac Mini has a built-in power supply, so no more external power brick.

In the new model, Apple decided to try to make room in the new design by removing the optical drive. It may seem like a bad idea, but on the contrary. Not only is there room for extra features, but it also makes the Mac Mini much more affordable. Instead the Mac Mini fills that extra space with extra processing power, advanced graphics and a built-in power supply, which means no more external power brick.

Laptop Rentals for Traveling

Laptop Rentals for Business Travel When traveling on business or pleasure, its important to keep in mind that traveling with your own laptop might not be the best idea. Renting a laptop can be a better solution for several reasons.

Theft or Damage – With all the airport security, there is no telling who has potential access to your laptop or who may be tampering with it. You also have so many people handling your luggage that the possibility of the laptop being damaged is fairly high.

Data Security – If you have sensitive business data on your laptop, then you place it at risk by taking it to an airport.

The Solution – By renting a laptop from Rentacomputer you not only get the equipment you need, ready for use at your destination, but you also get the peace of mind. You know that your own expensive laptop and its data are safe. Additionally, you dont have to carry around the extra luggage or pay the fee to have another bag flown out with you. A laptop rental is convenient, affordable, and you get top to the line models that are practically new. A projector rental is also a smart choice for the same reasons.

Don’t Rent Hotel Projectors

Don't Rent Hotel Projectors There are several reasons not to rent hotel projectors. You may think you are saving time and taking advantage of the convenience the hotel offers, but you would be, more often than not, wrong. This could cost you unforeseen time, money, and frustration. Here are a few reasons why you shouldn’t rent projectors from a hotel:

Cost
Hotel’s often mark up their projector rental costs, just like most things you get at a hotel like food, because it provides a significant amount of the hotels revenue.

Old Equipment
Many hotels have equipment that is old and outdated. Hotels don’t typically upgrade or purchase new projectors because they don’t need them on a regular basis. So when renting a projector from the hotel you are most likely getting an old model, which may be faulty or even broken. These older models also lack the latest in technology improvements and may be poorly maintained.

Tech Support
Usually hotels lack experienced technical personnel. They will most likely send someone who has little knowledge on how to help you with an technical issues that may arise.

As an alternative, Rentacomputer.com offers Projector Rentals that are cost effective and top of the line. Additionally, we offer tech support for setup and any other issues that arise.

4GB Laptop Rental – RAM Options

4GB Laptop Rentals Random Access Memory (RAM) provides space for your computer to read and write data to be accessed by the CPU. The more RAM you have in your computer or laptop, the less your CPU must read data from your hard disk. This usually allows your computer or laptop to work considerably faster, as accessing data on RAM is many times faster than accessing it on a hard disk. RAM is volatile memory, so data stored in RAM stays there only as long as your computer is running. As soon as you turn the computer off, the data stored in RAM disappears.

2GB – 16GB RAM Options

Rentacomputer.com offers laptop rentals with a variety of memory capacities. 4GB Laptop Rentals are fairly common, due to their increase in speed. If you need a lot of processing power and are concerned with the speed that your laptop functions, you may need a laptop with 4GB or more. However, if you only need to perform simple, general tasks like word processing then a 2GB rental should be suitable.

High Definition Projector Rentals

HD Projector Rental If you need to present video that is quality contingent, and requires sharp and vibrant video quality to really impress your audience or get your message to them, then you need a high definition projector rental.

The first and most important aspect of a projector that everyone will notice the instant you power it up is the Sharpness and Clarity of High Definition Images. It will be hard to compare image quality unless the source is 1080p from HD DVD, Blu-ray or equivalent, otherwise, all HD projectors will look the same when comparing a non-HD image. A HD projector that cannot fully handle a HD image will have an apparent softness, and the image will have a slightly blurry or cloudy look to it as well as display digital noise.

HD Projector Rentals are great for situations like family movie night, sporting events, superbowl parties, weddings, and presentations that have video.

Plasma Screen Rentals

HDTV Rental You may have thought about renting a desktop PC or a laptop for your next convention, trade show or conference, but have you ever considered a Plasma Screen Rental? Whether you have or haven’t, Rentacomputer.com has a wide selection of HDTVs, LCDs and Plasma screens that are perfect for that short term technology rental.

A Plasma TV Rental is a very popular rental item for a trade show booth. Some people like to make elaborate PowerPoint presentations and these look excellent on the show floor when displayed on a flat panel HDTV or standing plasma display. A Plasma TV Rental provides you with “in your face” marketing for anybody and everybody that happens to pass by your booth.

One thing you will have to consider is whether to rent a plasma or an LCD. The main difference between the two is that LCD screens can suffer from motion blur. However, in most models, especially at 120Hz or 240Hz, this isn’t a problem.

In addition to that, plasma screens can display blacks more accurately. However, they do suffer from “burned in” images. In most cases, plasma screens are better for televisions larger than 50″, though if you are looking for a smaller television, your best bet is to go with an LCD screen.

Another thing to consider is whether to go for full 1080p HD or the cheaper 720p. This is becoming less of an issue today as 720p TVs are progressively being phased out. However, nearly two-thirds of all HDTVs now come with a 108-p HD resolution thanks to less pixels on the screen. However, this isn’t really noticeable, especially with TVs that are smaller than 40″.

This is just a fraction of the information one should consider before looking into a specific Plasma TV Rental. Thankfully, Rentacomputer.com has highly trained Tech Travel Agents that can answer any and all of your questions as well as set you up with your ideal Plasma TV Rental.

So the next time you think you may need or want a Plasma Screen or HDTV at your next trade show booth, consider the experts over at Rentacomputer.com. With over 20 years in the technology rental business, you know you are going with a company you can count on.

A Copier Rental is a quick way to mass produce important documents for potential customers at an event or conference.
