When to Rent a Laptop Computer

Businesses are always leasing or buying computer equipment but when and why should you rent a laptop or notebook? Maybe you need technology on short notice or within a short amount of time. Maybe you're a holding a training class and you need a large quantity of computers for a short amount of time. Maybe your current order of laptops is on back order but your staff needs to get started right now. Maybe you need a wireless computer for travel. These are all great reasons to considering renting a laptop!

Most people confuse renting with leasing. Renting is flexible and generally for the short-term. Leasing is a fixed arrangement. While canceling a lease will usually lead to a severe penalty, renting can be canceled or extended at any time without any penalty at all. Renting requires no capital budget and can be done simply with a company credit card. It's just as easy as purchasing office supplies. Rental companies have expert computer techs ready to deliver, install and test your laptop right there at your office, training room, trade show booth, convention, conference, or seminar. They also always have a backup plan just in case the unexpected happens.

What are some other reasons for renting laptops?

- Temporary Offices can be set up with laptop, printers, copiers, and fax machine rentals. Hardware will be configured to your company specifications and installed anywhere in the United States or Canada. Such offices can be set up in hotel rooms, trailers, warehouses, and convention centers and for state and federal government agencies such as FEMA, the FBI, and the IRS. Legal firms, television networks covering hurricane disasters, movie studios on location, construction sites, and corporate mergers and takeovers have all take advantage of temporary offices.

- Temporary Employees will need temporary technology. Renting laptop computers helps to coordinate the installation and removal of computers, printers, and other technology for any length of time.

Laptops, Blunders, and War UPDATED !

How We Fail Technology is an old article I wrote in November of 2006.

After learning today the state of Ohio has volunteered me to be a victim of identity theft I updated the story to include recent events in Ohio from the summer of 2007.

In a nutshell I just can't understand why data is left on laptops or other portable devices in an era when remote access is so secure and prevalent.

In the computer rental business we have customers every day that rent laptops and use remote access to get to their sensitive data. Yet our government continues to put us at risk with their practices that run contrary to common sense.
