Although a certain computer may seem like the perfect choice based on the specs given by a computer company, the only way to really know if a machine is the right fit for you is to test it out. Demoing various computers on-site gives your team (and treasurer) the peace of mind of knowing that you’ve selected the right computers for your new computer lab. Here are just a few ways that computer rentals can help you build the perfect computer lab for your school or business.

Purpose and use

The first thing that any IT team should consider when developing a computer lab is the use and purpose of the computers.
