Streamline Your Internship Program with Affordable Laptop Rentals from Rentacomputer.com

Internships can be an excellent way for companies to attract and develop talent while providing valuable experience for interns. But providing interns with laptops can be a significant financial burden for companies, especially if they need high-performance computers for tasks like graphic design, video editing, programming, data analysis, or other tasks that require computers with higher processing power, graphics capabilities, or memory.

Fortunately, laptop rentals provide a cost-effective and hassle-free solution for companies looking to streamline their internship programs.

Laptop rentals for internship programs

 

With Rentacomputer.com’s laptop rental service, companies can provide interns with high-performance laptops without having to bear the cost of purchasing new equipment.

Case Studies

A marketing agency had a summer internship program that required laptops for the interns to complete their tasks. They needed laptops that could handle the graphic design and video editing software necessary for the projects. However, purchasing new laptops for each intern was out of their budget, so they decided to rent the equipment for a fraction of the cost.

“Rentacomputer.com’s laptop rental service was a game-changer for us. The team helped us choose the right laptops for our needs and even customized them with the necessary software. The laptops were delivered right to our office, and the interns were able to start working immediately,” said a spokesperson for the agency.

A law firm was hosting a summer internship program and needed to equip its interns with laptops to complete legal research and draft documents. Because the interns didn’t require high-performance laptops, the law firm was able to take advantage of even better rental savings.

“Rentacomputer.com’s laptop rental service was a lifesaver for our summer internship program,” said the firm’s HR manager. “We were able to provide our interns with the equipment they needed without breaking our budget. The laptops were easy to set up and use, and the Rentacomputer.com team was very helpful in answering our questions.”

A Case for Rentals

According to a study by TechRadar, the average cost of a high-end laptop is around $1,500. If a company were to purchase ten laptops for its interns, the total cost would be $15,000. On the other hand, renting the same laptops from Rentacomputer.com would cost less than 40% of that for a three-month rental period. For higher volume orders (of more than 5 laptops) the savings can be even better.

Furthermore, if your interns don’t require a high-performance (or gaming) laptop and can instead use a “standard” laptop, your order could be significantly cheaper. With Rentacomputer.com, if you order 5 or more laptops for a 3-month rental your rates could be as low as $99 a month per laptop.

On average, an intern makes about $15 an hour. With an average internship of 3 months, one internship could cost a company around $7,200. That means adding a laptop rental to help increase your interns’ productivity would only cost an additional 4%. Most companies would agree that the value of having a preconfigured laptop at the disposal of interns is worth the expenditure of $7,500 as opposed to $7,200 per intern without a laptop.

Don’t forget: the number of devices, length of your rental period, time booked in advance, and specifications all affect your final rental rate.

To elaborate, a standard Windows laptop might cost $99 to rent for a week per device, but if you rent 5 devices for 3 months (or 12 weeks) the rate could be as low as $99 per device per month.

However, if you need a MacBook Pro for a week it may cost up to $195. But, again, if you rent 5 or more devices for 3 months or more, and book in advance, your rental rate could be significantly lower.

Renting laptops also eliminates the need for companies to allocate resources for maintenance, repair, and replacement costs. According to a report by Gartner, the average lifespan of a laptop is around three years. If a company were to purchase laptops for their interns, they would need to budget for replacement costs every three years, which can add thousands of dollars to the budget.

Renting laptops eliminates the need for companies to worry about these costs, as Rentacomputer.com takes care of maintenance and replacement if necessary. On top of that, Rentacomputer.com’s inventory is constantly being refreshed with new equipment as it becomes available to our suppliers located across the nation.
