Computer Rentals 101

Computer rental is a generic term that we use for all technology rentals. This includes desktops, laptops, tablets, projectors, servers, office equipment (copiers, printers, etc...), flat screen TVs, and event & staging equipment rentals like sound systems, lighting equipment, video walls, pipe & drape, kiosks, video cameras and much more.

Computer Rental Rates

Wondering how much it costs to rent a computer, a laptop, or an iPad, etc.? Well, several factors go into determining the cost of a rental. The price all boils down to basic supply and demand at the install location. There are 8 major factors that effect the pricing of a rental:

1. Type of computer (desktop, laptop, tablet, etc...)
2. Computer specifications (RAM, hard drive, etc...)
3. Brand
4. Location
5. Quantity
6. Availability at target date
7. Amount of lead time
8. Peripherals (extensions, 3g, larger display, etc...)

When to Rent a Computer

Renting computers makes sense when you need to satisfy a temporary short term technology need. When you don't own the equipment (that can sometimes be fairly expensive) but only need to use it for a short period, that's a good time to rent. When your equipment breaks down or is being fixed and you need a replacement, it's a good idea to rent. Or perhaps you are wanting to impress a client and you want top notch equipment to do so, that is also a great reason to rent. We can load any software that you require, even company software.
