I really wonder who would (basically) rent a laptop. You can get used ones so cheap.

My employer leases our computers for 3-5 years. I get a new model when my lease runs out. I don’t really mind the guaranteed refresh except having to move all my stuff over. I would be way more pissed if they moved to BYOD.

businesses used to rent computers all the time but im not sure how many do in this millenia.

This doesn’t seem aimed at businesses.

yeah just responding in general. If it was cheap enough I could see doing it but it would have to be quite a savings because I keep my stuff going for awhile. Figure the yearly cost could not be any higher than 20% new but the cost would either have to go down over time or they would need to swap out for a new one each year.
