Keeping up with the latest technology can be a challenge when you are pursuing a post-secondary education. However, in the modern world, it is nearly impossible to get through projects and lectures without a high-tech device on hand. If buying a brand new laptop is not an option for you, a rental service may be the perfect solution.
Our team at Doha Inc. is proud to offer a low-cost laptop rental program that supports the needs of students throughout their academic careers. If you or your child are getting ready to go off to school, continue reading to learn a few reasons why we recommend renting laptops for students.
One of the most obvious benefits of renting instead of buying is that you do not have to pay the upfront cost of a laptop. Today, the majority of laptops that you see on college campuses are worth well over $1500. The reality is, many parents and students can not afford these expensive devices. Rental programs make using a laptop much more affordable by charging a small, monthly fee. By simply looking after your device and returning it in good condition at the end of the school year, you will be able to reap all the benefits of premium technology without the financial burden.
Many students are surprised to find that their laptops can no longer support the latest updates. This can affect your ability to download popular applications such as Word or Excel. Not many students can afford to replace their laptop every time their operating system loses its capabilities. Renting a laptop gives you the flexibility to use the latest technology and change your device at any time without shelling out thousands of dollars every few years.
For many students, it is difficult to decide whether to rent a laptop or to settle for an inexpensive, low-quality device that fits within their budget. When you opt for a rental service, you have many more options to choose from due to the drastic reduction in cost. If you are studying a subject that requires complex computer programs such as video editing software, it is important to have a premium laptop that offers the speed and capabilities that you are looking for. At Doha Inc., our rental laptops come fully-equipped and are guaranteed to boot up in as little as 30 seconds.
Many post-secondary institutions demand that students have access to a laptop or at the very least, a home computer. There are, however, some schools that still allow students to rely 100% on the free computers available on site at their campus libraries. While this is a great, free alternative for those who can not afford a laptop or desktop computer, it is not entirely practical. Relying on library hours and computer availability can hinder a student’s ability to perform well in school. When renting a laptop, you can enjoy full access to your own device at home, in class, and elsewhere.
Taking notes by hand is a thing of the past. Today, the vast majority of students opt for voice recordings or typed notes on their laptops and tablets. This keeps all learning materials in one place, preventing the student from losing their lecture notes, and allowing them to quickly record important details. In order to keep up with your coursework, we highly recommend renting a laptop.
At Doha Inc., students have access to a range of devices from tablets to projection systems. If you would like to know more about the benefits of renting laptops for students, contact our team today.
