Many times people don't understand exactly why anyone would want to rent a computer. "Why not just buy one?". Often times businesses rent large amounts of equipment for short projects such as training 100 employees for a new program. It would be much more cost effective to rent the 100 computers needed for 1 or 2 months than to go all out and buy it.
