Computer Panic - Solved by Laptop Rental

Here in the office we have an old inside joke about what we call “computer panic”. You see we rent laptops, computers and audio video equipment to business and qualified individuals who have a short term need for some type of technology rental. Some of these short term rental needs come up at the last minute and arise from the strangest of situations.

The calls and e-mail requests we receive for our computer rentals are about 90% well thought out, planned in advance for some training class, sales presentation, trade show, or even a server migration project. But that still leaves a 10% margin for panic. From experience traveling with your technology is a risky proposition and an activity that could well find you in the grasp of your own computer panic some day.

Below is the complete text of an e-mail that just arrived. Just an example of that 10% we mentioned above. Don’t feel too bad for the customer because they did the right thing by contacting a Tech-Travel Agent and I am sure they will have a rental laptop in their hands soon.

Hello,
My husband just called from the airplane in a panic because he went off without his laptop. I called the hotel and they gave me your contact info. If you rent laptops in Atlanta, please contact my husband. His flight lands at around 6:30 pm Monday.

Thank you!

So as you can see "computer panic" is real thing, but with a Tech Travel Agent it has a real and easy solution.

Training Rentals

Rentacomputer has been providing training rentals for over 20 years now. Now what exactly is a "training rental" you may ask? Well a training rental is no more than a normal technology rental, but the rental is used for the training of new employees or new procedures. For example lets say your company opens up a new branch and they need to hire 20 or more people to fill up the new branch, but these 20 new employees also need to be properly trained for the new job which will require a class that you will have to set-up to explain and teach the job requirements to the new employees.

This can be made easy with technology rentals since you would not longer need the equipment after the job is complete and the new employees are trained. For a situation like this we would recommend that you should rent a projector so that the presentation can be shown up in front of the entire class easily. Also a computer rental for each of the employees would be a good suggestion since most of the time a company does not have many extra computers sitting around for people to receive the proper training on. A laptop is perfect for a training rental due to the portability of a laptop.

Also rentacomputer.com can preinstall your computer training software before hand on your computer rentals if needed. A training rental is also perfect for a short term employee that will only be with you for a a couple weeks to a month. You can find a full list of Training Rentals on our Classroom Training Page.
