The Ides of March have just past us by, and its time to start preparing for the spring!

Springtime is a time of rejuvenation. It’s a time when the flowers start to grow and when people come out of hiding after a long winter. Its also a time for spring cleaning and removing the old junk in exchange for the newer items.

When it comes to cleaning out Electronics, there are always precautions that have to be taken. Some peaces contain harmful chemicals so they shouldn’t go into a garbage can.

Renting Notebooks, Laptops, Netbooks.

Being seen at a Convention or Tradeshow and having the newest technology is a wonderful first impression. You present the look of being up to date and exciting without even saying a word yet.

Technology is a field that is growing at an astounding pace. Computers fall into a very unique catagory of “by the time I can buy it, its already obsolete.” Advances are sometimes small but always coming.

This means it is very hard to stay at the forefront of technology without spending a lot of money many times over and over to keep getting the newest machines. Plus buying newer and newer machines leaves you with a growing trail of older machines.

Enter Notebook, Laptop, Netbook rentals!

When it comes to your big day to present, you want to have the technology de jour, but then after a week, you may have no need for it anymore.

Vernon Technology Solutions rents high-end and high quality notebooks, laptops, and netbooks, that will give you the image you want for the time you need it, and then you can return the product when you are finished.

Why leave yourself using an old and broken machine during a convention? or why end up with a new machine that looks lovely but has a whole bunch of expensive features you never plan to use ever again?

Renting or Leasing Brand Name Computers

Its a question that we ask about everything these days…
Should I buy a brand name product or should I buy a no name clone.

When it comes to computers there is no overarching answer, but there are reasons to choose one over the other. For a computer rental or lease, a Brand name computer is the better choice most of the time.

Why?
- Easier to find parts, components and drivers.
- Longer warranties and the warranties are more widespread.
-Higher quality machines
- Brand name companies can afford to make the machines more durable. They also want to keep the products reliable to ensure consumer loyalty.
- More Tech support available

No name clones have their advantages, but for a rental it is not a smart move unless you really know your way around the machine and are willing to do the repairs yourself or with smaller groups.

No names may be cheaper to fix but they break more often. For a rental, it would be better to have the working product longer.

Vernon Technology Solutions only rents brand name equipment and we offer warranties on all rentals. Vernon leases and rents Computers, Projectors, Monitors from many top of line brand name companies including HP, IBM, Apple, Toshiba, Samsung, Dell, and much more.

When it comes to renting or leasing- you want quality products and Vernon Technology Solutions has high quality, Grade A machines available for you. Give us a call today or visit us online at www.vernontech.ca

Renting and Leasing computers can be a very wise choice. There are times when it pays off to rent a machine for the amount of time you need it and then return it rather than letting it sit in storage and depreciate.

• For Tradeshows, Conventions, and other such 1 shot events, you might want a newer laptop or large screen display. These devices will only be used for a few days so why would you want to purchase them at full price.
• For Travel, renting a laptop or notebook allows you to bring your information and any important documents with you. When renting also keep an eye out for mobile internet sticks such as the Rogers Rocket. These devices let you bring instant internet connectivity with you wherever you go.
• For office communication, Video Conferencing is getting a lot of hype these days, but why pay for expensive hardware? Leasing out the Video Conferencing Hardware and just buying the Software as a service could be a great way to hold onto your money.
• For Startup companies, renting Desktops, servers, networking devices, laptops and more is a great way to keep the initial cost low, by not having to drop a lump sum, but it also allows you to test each product as it will fit in your new business.

These are just a few examples of places where renting has a distinct advantage over buying.

Vernon Technology Solutions is a computer rental and leasing company with over 25 years of experience. Vernon has computers of all shapes and sizes available. Whether you want a high end device lik a server or a mobile workstation down to a mini-notepad or an ultra mobile pc.

Vernon Technology Solutions also rents many other pieces of IT equipment including Laptops, notebooks, switches, servers, printers, scanners, LCD displays, LFD displays, Mobile Internet with the Rogers Rocket, and more.
