Temporary Computers are Perfect for High Tech Companies

When it comes to temporary technology, some of the biggest users are small businesses. Small businesses typically have a bigger need for temporary technology due to the fact that they run on a restricted budget that doesn't allow them to purchase some of the more high-end equipment. However, even bigger companies have the need for temporary technology as well, including high tech companies.

Rentacomputer.com is a high tech company itself and has been one for nearly 25 years. With all that time in the industry, Rentacomputer.com understands the needs of companies that live in the high tech world. It is important for high tech companies to have the best equipment along with the best advice, which is exactly what a Tech Travel Agent can give you.

Your Tech Travel Agent is your single point of contact for your entire rental period. What that means is from the moment you call to get a rental quote to the moment your equipment is picked up and delivered back to Rentacomputer.com you deal with a single person. No jumping around from department to department or getting put on hold for hours on end. Every experience is a personal one that is unique to you and your situation.

In addition to that, whenever high tech companies rent a computer or other piece of technology from Rentacomputer.com, they have the opportunity to have it delivered by a local, professional technician. Once the technician delivers your equipment, he will also set up and test everything to ensure that it is working properly. Once you are done, the same technician will come back out, take everything down and off your hands for you, allowing you to be worry free about all the logistics of your rental as your Tech Travel Agent takes care of everything for you.

No matter what type of technology rental you need, whether it be a temporary desktop for new employee training, a server rental for a virtualization project or a projector for a company presentation, Rentacomputer.com can handle the acquisition, delivery, installation and return of everything you need, no matter what you need, when you need it or where you need it delivered. With nearly 25 years in the technology rental industry, Rentacomputer.com knows a thing or two about temporary technology for companies in the high tech industry.

Temporary Acer Desktops Can Help in a Pinch

Need a replacement desktop while yours is getting fixed or while you are on the road at a convention or conference?

However, many people struggle with exactly what kind of desktop to get, though if you want something easy to move and easy to place then Acer might be the way to go.

Acer desktops are typically smaller and sleeker than your average desktop PC, allowing you to place one virtually anywhere you want. Rentacomputer.com offers many Acer desktop computer rentals that are perfect for any situation.

Acer desktops are usually made with high quality components and software and are perfect for handling your everyday computing needs.

Help Manage The Busiest Times of the Year with a Fax Machine Rental

Have you ever had the need to rent a fax machine? Probably not, but that shouldn't stop you from considering one now. Fax machine rentals from Rentacomputer.com are perfect whenever you need an extra machine temporarily for corporate events or company marketing projects.

Renting a fax machine is also a good idea if you or your company is experiencing a busy season and a lot of information needs to be sent out in a short period of time. Renting a fax machine as opposed to buying one can temporarily offset the stress and hassle that normally comes when you only have a single machine, which makes a rental perfect if you need a helping hand.

I know what you're thinking, "Who in the world uses a fax machine anymore?" Well, even though you may think fax machines are as outdated as pagers, modern office fax machines can do a lot more than just fax. Rentacomputer.com offers a wide array of fax solutions with machines that are capable of faxing, scanning and copying from top brands like HP and Brother.

Fax machine rentals from Rentacomputer.com are also perfect for temporary office setups and go nicely with some of Rentacomputer.com's other office product rentals.

Put on a Show at Your Convention Booth with Plasma Display Rentals

You may have thought about renting a desktop PC or a laptop for your next convention, trade show or conference, but have you ever considered a Plasma Screen Rental? Whether you have or haven't, Rentacomputer.com has a wide selection of HDTVs, LCDs and Plasma screens that are perfect for that short term technology rental.

A Plasma TV Rental is a very popular rental item for a trade show booth. Some people like to make elaborate PowerPoint presentations and these look excellent on the show floor when displayed on a flat panel HDTV or standing plasma display. A Plasma TV Rental provides you with "in your face" marketing for anybody and everybody that happens to pass by your booth.

One thing you will have to consider is whether to rent a plasma or an LCD. The main difference between the two is that LCD screens can suffer from motion blur. However, in most models, especially at 120Hz or 240Hz, this isn't a problem.

In addition to that, plasma screens can display blacks more accurately. However, they do suffer from "burned in" images. In most cases plasma screens are better for televisions larger than 50", though if you are looking for a smaller television, your best bet is to go with an LCD screen.

Another thing to consider is whether to go for full 1080p HD or the cheaper 720p. This is becoming less of an issue today as 720p TVs are progressively being phased out. However, nearly two-thirds of all HDTVs now come with a 108-p HD resolution thanks to less pixels on the screen. However, this isn't really noticeable, especially with TVs that are smaller than 40".

This is just a fraction of the information one should consider before looking into a specific Plasma TV Rental. Thankfully, Rentacomputer.com has highly trained Tech Travel Agents that can answer any and all of your questions as well as set you up with your ideal Plasma TV Rental.

So the next time you think you may need or want a Plasma Screen or HDTV at your next trade show booth, consider the experts at Rentacomputer.com. With over 20 years in the technology rental business, you know you are going with a company you can count on.

Why Laptops are Still Important

In the ever changing, ever advancing world of technology it seems that various devices become outdated faster and faster. Smartphones are now owned by a majority of cell phone users, tablets are growing at an explosive rate, and many TVs are now basically computers. With the rapid change that has hit the technological world, one question has begun to emerge. Is a laptop still important?

This may seem like a dumb question, but there is a feeling that we are entering into what one tech giant has called the "Post-PC Era". With the rise in popular mobile computing platforms such as smartphones and tablets, the question as to whether or not traditional computers, such as the laptop, are still important remains to be seen. I, however, believe that the answer to this question is a resounding yes. Here are a few reasons why.

# 1: Laptops are more powerful.
While new and more powerful tablets are being released almost daily, the iPad mini and 4th generation iPad announced yesterday for example, they cannot yet compare to the power and performance a laptop can produce. This is particularly evident in applications that use a lot of processing power such as video production, photo editing, audio engineering, and so forth. Laptops also run full fledged operating systems such as Windows 7 and Mac OS X that allow people to do so much more than simply using the interface provided by an "app". While the applications on tablets are improving and are continually growing, they are still not "up to par" with a full-fledged computer.

# 2: Laptops have a physical keyboard and trackpad.
Yes, touch screens are great and are the way of the future, but there is something to be said for a traditional keyboard and the use of a trackpad to interact with a computer. Both are interfaces that have been around for years and are continually improving. Typing on a keyboard is much easier than trying to type on a full-sized tablet touchscreen, and will also keep the display clean of fingerprints. A trackpad also allows for a precise selection on the screen, more so than even a finger can provide.

# 3: Laptops are still a better value.
While tablets are starting to split into many different categories ranging from 7-inch $200 tablets to 10-inch $800 tablets, they are still not the same "bang for your buck" as a laptop. There are many laptops that can be found for half  the price of a top of the line tablet that do twice as much. Laptops not only allow you to browse the web, the main activity on a tablet, but they also allow you to use programs not available on a tablet, at least not yet. Programs such as Microsoft Office, Apple's Aperture, and many other advanced programs are made for a traditional computer.

In the end, it remains to be seen if the world continues to use laptops like they have in the past, or if tablets will become the dominant mobile product. While I believe that laptops are still a vital necessity, the ever advancing technology in tablets could shift the scales toward this relatively new, and very exciting product category.

Regardless of your preference for laptops or tablets, you can rent both at rentacomputer.com.

Laptop Rules for Airport Travelers

Carrying a laptop through an airport should never have to be a hassle. But sadly, for most people it is. With the increase in TSA security measures, taking your expensive laptop through the airport can be downright horrible. However, if you follow some very easy and simple rules, you should have no trouble at all getting your laptop onto the plane and won't have to worry about it being lost, confiscated or damaged.

Rule #1: Make Sure You Have the Proper Security Measures in Place
An airport is one of the most popular locations for laptop thieves. No matter how well you guard your laptop, there is always a chance that it will get stolen. So, the best course of action to take here is to have a solid plan if this unfortunate event happens. Make sure to back up all of your files and have some security measures in place on your laptop to ensure that thieves cannot access your personal files. When backing up your files, it is recommended that you use an external hard drive. External hard drives are quick, easy and only run you around $100.

Rule #2: Don’t Argue with Security About Your Laptop
Airport security is allowed to confiscate your laptop at any time, no questions asked. If they ask you for your laptop, then all you can do is politely hand it over to them with no arguments. If you put a up a fight, you could lose more than your laptop, specifically, your seat on your flight. In most countries there is no need to worry about airport security taking your laptop. Unless there is a valid reason you should have no problem with security and your laptop.

Rule #3: Going Through Security Checkpoints
Whenever you go through a security checkpoint in an airport, be sure to remove your laptop from its case and put it in a bin by itself. Some laptop bags are now being allowed at airports. If you are using a checkpoint-friendly laptop bag, then you may not be asked to remove your laptop from its case. However, if you are asked by security to remove your laptop then revert back to Rule #2 and don’t argue! After this, the next thing you need to do is remember to pick up your laptop. Surprisingly enough, forgetting to retrieve your laptop is a very common occurrence at airports. The best way to make sure it doesn't happen is to attach a label to your laptop with your name and phone number on it.

Rule #4: Take Your Laptop onto the Plane
You may be tempted to check your laptop in with the rest of your luggage, but this is a big no no because chances are you will never see it again. If you are going to check it in with the rest of your luggage, then be sure to at least put it into another bag. You shouldn't check it in with your luggage in its own bag because people will be highly tempted to steal it. Your best option is to personally carry it on board with you. Nearly every airline will allow you to carry your laptop on with you. You will be told to keep it turned off until takeoff, but after that, you are free to do whatever you want. A new option that some airlines now offer is the availability of WiFi. You will usually incur a fee of around $10. But if you don’t want to take your laptop on board with you, then at least put it in a regular luggage bag, hidden from prying eyes.

 Follow these four simple rules and you should have no problem taking your laptop on any flight you take. You could avoid all of these hassles, however, by renting a laptop from Rentacomputer.com. Rentacomputer.com can have your laptop rental ready and waiting for you at your destination, allowing you to skip all the hassles of taking a laptop through airport security and making sure that nothing happens to your laptop by allowing you to leave it at home.

Need a Long-Term Solution? Desktop Computer Leases Are the Way to Go!

Computer rentals are perfect if you need short-term, on-the-spot technology in a pinch. But if you are looking for something more long term, then a rental is not what you want to go with, especially if you don’t want to spend a lot of money. For situations where time makes a computer rental unmanageable, Rentacomputer.com offers you the ability to lease a desktop computer instead.

 Desktop computer leases are perfect if your company is setting up a temporary office that will be running for a significant amount of time. A desktop computer leasing solution can appropriately meet the needs you or you business have for long term technology that is still temporary.

Another great option for desktop computer leases from Rentacomputer.com includes leases for computer training labs. If you or your company are setting up a computer lab for a purpose such as training, and you will need to keep the lab running for a year or more, then leasing is the option you need.

By leasing the computers instead of renting them you can keep your training lab running and return your lease once the lab is discontinued. This allows you to skip out on purchasing pricy equipment that you may only use for that particular training lab.

If your company is considering hiring temporary employees for those busy times of the year, then a computer lease could also benefit you. Instead of purchasing a desktop to suit a temporary employee or subcontractor, you can lease one and not have to deal with having unused technology once that employee has fulfilled his use.

Renting a desktop computer can be a great business decision if you need temporary technology for any situation. But if you need something long term, nothing beats a desktop computer lease from Rentacomputer.com. With over 25 years in the business of computer and technology rentals, nobody knows the business better than Rentacomputer.com.

Renting Technology For Advertising & Marketing Exhibitions

There is a growing market for technology rentals in the advertising and marketing industry. One of the most important applications of technology rentals in this industry is setup and delivery of identity branding scheme and marketing campaign exhibits to clients, in such a way that they get to experience the brands and campaigns that your company has created for them.

Exhibiting brand identity and marketing campaigns can necessitate various degrees of immersion in the exhibitions, depending on the nature of the brand and marketing. For example, some exhibitions may require the temporary installation of an immersive environment that will surround the targeted market in a wholistic experience of the product that a client is trying to market. Others may only require a couple of computers or a flat-panel display to show video and audio of ads. However extensive a marketing exhibition is, applicable rentals can be organized under two general headings: Computer Rentals and Audio-Visual Rentals.

Computer Rentals - iPads & Tablet PCs
The most popular computer rentals for the advertising and marketing industry are iPad and tablet PC rentals. With tablet computer rentals you can exhibit any kind of software marketing campaign that runs on that tablet or any kind of video presentation of the product being marketed. Kiosk rentals are an excellent compliment to any tablet computer rental because they allow you to set up tablet computer kiosks where users can access ads and marketing exhibitions.

Audio-Visual Rentals
Applicable audio-visual rentals for the advertising and marketing industry can range wildly from projectors and flat panel displays to lighting and sound systems. What kinds of AV rentals you will need will ultimately be a function of the degree of immersion you want your clients to experience when exhibiting your branding and marketing schemes. Tech Travel Agents with Rentacomputer.com are capable of pulling together all needed AV rentals and can have entire stages installed, complete with lighting and video.

Temporary Network Solutions

If you want to get everything you need out of your Large Quantity Laptop or iPad Rental, you will also need to rent technology that can keep your laptops or iPads connected and networked. With a supporting network comprised of server and server peripheral components, and with the help of our experienced Tech Travel Agents, you can scale up a network of virtually any size that is more than capable of supporting even the largest quantity of laptop rentals.

Wireless Bridges
In order to get everything you need out of your large quantity laptop rental, you will need technology to support a temporary network system that will keep your laptops connected. With a supporting network consisting of these three components, and with the help of our experienced Tech Travel Agents, you can scale up a network of virtually any size that is more than capable of supporting even the largest quantity of laptop rentals.

Routers
A router is another piece of networking hardware that delivers packets of data to networks or terminals, but unless it has a bridge component built into it, it will only rout forward and not establish a two-way connection. So if you want to set up a supporting network for your rentals, you would bridge outside data to your router(s) that would forward the information to any relevant terminals or computers.

Network Servers
A network server is basically a computer that is given the sole task of processing queries for data from a client or user of a connected terminal and delivering the requested data to the relevant computer terminals that are networked to that central server.

Whatever kind of network solution your large quantity rental requires, let a tech travel agent procure the technology you need into a single Network Rental solution.

Make Your Event More Professional with a Lectern or Podium Rental

I bet you thought Rentacomputer.com only offered up technology rentals, didn't you? Well, so did I, until I discovered Lectern and Podium Rentals while browsing the huge list of rental options available from Rentacomputer.com. But then I thought to myself, "Why would somebody need to rent a podium or a lectern?" Surprisingly, there are lots of reasons why a lectern or podium rental could help you out with your next conference or large group meeting.

Podiums and lecterns make for fantastic presentation pieces, especially if you are giving a speech, have a lot of papers or notes, or if you are using a laptop, projector or microphone. In addition to that, a podium rental can be great for a conference or meeting as they allow you to organize all of your materials for your presentation onto one stand.

What's great about a podium or lectern rental from Rentacomputer.com is that there are a ton of different styles to choose from.

Some podium and lectern rentals come with integrated wireless microphones, which helps eliminate the clutter and need for a separate one. There are even multipurpose ones that come with connections for laptops and projectors, which saves you a lot of time during setup, and some even come with keyboard trays, shelves, pencil trays, wrist supports and the ability to tilt and roll, meaning no matter what your situation is, there is a podium or lectern to fit it.

I know podium and lectern rentals may not be the first thing you think of when renting for an event, conference, convention or meeting, but they could be just thing to make whatever you are doing seem fancier or more professional which, as you probably already know, can make all the difference when trying to win over an audience or impress some of your company's higher-ups.

If you are going to use your tablet in hazardous or demanding environments, then you should also check out Rentacomputer.com's Rugged Tablet Rentals.

Slate Tablet Computers are also essential pieces of equipment that are virtually the same as a Tablet PC without the physical keyboard. This just means that you have to use the touchscreen keyboard instead, though almost all slate tablets come with the ability to add a keyboard to them. Apple's iPad is definitely the most popular slate tablet on the market, though other companies, like Samsung and Asus, also have some pretty remarkable devices as well.

And if a Tablet PC doesn't do it for you and neither does a slate, you can always go with a convertible. Convertible Tablet Computers are very similar to laptops, though they have the ability to switch between laptop mode and tablet mode. The screen is touchscreen and you can also manipulate it to fold it down to create a tablet or fold it up to create a laptop.

No matter what you want or need, whether it be a tablet PC, slate or convertible, Rentacomputer.com has it. Not only does a Tablet PC Rental from Rentacomputer.com guarantee you the latest technology available but you also get local delivery and installation anywhere in the country with all the logistics handled by Rentacomputer.com. So the next time you need a Tablet PC, slate or convertible, or you think one would just be convenient to have, consider a Tablet PC Rental from Rentacomputer.com.

MacBook Pro Rentals

Rentacomputer.com offers a lot in the way of computer and laptop rentals. With everything from full-size laptops to netbooks and even tablet rentals, there is nothing you can't rent. However, if you truly don't know what you want, consider going with an Apple MacBook Pro Rental. MacBook Pro rentals are some of the most popular laptop rentals that Rentacomputer.com has to offer, and with good reason.

The Apple MacBook Pro is one of the most popular netbooks on the market right now. They are lightweight, portable, sleek and powerful machines that are capable of handling nearly anything you throw at them. Apple has a long history of making top-notch products and these laptops are definitely a testament to that fact.

Rentacomputer.com offers a plethora of both MacBook Pro rentals as well as new MacBook Air rentals, each of which can be customized to your exact specifications. There are three different sizes of each device. Both the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air come in 13", 15" and 17" varieties, each offering a little something special for your portable computing needs.

One of the biggest features on both the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air is the battery life. One of the biggest concerns with mobile consumers is battery life. People want to make sure that whatever they will be taking on the road with them will be able to stay powered long enough so that they will not have to lug around a power cable with them wherever they go. Apple's MacBook Pro and MacBook Air both feature an advanced built-in battery that lasts hours longer than standard laptops on a single charge, allowing you to stay at work longer while on the road.

In addition to that, these devices feature high-performance NVIDIA graphics combined with a vivid LED-backlit display to give you excellent viewing conditions under any circumstances. And while these graphics aren't really designed for hardcore applications like gaming, they are more than capable of allowing you to watch videos or movies while on the road.

So, the next time you are in need of a high-class laptop on a temporary basis, consider an Apple MacBook Pro rental from Rentacomputer.com. Not only will you have one of the most popular pieces of technology on the market but also the assurance of going with a company that has over 25 years in the business of computer and laptop rentals.

Rack-Mount Server rentals are ideal if your company needs an extra storage unit for company information while you are testing various types of storage solutions.

Whether you need a short-term rental or a long-term lease, we have the right kind of server for your needs.

All-in-One PC Rentals

All-in-One computers offer a lot of different benefits. First off, they don't require any additional equipment due to the fact that everything you need, hardware-wise, is built directly into the monitor. Technology trends have seen monitor sizes getting thinner and smaller. CTR monitors are no longer in use, so companies have started taking all the components found in a desktop tower and putting them behind an LCD panel. The monitor, CPU, speakers, hard drive and everything else you find in a computer are now neatly packed behind a sleek looking screen.

In addition to being lot neater, All-in-One PCs are also highly portable. There are just some things a desktop computer can do that a laptop cannot, but it is an extreme hassle to try and travel with a desktop, trust me, I know from experience. However, with an All-in-One, traveling is as simple as traveling with a laptop because you only need to take one piece of equipment with you. It is very simple to just unhook your All-in-One from the wall, throw it in a case and take it with you whenever you need to.

However, a lot of people don't like doing that for fear of damaging their device. That is why Rentacomputer.com offers a full line of All-in-One PC Rentals. With Rentacomputer.com you can pick from a plethora of different makes and models of all-in-one devices or completely customize your own with everything you need or want.

All-in-One PC rentals are perfect for anybody who is traveling to a trade show, convention or conference and needs the power of a desktop with some of the portability of a laptop. Rentacomputer.com can deliver your all-in-one PC directly to you at your hotel, convention center or trade show booth. In addition to that, the local tech that delivers your device will set up and test everything to ensure that it is working to your specifications. Once you're done, the tech will come back out, disassemble everything and take it off your hands, leaving all the hassles of logistics up to Rentacomputer.com.

So, the next time you are headed to a convention across the country, or you just need some replacement tech around the office, consider an All-in-One PC Rental from Rentacomputer.com. With offerings like an Apple iMac Rental and local delivery and installation, as well as more than 25 years of experience in the computer and technology rental industry, you know that when you go with Rentacomputer.com you are going with a company you can depend on.
