But what should you think about when deciding to rent a laptop? Read our laptop rental guide below to narrow down your search.

Find the right laptop for every situation

There are many different potential uses for laptop hire – and each of these scenarios will require a different kind of laptop:

Remote workers: In the post-Covid-19 age, many employers have adopted a work from home strategy for their employees. While specialised workers might require a more powerful machine, most of your employees will be just fine with a versatile, general-purpose laptop that can perform a variety of functions at an affordable rate. Providing them with a solid basic laptop will help them stay productive, wherever they’re working from.
Providing tens or even hundreds of students with a computer to complete a specific exam with no challenging software: You just need a ‘basic’ or ‘standard’ laptop to run one programme, especially if your staff is writing and editing.
Giving your event staff a versatile tool for presentations, note-taking, demonstrations, virtual meetings and distance working: Depending on what your staff is viewing, you may require laptops with full High Definition quality.
If they are using large files or playing a video you’ll benefit from a laptop with more RAM and possibly a more powerful processor.
For roles which require lots of graphics work, such as design or video editing, you’ll need a graphics processor, or GPU, card. Some laptops have an additional GPU built in, or they can be added to your current rental laptop in most cases. Chat to us for more advice!
In some roles, staff could potentially value having a detachable screen.
Providing off-site project teams with a tool they can use to work within partner offices or other sites and securely connect to your intranet: If working on an intensive project, and especially if at a customer site, you will want to offer employees a computer of equivalent power to what they use at their desktop.
If your staff is showing off your product at an exhibition, they will benefit from a laptop with presentation equipment, such as a detachable screen, higher definition screens, and stylus, so they can take down the details of new leads
If some of your engineering or statistics staff are contracting at a client’s office, they’ll benefit from a high-powered laptop that can run heavy-duty software and connect securely to your company portal from a distance.

It might also be worth exploring networking hire solutions to ensure complete connectivity for your new laptops.

Choose your favorite operating system

There are three principal operating systems (OS) for laptops – Apple’s OS X, Microsoft’s Windows and, the most basic, Chrome OS. Again, these different operating systems are suitable for a variety of scenarios:

Apple OS X: This is designed for high-end computers like our iMacs and MacBooks and easily handles graphics and heavy programmes. They’re great for designers, engineers, production studio workers, architects and similar.
Windows: This is by far the most widely used OS and most employees will already be familiar with Microsoft. They’re fabulous for word processing using Office Suite, the internet browser is great, and Windows is good for using many different applications, from spreadsheets to project management.
Chrome OS: Google’s Chromebooks are super lightweight but require an internet connection in order to be used. If you’re happy using Google Docs and the cloud for storage in your work, these are ideal – especially for remote workers who need to collaborate with their peers.

Alternatives to laptop hire

Hire Intelligence is a laptop rental service dedicated to helping clients find the perfect solution for their company and use the latest technology to expand their business.

We know how important laptops can be for your staff, especially the employees who work remotely, host hybrid events, attend a lot of virtual meetings, or have to travel frequently. However, you can also expect other services from us too.

We’re more than just a laptop hire service. Depending on your needs, we recommend you also check out our desktop rentals and tablet rentals available in London and Manchester.

Desktop rentals

In case you have employees that always work from your office, they can benefit from a powerful machine on their desks. This is extremely important for workers who need to use demanding software for their projects, like designers and architects.

We can offer you a versatile range of desktop computers, including everything from portable to gaming models.

One of the best desktop rentals for audio and video editing is the powerful Intel i7 NUC, which many of our clients are happy with.
There is also the Apple iMac Pro, very popular among designers.
Finally, you can even rent a portable computer like the Mac Mini. But don’t be fooled by its size because this is an impressive device.

Tablet rentals

If your employees need tech equipment to surf the internet, conduct market research, manage documents, or do inventory, then you don’t particularly need laptops.

Instead, you should consider some of our tablet rentals available in the UK. If you choose models like the Microsoft Surface Pro, you’ll be able to easily attach a keyboard to it.

We also offer iPad hire services, with models ranging from the iPad Pro to the iPad Air.

Why should you rent a laptop instead of buying?

If you wanted to get a personal laptop for yourself, it would make sense for you to buy it. But if you’re a business owner and want to supply your employees with technology that will help them work from home or the office more efficiently, you should seriously consider hiring equipment.

In case you have a small or medium-sized organisation, there is no doubt that you carefully monitor your budget and try to save as much money as possible each year.

When you choose to rent laptops for your office, there will be no huge upfront cost that you’ll have to pay. Instead, you’ll be making fixed monthly payments that’ll allow you to use your company funds to further expand your business.

From our experience in working with clients across the UK, we learned that small businesses have a limited time to become successful. If they don’t manage to make profits within the first year, most companies shut down.

That’s something you won’t have to worry about if you use our services. We encourage our clients to focus on what they know best. We simply supply you with the equipment you need in order to do your job at an optimal level.

We have a large stock of laptops in London and Manchester that you can use for multiple purposes. Regardless of your needs, we’ve got you covered.
