    It's still likely less hassle than amortising capital expenses for something that will likely be written off well before end of life and then needing to dispose of it. As a consumer of fire sale disposed laptops, renting shouldn't be allowed.

    This doesn't seem aimed at businesses.

    yeah just responding in general. If it was cheap enough I could see doing it but it would have to be quite a savings because I keep my stuff going for awhile. Figure the yearly cost could not be any higher than 20% new but the cost would either have to go down over time or they would need to swap out for a new one each year.
