Most people own a computer of some sort. Only having access to a desktop may prevent you from being as productive as you'd like. If you to rent a laptop, you could avoid interruption in your productivity, and get more done when you are away from your home or office. Laptops can be an expensive proposition, especially with all the new demands that are placed on computers. Both travelers and business professionals generally like to have a device that has the ability to be productive and entertain, but renting is an excellent option for those who are infrequently on the road. New laptops have most, if not all, the capabilities of today's desktops.

Almost all of them come with wireless capability allowing you to connect to the internet in any number of locations with wireless access. You can turn just about any coffee shop or fast food restaurant into a temporary office using their internet connections. Downloading data and getting e-mails is as easy in these locations as if you were in your own office. It is quite remarkable how convenient it has become to remain connected wherever you go. It is more important than ever to be connected with the flow of information and the expectations of immediate responses becoming the benchmark for action.

Having the ability to produce and respond in remote locations is no longer a luxury. Smart phones have become so pervasive that access to all of your information all of the time is the norm. When you rent a laptop you are able to do that and so much more. Imagine how hard it would be to function in a down economy without the ability to share information almost instantaneously. If you think about it, technology has probably lessened the impact of the recession. How many times have you seen people working on their laptops or getting messages on their smart phones that, in the past, would be shuffling papers around and looking for a pay phone in order to get their work done?

The changes have now included the use of social media in order to disseminate information. Waiting for the six o'clock news is more a lesson in history than a way of informing you of current events. Social media has changed all that and will continue to have an immediate impact in which way and how fast information will become available. Even tablets are entering the technology stream, which will give the need for portability a greater emphasis. As convenient and popular as the smart phones and tablets may become, they will be hard-pressed to completely replace the venerable laptop.

At some point, technology comes up against ergonomic practicality, but the laptop still seems to be the device of choice for the broadest user base. The laptop may enjoy a longer lifespan because of the amount of operational characteristics it shares with its close cousin, the familiar desktop. Because of its functionality and sustainable characteristics, the ability to rent a laptop will likely be popular for many years to come.
