Renting vs Buying Laptops for Offices and Training Batches

Renting vs buying: the main differences

• Upfront cost: buying means paying for every laptop at once. Renting spreads the cost into a monthly payment. Our plans start at ₹1,500 a month per laptop.
• Numbers: a team or a batch rarely stays the same size. With a rental you plan the quantity and the period with the provider instead of owning spare machines.
• Support: with owned laptops, repairs and replacements are your time and cost. With a rental, our team supports you during the rental.
• Ownership: buying gives you laptops you keep after the project ends. Renting does not.

When renting makes sense for an office

• A new project team that needs laptops for a fixed period
• New joiners who are waiting for their own hardware
• Temporary or seasonal staff
• A short contract where owning the laptops would not pay off

When renting makes sense for a training batch

• The batch runs for a fixed number of weeks or months
• Every trainee needs the same configuration
• You do not want laptops sitting idle between batches
• Students may not have a suitable laptop of their own

When buying is the better choice

Buying usually works better when the same person will use the same laptop every day for several years, when you need a heavily customised setup, or when you want the laptops as company assets. If you are unsure, compare the total monthly cost over your expected period with the purchase price, and ask your accountant about the accounting treatment.
