A Small Army of iPads

noreply@blogger.com (jhamm) — Wed, 23 May 2012 14:35:00 +0000

There is a way that you can get up to 1000 iPads into the hands of 1000 users quickly and inexpensively. Rentacomputer.com is capable of procuring vast quantities of iPads for any sort of temporary need where you have to put a lot of technology in the hands of a lot of users.

Large quantity iPad rentals are an excellent solution for many large-scale projects, such as:

Customer Survey: If your company or institution plans to gather data through surveying customers, then you need to equip employees with easy-to-use technology. The iPad is highly mobile and allows a survey administrator to approach customers in a natural setting, and input the data quickly.

Product Demo: If your company has a product that you can demo on the iPad at your next trade show, large quantity iPad rentals are a great solution.

Inventory Projects: Large inventory projects can be a headache, and require everyone involved to be on the move while keeping track of a lot of information. iPads are a great way to stay mobile while doing inventory.

Event Way-Finding: Large events such as trade shows or conventions need to have user friendly way-finding kiosks that attendees can access and use, and by pairing an iPad kiosk rental with your large quantity iPad rental, you can have up to 1000 iPads installed in kiosks at your event!

Often however, the large quantity iPad rental needs to be networked, which requires a rental of wireless bridges, routers and network servers. No problem! A Tech Travel Agent can bundle all your large quantity rental needs into a single solution.

Make Your Event More Professional with a Lectern or Podium Rental

noreply@blogger.com (zack duncan) — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 22:58:00 +0000

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. Podium and lectern rentals from Rentacomputer.com come in a variety of shapes, sizes and styles, so it is important to get the proper dimensions that will work best for you and your presentation. Rentacomputer.com has podiums and lecterns on wheels in case you need to move them from room to room, large, solid ones that are perfect for projectors or laptops to sit on or even stylish ones that go great with awards ceremonies or fancy events.

What's even better are the ones that have special integrated features. 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.

noreply@blogger.com (zack duncan) — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 02:12:00 +0000

A 3D projector could help make your product presentation at a trade show even more spectacular or make your family movie nights more enjoyable.

In order to have the full 3D experience, you not only need a 3D projector but also a 3D computer-rendered video/graphic or a stereoscopic recording. In addition to that, a polarization-preserving screen is required as it helps maintain the light polarization upon reflection. Thankfully, Rentacomputer also rents 3D silver screens as well as computers equipped with 3D graphics cards to make sure you have everything you need for your next 3D presentation or movie night.

No matter what you need for a full 3D setup, Rentacomputer.com can deliver.

Tablet PC Rentals

noreply@blogger.com (zack duncan) — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 21:23:00 +0000

Tablet PCs are known for their high mobility as well as their thin frame and light weight, which makes them perfect for traveling or on-the-go business professionals. However, there really isn't a need to own both a laptop and a tablet PC, which makes it all the more inconvenient when you don't want to lug around your laptop everywhere you go. That's why Rentacomputer.com offers a full line of Tablet PC Rentals. A Tablet PC Rental allows you to keep track of all your important information while also staying connected to the internet.

There are a few things you should definitely consider when renting a Tablet PC. One thing is that you should also consider renting a tablet that is 3G capable. 3G capable tablets allow you to connect to the internet no matter where you are without a WiFi connection. 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

noreply@blogger.com (zack duncan) — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 22:49:00 +0000

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.

All-in-One PC Rentals

noreply@blogger.com (zack duncan) — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 18:10:00 +0000

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.

The Kindle Fire is one of the most anticipated devices of this holiday season. Amazon is taking its Kindle name brand and slapping it on a device that can probably best be described as the illegitimate love child of a Kindle and a tablet.

Netbook Rentals

noreply@blogger.com (zack duncan) — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 21:19:00 +0000

Laptops are good because they are portable, easy to use and give you almost all the computing skills and power of a desktop on the go. However, laptop designers have taken the portable computer idea to new extremes with a new era of laptops, the Netbook and Ultraportable. These devices are even thinner and more portable than your standard laptop and some of them even offer better hardware and software options. For a true mobile businessman, an ultraportable or netbook is definitely the way to go.

However, Rentacomputer.com knows that there are some businessmen out there that only travel on rare occasions, maybe once or twice a year. For these individuals, it doesn't make financial sense to purchase a netbook or ultraportable (many of which can cost upwards of $1,000) that they are only going to use a few times a year. That is why Rentacomputer.com offers a full line of Ultrabook and Netbook Rentals.

If you or an employee is headed on a last minute trip to a convention or trade show or if you find yourself on the road and you forgot your laptop, an ultraportable or netbook rental is perfect for you. These devices are specifically designed for travel and have screens as small as 5" diagonally and a typical weight of between 2 and 4 lbs. Smaller netbooks can range from 7" to 9" so, depending on the degree of mobility you need out of your rental, you might consider going smaller as devices of this size can easily fit into travel bags with plenty of room to spare.

If you are looking for something with a little more computing power then you may want to consider a larger netbook, one that ranges from 10" to 13". These devices are perfect if you need excellent mobility with some decent computing power and a larger screen. Being physical larger means more internal space, which in turn means you can pack in more hardware.

Rentacomputer.com offers ultraportable and netbook rentals that also have every piece of software you need, or may need, pre-loaded on them at your request. In addition to that, Rentacomputer.com offers select business software suites like Microsoft Office. This makes your job easier because all you have to do is boot up and your netbook is all ready to go.

Another feature Rentacomputer.com offers is data integrity. If you are traveling with a netbook that contains sensitive corporate information, this might be a good option to go with. Netbook rentals are perfect for putting any worries to rest as a Tech Travel Agent can have a netbook delivered to your hotel, convention center or business location so you don't have to worry about it getting stolen or lost in the airport.

So the next time you are thinking of hitting the road and you think a laptop may be a good thing to take with you, consider an Ultraportable or Netbook Rental from Rentacomputer.com. Rentacomputer.com has over 20 years in the business of computer and technology rentals and also rents to any state in the country, as well as Canada, South America and the United Kingdom, allowing you to go with a name you can trust, no matter where you are.

Power Point Projectors
Most business class projectors will do a good job displaying your PowerPoint presentation. If you have a small presentation group, a 2000 lumen LCD projector will be able to produce a nice and clear picture. For larger audiences you should consider a 5000 lumen LCD projector.

noreply@blogger.com (zack duncan) — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 19:55:00 +0000

When it comes to technology rentals, one of the most useful things you can rent is a server. Server rentals are perfect for anybody who needs a fast and easy temporary server. However, it isn't always easy to know what type to get. One of the more popular server rentals offered by Rentacomputer.com is a Rack-Mount Server Rental.

Any server you rent from Rentacomputer.com will offer great performance and reliability, but rack-mount servers have many advantages over your traditional tower server or other type of server. Rack-mount servers offer a greater ease of access for mounting and servicing, allow for an increased air flow, increased utilization of vertical space and a lower power consumption than conventional tower servers.

But just because you rent a server doesn't mean you are finished. You also have to consider an operating system. Rentacomputer.com can custom load any server operating system you need for your rack-mount server rental, including the newest edition of Microsoft's server operating systems, Windows Server 2008. New and improved product features, like Hyper-V virtualization and Remote Desktop Services and Internet Information Server 7, are just a few features Windows Server 2008 has to boost productivity and ease the cost and burden of server administration.

One question Rentacomputer.com gets all the time when it comes to a server rental is "How many cores does my server need?" Most servers have multiple processors and each processor has multiple cores. How many cores your server needs will need depends on what type of services you are going to be implementing with your server. If you are unsure, then your Tech Travel Agent will have the answer. Just let your Tech Travel Agent know what you will be using your rack-mount server rental for and he or she will tell you exactly how many cores you need.

All-in-One PC Rentals

noreply@blogger.com (zack duncan) — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 02:31:00 +0000

One of the benefits that laptops and tablets have had over desktop PCs is that all the hardware for your computer is in one case with a laptop or tablet whereas a desktop PC requires you to have both a monitor and a tower as well as a mouse and a keyboard.

All the components of a computer tower are placed behind the LCD panel, including the monitor, CPU, hard drive, speakers, graphics card; everything is one neat package. However, many people look at All-in-One PCs and think that there is no need for them because they have a laptop instead. However, there are a plethora of benefits in using an All-in-One PC over a laptop.

Laptops may be more portable and take up less space than an All-in-One PCs but they lack the computing power of a full-fledged computer. That is where an All-in-One PC comes into play. These devices are, essentially, a desktop computer sans the tower. This makes taking a computer with you wherever you go much easier and allows you to take all the power of your home computer on the road with you.

One popular All-in-One PC is the Apple iMac. The iMac has been the gold standard for the All-in-One PC market. The design of the flat panel iMac puts everything you need, including a display, processor, graphics card, hard drive, optical drive, memory and other components, inside a single enclosure.

Philippine Officials to Regulate Computer Rental Shops in Tublay

noreply@blogger.com (zack duncan) — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 20:32:00 +0000

Sometimes I think we take the freedoms we have in this country for granted. For instance, we have the freedom to rent computers and other pieces of technology without oppressive regulation from government officials. However, this isn't always the case in other countries.

Officials in Tublay, Benguet, located in the Philippines, have recently enacted Ordinance No. 2011-08, which regulates the operation of computer rental shops, cyber cafes or internet access studios as well as other similar establishments in the city. Ordinance 2011-08 was passed on second at the provincial board.

In the explanatory note of the ordinance, the officials believe that there is a need to regulate the operations of computer shops and similar establishments due to vulnerability of minors and students to skip class due to access to these technologies. The ordinance prohibits owners and operators of computer rental businesses and other similar establishments from accepting students and minors in their stores during school hours and non-school hours.

However, there are exemptions to the rule. Renting to minors or students is allowed during school hours if a student is in need of a computer to do a school project, do research or any other academic activity. The student must have a written authorization from their teacher, instructor, school principal or other responsible official from their school in order to do so, however.

The ordinance also prohibits the access of pornographic, aggressive, violent or other related material. In addition to that, it also requires establishments to install and maintain anti-obscenity filtering software in order to block sites that would contain this type of material. It also requires the use of a logbook for students containing relevant information.

From here, it just goes off the deep end. The ordinance further requires that shops and stores be located at least 100 meters away from any schools and requires the posting of a sign at the entrance disallowing minors and students during regular school hours and noon breaks.

However, the measure does have the comforts of people in mind as well. The ordinance also requires that stores have good ventilation of the area in conformity with the provision of Presidential Decree 1096, also known as the National Building Code and the Philippine Society of Mechanical Engineers. Also, the space between each computer should be no less than one meter.

All I can say is that I am fortunate to live in a country where extreme regulations like this have no chance of being passed.

First Ever Dell World Conference Coming in October

noreply@blogger.com (zack duncan) — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 18:11:00 +0000

Dell, it seems, is taking a cue from Apple as the company plans to hold its inaugural Dell World Conference from October 12 through October 14 in Austin, Texas according to an event invitation email that was sent to many media outlets this week.

Dell World, as it is being called, will feature keynote addresses from CEO Michael Dell, Senior Vice President of Enterprise Solutions Group Brad Anderson, President of Public and Large Enterprise Paul Bell, President of Consumer, Small and Medium Business Steve Felice and President of Dell Services Stephen Schuckenbrock. Chairman and CEO of Salesforce.com Marc Benioff, VMware CEO Paul Maritz and Intel President and CEO Paul Otellini are also scheduled to speak at the event, though not as keynote speakers.

Set to take place at the Austin Convention Center, the event, which has the theme "Unlocking Innovation in the Virtual Era", is targeted to "IT professionals who plan, deploy and manage enterprise technology," according to DellWorld.com. Michael Dell's keynote speech plans on focusing on the changing face of IT and how innovation in technology is "fueling the next chapter for cloud computing, data management and mobility," according to the site.

Dell has not disclosed how many VARs are expected to attend the event or what information and sessions might be specific to partners. Nevertheless, at least one Dell Partner is interested in the event. According to Peter Kennedy, Founding Partner and Chairman of Kraft & Kennedy, a Solution Provider based out of New York, "To the degree they have meaningful content and show a clear direction that Dell is headed, it's a great idea."

The Dell World Conference will take place from October 12 through October 14, 2011 at the Austin Convention Center in Austin, Texas.
