I think for students renting may be win/win. If only taking spring and fall courses, a laptop for ~$60 per semester would be cool. This is assuming that it can be given up easily.
- blocke 15y agoI'd be really skeptical about them making it that flexible. There has to be some minimum timeframe involved to make it profitable.
