A Case in Point
While computers are leased by organizations of all types and descriptions, almost all large medical facilities - hospitals, medical laboratories, etc. - lease their computer equipment. Why? The reasons are obvious: in such settings, quite literally, the quality of the available computer equipment can have a bearing on quickly diagnosing illnesses and saving people's lives. In a medical setting, in the 21st century, computers are life saving tools. And, as such, the computers at work in a medical setting must be of very high quality and need to be meticulously maintained. Elsewhere, leasing is also popular with financial corporations, schools and colleges, and businesses of all sizes.
In short, due to their inherhent high quality and superior maintenance, off-lease computers made available for re-sale to the public are considered to be a premium value in the computer industry - they constitute a great bargain for many computer users.
It's All About Provenance Whenever we purchase a previously used item we like to know as much about it's history, or provenance, as possible. Unfortunately, sellers may misrepresent an items history - how it's been used, past problems, etc.
And sellers who deal in off-lease computers tend to be well-trained professionals who test the units before they are re-sold. Finally, depending upon the lease status and seller terms, the unit may even include a warranty (see details, further down this page).
