Laptop Rental Program

Reserve ButtonInvesting in one or several laptops to use for limited projects, remote presentations, or while on vacation can be expensive.  In an effort to provide an alternative to the Maxwell community, ICT provides a Laptop Rental Program.  This program is designed to be an inexpensive and convenient way to use a laptop for special occasions without the cost of ownership. 

Laptops can be rented daily, weekly, monthly or by the semester.   View installed software on rental Equipment 

Important Note:  Laptops are only available to Maxwell users who can pay with a Department ID!
