NYC - Does anyone know where to RENT a PC cheap?
My frigging laptop chose THIS week to fail. I just can't believe it! I can't get through the week without DU!

Does anyone know a place to rent a laptop cheap in NYC while mine flies to San Diego and back?

I am being quoted $175-$200.

Election Day without DU??? Can't happen.

:scared:

1. I wish I could help you.
You could rent time by the hour at your local Internet cafe.

2. Only if it's open 24 hours!
Thanks BW - I think I just found a place in the yellow pages - $65 for bare bones. It's worth it. If it were any other week I would do without but THIS week! Holy moly.

My new best friends: ACR - American Computer Rental

4. Do you have any rent to own places around your house?
Rentway or Rent a Center?

5. Hmm..
Buy a laptop on your credit card at a store that'll let you walk out with onein a box.

Use it for a week.

Return it within 28 days for a full refund.

6. I did think of that
But I'd have to put the full price on my card - no room.
