It’s viable again because well… gestures vaguely at everything

HP just launched a laptop ‘subscription’ service too. It’s a rather disgusting sign of the times. Companies would love for this to become the norm, because renting is a highly profitable game. Get that sweet money coming in month after month. And you are right; we must not encourage them.

I’d rather save up and go to the second-hand marketplace than line a corpo’s pocket by renting.
