As we did not look at the terms very carefully, we were “dinged” for quite a substantial sum at lease end….

What types of leases do you offer?
How long are the lease terms?
Does the notebook need to be insured?
Is there an advance payment?
Can I add equipment to my lease?
Can I end my lease early?
Is there a prepayment penalty? If so, how much?

You may also want to look at the other side of leasing and purchase equipment coming off lease. We hae done this when I did not need the latest technology. IF you can get by with some two year old equipment, It can work out to your benefit. IT has worked well for us.
Good Luck
