Student Life Hacks: Renting vs Buying Tech for College
Students can rent an iPad and Pencil from ₹299/day or a PS5 for a break. RentSmart does not rent laptops, MacBooks, or printers.
By RentSmart Editorial Team
College gadgets add up, but RentSmart does not rent laptops, MacBooks, DSLRs, or printers. This note used to list semester MacBook rates. Those are not our plans and should not be quoted as such.
What a Delhi NCR student can actually book with us:
• iPad and Apple Pencil from ₹299/day, for notes or a design sprint. Bring your own Apple ID
• PS5 for a break: week ₹3,499, 2 weeks ₹4,999
• GoPro from ₹249/day for a project or trip
• Delivery and pickup: ₹249
What students often buy instead, because we do not stock it:
• Laptop: ₹60,000–₹1,20,000
• Printer for exam season
• A camera body for a photography course
Benefits of renting the items we do carry:
1. Lower financial burden: Pay monthly instead of lump sum
2. Latest technology: Always use current-generation devices
3. No maintenance worries: Focus on studies, not repairs
4. Flexibility: Different devices for different subjects
5. No depreciation loss: No resale hassles after graduation
We do not offer a 50% student deposit, semester storage, or mid-semester laptop swaps. Identity verification is the eKYC form, and plans are the ones on the product page.
If the work needs a laptop, buy or borrow one. If it needs a tablet, notes, or a console for the break, WhatsApp +91-9870577040 with your area and dates.
