    I talked to a Dell salesperson today and he quoted me a purchase price and a monthly lease price. The leasing deal was quite tempting. You lease a computer for 30 or 36 months and then you get rid of it and get a brand new one. And I guess they are charging 0 percent on their leases. The only sticky area is that I think one would need a full service agreement (including accident coverage) so that at the end of the lease we'd have a guaranteed functioning machine to turn in.

    Has anyone leased a laptop from Dell? Would you do it again?
