Rent to Own Mac Websites???

i had no idea where i should put this so im doing general chitchat section. i was wondering if anyone knows of a place i can rent to own a imac 27 or mac pro that delivers nation wide. im trying to get a degree in digital media but cant afford to outright buy a mac. and no one rents them that i can find where i live.

I don't know of any place (at least here in the Dallas - Fort Worth area) that rents Macs. Plenty of places will rent you a PC though.

Can you afford to purchase a used Mac? Take a gander at your local Craig's list or Green Sheet. Sometimes you can find something that way which is affordable.

Not aware of any Rent to Own Mac sites. Have you applied for credit through Apple?

The interest rates are horrible compared to those for student loans.. which, btw, is perfectly legit to use on materials like a computer. The same holds true for the 'effective' interest rates on "rent to own" equipment.

my credit is horible i cant even get a student loan, i live on very tight disabilty every month so my options are very limited i think

The reason why nobody does rental/leasing of Macs (actually there are a few places, but very few) is because of the turnover of Mac models. Their machine will be "old" and "no good" long before the lease is paid off ... or worse, you rent a Mac for X number of months or years and then ... well, it goes away and you have nothing to show for the money you spent, just like apartments.

If money is this tight, then you're probably better of with a non-Mac machine. I'm going to guess that most (if not all) of the software you need is available for Windows and if this is the case, pick yourself up a nice (cheaper) Windows machine.
