Why Buy When You Can Rent?

My friend read about my post on buying the Fujitsu Esprimo u9200, supposedly a UMPC but I don't think it is small enough to be called a UMPC. It has a 12in screen and a 1.8kg weight without adding the battery yet.

Anyway, I told him that it's a back up system and I wanted small for its mobility and portability. My friend advised that it is not worth the MYR4K that I am prepared to fork out since it is way cheaper if I were to rent a system from a computer rental store if the need arises. He says that I could rent the latest and the fastest system and never have to worry about maintenance or going out of fashion of lagging in technology.

Well, it's a good suggestion but I still think that it is better to have my own system, you know? I feel more secure knowing that I have what I want at home when I want it.
