Choosing the right path
The decision between buying and leasing devices can be a challenging one.
Lets delve deeper into the advantages and potential drawbacks of both buying and leasing to help you make an informed choice that best suits your institution’s requirements and budget.
Buying third-party support or rental inclusive support?
Our inclusive 3-year support offers significant advantages over buying outright. It includes a 3-year hardware warranty, loan devices, and unlimited UK remote tech support, ensuring issues are promptly addressed and minimising downtime.
Buying outright often lacks this ongoing support and flexibility, potentially leading to unexpected repair costs and extended downtime. Overall, our inclusive 3-year support provides peace of mind and ensures your technology investment is well-maintained
*AppleCare+ support for 3 years.
Buying third-party insurance or rental inclusive cover?
Buying outright may seem straightforward, but it often involves a variety of additional costs for essentials such as insurance. Not only that, but insurance will often be purchased from a third-party, which can be a logistics nightmare.
When you choose a Leasing solution with HardSoft, our optional 3-year accidental damage and theft cover add-on ensures protection, access to loan devices, and unlimited UK remote tech support, ensuring any issues are promptly addressed and minimising downtime.
*Cover from Switched on Insurance for 3 years.
Comparing your options after the three years
At the end of your lease, you have several options. You can continue using your current equipment with ongoing support, cancel your agreement and return your kit, or refresh to newer devices to stay updated with the latest technology.
After three years of owning a device, on the other hand, you don’t have the same level of flexibility. Instead, you’re left with an outdated, out of warranty device to try and sell on or dispose of, and another high upfront cost when purchasing a newer replacement.
Purchase price compared to HardSoft Total Cost
The total cash price for buying a MacBook Pro 16, 24GB RAM, 512GB SSD outright is £2870 (after factoring in the additional costs for third-party support and insurance). In contrast, the total cost with HardSoft, which includes support and cover, is just £2502, over three years.
Once tech passes three years, it can go downhill fast. Save money on repairs, maintenance, and downtime by leasing instead. When three years are up, we’ll take back all your tech and wipe all data – no questions asked. No fees, zero hassle. Easy.
