Tech Support can supply a laptop running Windows or Linux, or a Macbook, for short term loan, depending on how many we have at the time. If you require one please submit a COM SR request in advance detailing your requirements, so we can check stock and prepare one for you.

The load period would not normally be longer than 1 month as we don't have that many in stock.

When you hand the laptop back, don't leave any important data on it, because we'll be re-imaging it and wiping the data off it!
