Hey Chicago peeps:

I’m in the market for a rented laptop, for about a week. I really have no idea where to start looking. Has anyone had any luck trying to rent a computer around here? I’ve hit several places with web searches that aren’t in the individual renter market.

Any advice would be appreciated.
