Notebooks
One of the services of studIT is to rent high-quality notebooks to students under good conditions for their academic work and research. With our laptops you can use the W-LAN GoeMobile as well as the wired network of Göttingen University.
Notebook rental
If you do not have a computer or laptop available, you will be able to get a laptop for your academic work at the chip card issue point.
Costs and rental period
The costs for the notebook rental for one week are 10 Euros. The maximum rental period is four weeks.
Technical features
Our notebooks do have AMD Turion Dual-Core CPU and a main memory of 1GB as well as an integrated DVD writer included as standard equipment. The operating time per battery charge is around 2,5 hours. The operating system is Windows XP and important standard software as MS-/Open-Office and Firefox are already installed. Our laptops are W-LAN-enabled and the VPN client is already preinstalled as well. You get the computer in a laptop bag.
Liability
We expect the notebook renters to handle the computers with care. Users are liable for any damages that are caused intentionally or by thoughtless handling of the laptop with an obligatory fee at least. With the notebook you also lend a Kensington security slot. We expect from you to use it in public places (library, cafeteria etc.), because in case of theft or loss the user is liable for the damage caused.
