Laptop rental while mine is being repaired

A used Windows computer may work for you. Amazon has some for less than $150US and as a pro you need a backup anyway.

My laptop is in need of repair and may take up to two weeks. I am a freelancer and cannot be without a laptop for that long.

Im disappointed that Apple doesn’t have a loaner option.

Can anyone recommend a place in LA (or a place that ships) to rent a laptop for a short time at a reasonable price? thank you!

Time for a new/reconditioned computer. Anyone who depends on a computer for work needs backup resources in case something goes wrong with their primary tools. Hopefully you have a current data backup.

If your business will be impacted by having your ONLY computer in the shop, then your disaster plan is woefully inadequate.

"Everyone knows" they need backups of data (although not everyone acts on that need with appropriate urgency) but you also need backup Hardware, and a way to recover after a disaster that takes out both your computer and your data.

Backup Hardware just has to be able to do the most important things eventually. it does not have to be as fast as your primary system. but it has to be close-at-hand, and most businesses end up keeping an old computer on hand for just such purposes. if you have no such older computer available, you may have to buy a new computer and make it the primary, and when that other one comes back off repair, the repaired unit can be the backup.
