For a high technology item such as computer equipment is a lease option preferable to buying and why or why not?

Answer

Definitely Buying as a general guideline, and in most cases . However, if you plan to use your computer for a short period and then return it, or if for tax expenses purposes, your accountant could tell you that a lease is may or may not be a better way(in your case), because considered as an expense for your business. Do not forget that if you lease, you can choose an option to buy the computer and use already the amounts paid(or portion of them) to pay the machine. Today a good computer is not that expensive to justify the option of a lease. I hope to have answered your question
