    Ask the Centre staff for a full listing of laptop PC specifications. We will do our best to allocate you the model that you prefer, but unfortunately we cannot guarantee your choice (changes are sometimes forced upon us if the laptops are returned late, for which there are high penalties, or if their are technical problems with the reformatting and reinstalling of the laptop's system).

    Hire period
    You can hire the laptops whilst you are a student or member of staff at Brookes. The hire period must not exceed the end date of your course (students) or your contract's expiry date (staff).

    Going abroad
    Students must not take the equipment out of the UK. Staff may do so with the authorisation of their School and Computer Services.

    Insurance
    Insurance is not included. You are responsible for the full costs of repair or replacement and we recommend that you take out adequate insurance or extend your home contents policy (if you have one).

    Booking
    The laptops are available from the Computer Services Centre in the Lloyd foyer at Gipsy Lane. They are in high demand so please book as early as possible (full payment required at time of booking). Cash and all major debit/credit cards accepted.

    Please note - Unfortunately, due to abuse of the PC hire scheme we have had to introduce strict ID checks before a laptop can be hired. You will be asked to produce proof of identity, such as a passport, national identity card or driving licence AND a valid Brookes student ID card AND proof of address, such as a bank statement or utility bill. UK driving licenses can be used as proof of identity and address.

    Fines
    Fines will be levied on ALL late returns. These are £2.50 per hour for the first four hours and £10 per day thereafter. The fines are non-negotiable and are waived only in exceptional circumstances. The fines are high so that we can ensure that the laptops can be reformatted and made ready in time for the next hirer. If you are unable to return the laptop for any reason, please notify the Computer Services Centre (01865 48)3333 immediately.
