University MacBooks install vending machines, another sign of the times

Vending machines are no longer what they were, despite the 'crisis' have lately proliferated world such machines that offer gold and diamonds , even provides you some beers but not in the classic style, but the style ' rugby '. The meeting is the last one you see in the image below, is installed at Drexel University and does not give you donuts or juice, but MacBooks.

The machine itself will not sell laptops, but you rent them for hours in case you forgot yours at home or you've lost. Just you go to the machine, enter the student card and have the MacBook for 5 hours. Sounds like a great idea too if you do not want to take your computer from home and do not want to carry extra weight or want to avoid being stolen by the way if you think back late (or leaving college to go directly to a party) . When you return the computer hard drive is formatted to prevent some joker has no temptations to install malware, spyware and other malware. For now have a test machine running and if successful will be more, but I say nothing now and start to see similar machines near where you live.

Ultrabook is a line of extra-lightweight computers that have spent years on the market but have failed in their time off as laptops or tablets. They adapt to the current needs of a user with good multimedia and high prices so far have not allowed a mass consumption.
