Step 1
Check out the options your school has for leasing a laptop if you are a student. Many colleges offer leasing programs if you find you are in need of one for school. Schools are becoming more dependent upon computers to deliver instruction all the time and they realize that you may not be able to afford one outright. If your school does lease computers, they probably offer much better rates than any of your other options.

Step 2
Search on the web for possibilities. There are a number of online stores and websites that offer laptop leases. Don't settle on the first place you find; spend some time to make sure you are getting the best deal.

Step 3
Look in your community for stores that rent to own. They deal primarily with appliances and furniture, but they usually carry laptops as well. The laptops offered through these places are usually not the most advanced and the interest is high, but if your credit is poor, they will work with you when many others will not.

Step 4
Go to the small privately-owned computer stores that deal with new and used computers and computer repairs. They sometimes have lease options. One good thing about looking at this as an option is they will often allow you to customize your computer. That may not be an option in most of these other places.
