Completely lackluster and insufficient response in my book

yea, as usual its a "we will strive to do better in the future" not-apology.

This should be a either a rent-to-own system, or just a monthly payment system. Be clear "you will pay 150% the purchases price of the equipment over this time period", and it would be mostly better.

They could still make a fortune doing a rent to own model, charge 2x the cost of the computer and easily pocket that money…

yea, and be clear about it. Don't hide that they are turning a profit, but there's a lot of people that might find that attractive.

I like working with some contractors, because they will list each item, at cost... and then the last line item is "20% profit".

Rent to Rent, for a $150/m computer, is just robbery.
