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.

- Buy an external HDD
- backup any data you have on the rental computer
- bite the bullet that you probably won’t have a computer for a bit
- wipe the rental computer
- then put the amount spent each month on the rental into savings and buy and own a better computer with actually new hardware
