Computer leasing for enterprise desktops and workstations
Your computer fleet is a capital decision you keep making
Desktops, workstations, and all-in-ones run the offices, labs, studios, and control rooms at the center of most enterprises. At fleet scale, every purchase commits capital to hardware that loses value from the day it is installed, and every replacement starts the cycle again.
Computer leasing from CHG-MERIDIAN means:
- One agreement for desktops, workstations, and all-in-ones across every site
- Any manufacturer, because we are independent of all of them
- Predictable monthly costs in place of large, periodic capital outlays
- A managed exit, with certified data erasure and remarketing, for every device
As the largest global independent IT lessor, we finance computer fleets for enterprises, from a single headquarters refresh to thousands of workstations across regions. We have offices in 35 countries and reach in 190+ through our partner network.
Why enterprises lease computers instead of buying them
Desktops and workstations often stay in service longer than laptops, but they age just as surely. Leasing matches what you pay to the years you actually use each machine, and it keeps the question of which hardware to run separate from the question of how to fund it. We lease across Dell, HP, Lenovo, Apple, and other major manufacturers.
Computers and workstations we lease
CHG-MERIDIAN leases desk-based computers from every major manufacturer, for a single site or a global estate. These are the categories enterprise fleets typically include.
Computer types we lease and finance:
Tower and small form factor desktops for office and administrative staff from Dell, HP, Lenovo, and other manufacturers. The core of most office fleets.
Workstations with professional graphics and high core counts for CAD, simulation, video production, data science, and AI development. The highest cost per seat in the fleet, and the strongest case for leasing.
iMac, Mac mini, and Mac Studio for creative, design, and development teams, leased under the same agreement as the rest of the estate.
Space-saving all-in-ones for reception areas, clinics, retail back offices, and shared workspaces.
Compact devices for virtual desktop environments, contact centers, kiosks, and frontline stations.
Rugged and industrial computers for production floors, laboratories, and control rooms, where standard hardware does not hold up.
Whether it is a design studio running Mac Studio or an engineering group running workstations in several countries, the agreement works the same way. Your teams choose the machines, and we finance the estate around them.
Refresh doesn't have to be a capital event
Every few years, new operating systems, security requirements, and software demands make large parts of a computer fleet outdated at the same time. For companies that own their hardware, that becomes an unplanned capital project, often approved late and rolled out under pressure.
Leasing puts the next refresh on a schedule before it becomes urgent. Terms are set around the useful life of each device class, every computer is tracked in tesma, and at the end of the term we manage the return, certified data erasure, and remarketing. In 2025, CHG-MERIDIAN gave around 1.1 million IT devices a second lifecycle, 96 percent of all IT lease returns.
How does computer leasing with CHG-MERIDIAN work?
We do not make or sell computers. Your IT team sets the standard for each role, and we finance whatever hardware meets it.
Headquarters, regional offices, and labs in different countries sit under one agreement and one process, instead of separate purchases in each market.
Standard desktops and high-performance workstations age at different rates. We set terms by device class, so each is replaced when it stops earning its keep.
tesma, our asset management platform, shows every leased computer with its location, contract, and cost, so IT and finance work from the same numbers.
Every returned computer goes through certified data erasure before it is refurbished, so company data never leaves with the hardware.
We remarket returned devices through our global remarketing network, recovering residual value and keeping hardware in use longer.
Frequently asked questions: computer leasing
CHG-MERIDIAN finances computers for every site under one agreement, with direct teams and offices in 35 countries and coverage in 190+ countries through our partner network. You get consistent terms and a single view of the fleet in tesma, rather than separate deals in each market.
Yes. We are independent of every manufacturer, so Dell, HP, Lenovo, Apple, and other brands can sit side by side in the same agreement. Your IT standards decide the hardware, not supplier relationships.
Leasing replaces large, periodic capital purchases with predictable payments over the term, which makes IT budgets easier to plan. Under ASC 842, most leases are recorded on the balance sheet, so your finance team should confirm the accounting treatment for your specific agreement.
Standard office desktops usually stay productive longer than workstations running demanding engineering, design, or AI workloads. Setting separate terms for each device class means workstations are refreshed when performance starts to hold teams back, while desktops run for their full useful life.
Every leased computer is recorded in tesma, CHG-MERIDIAN's asset management platform, with its location, contract, and end-of-term date. IT, procurement, and finance see the same data, which makes audits, budgeting, and refresh planning simpler.
Every returned computer goes through certified data erasure before it is refurbished and remarketed through our global remarketing network, so company data does not leave with the hardware. In 2025, CHG-MERIDIAN remarketed 96 percent of all IT lease returns.
