Zilok.com the online rental marketplace launched in October in Europe and in November in the US lets you try the MacBook Air before you buy. Given the experience that we had with Leopard not working for a while, I am suspicious about the reliability of the first version of the MacBook Air too, and hardware problems cannot be fixed with an easy software update. My MacBook Pro gets very hot and the optical drive never worked, so given the thinness of the new Apple laptop, I can at least verify that heat is not an issue for $29 a day. Cool!
Zilok will start this service in San Francisco now and in Berkeley next week. More locations will be added later.
