Notebook computers have become an integral part of daily electronic products. Research shows that among the life cycle stages of laptop, the use of laptop which consumes energy and produces the highest amount of carbon dioxide has the most obvious impact on environment. Emission of carbon dioxide is also the major cause of the greenhouse effect. Hence, international institutes develop the energy efficiency specification in order to avoid worsening the greenhouse effect. In this study, the concept of product service system was imported into the lease of notebooks. A questionnaire was used for surveying the public acceptance of leased notebook from Taichung Citizen and a total of 400 valid questionnaires was retrieved. The questionnaire was analyzed by SPSS statistical software to describe the statistics of acceptance of rental notebook case, then different background variables were used to progress the independent sample t test and the ANOVA analysis of acceptance of leased laptops for differences in the dimensions of the test. According to the survey results, there are significant differences caused by gender, age, residence area, education level, condition of use and opinions toward rental notebooks. The group of women who have high school education level, live in the south of Taichung City and have used the laptops has the highest acceptance for the laptop leasing system and service. Among all the factors that may affect the acceptance, “environmental protection and energy saving” gets most public attention, followed by “product design”, “product and service” and “economic and function”. “Brand and appearance” has less effect.
