How a simple rental saved Sofia’s work and her Lisbon experience

Real case from a Digital Nomad


How a simple rental saved Sofia’s work - and her Lisbon experience

When Tech Fails abroad, what do you do?

Let’s set the scene: Sofia, a software developer from Berlin, lands in Lisbon for a month of remote work and sunshine. She’s excited, energized, and ready to dive into projects for her clients back home. But on her second morning, disaster strikes, her MacBook refuses to turn on.


She tries everything: resets, frantic Googling, even a prayer or two. Nothing works. Panic sets in. She’s got deadlines, video calls, and a whole trip riding on her laptop working.

The usual solutions? Not great.

Sofia checks out local repair shops. The quotes are steep, and the wait times are a week or more. Buying a new laptop? Out of the question for a month-long stay. Borrowing from friends? She doesn’t know anyone in Lisbon yet.

That’s when she searches “laptop rental Lisbon” and stumbles onto Oxigen.

Enter Oxigen: fast, friendly, and with no deposit

Within five minutes, Sofia’s booked a MacBook Air M1 online. The process is straightforward - no deposit, no hidden fees, just a clear price and a promise: delivery within 24 hours anywhere in Lisbon.

She’s skeptical, but the next day, she hears a knock at her Airbnb. There’s her rental MacBook, clean and ready to go. She logs in, sets up her workspace, and is back to work before her clients even notice she had a hiccup.

What Sofia says

“Oxigen literally saved my Lisbon trip. I didn’t expect such fast delivery or such kind support. Everything was simple - no deposit, no stress, just the tech I needed when I needed it.”


She wraps up her projects, explores Lisbon on weekends, and returns the laptop with a scheduled pickup before heading home. No drama, no extra fees, just smooth sailing.
