In a few minutes, I received an email with the instructions to get started with my 3-day trial of virtual Mac computer. The chat didn't go more than 2 minutes and he said he will setup the machine and email me the instructions. Daniel, the owner of the one-man company asked me to come online for a chat to describe my requirements and explain his service.

The only company responded within a day was XCodeClub. I picked a few providers from the Google search and sent them an inquiry asking for a 3-day trial. There are lot of companies offering Mac hosting, Mac servers etc but what I really need is a Mac desktop for personal use and a hosting service. A search for ' Virtual Mac for rent' showed very few options to rent a virtual Mac. At least that is what Google search showed me. I was expecting numerous service providers offering the same but I was surprised to learn there are only companies offering the same. I never thought about renting a virtual Mac until a friend suggested the same recently. I started exploring the options to rent Mac computers from the local shops but ruled out that idea too when I heard about the options to rent a virtual Mac in the cloud. However, when I looked at the price, I thought it may not give me value for money in the near future since they are pretty expensive compared to Windows computers. In last few months, the number of review requests for Mac products increased significantly and I thought it would be a good idea to have my own Mac. Some other times, I used to bring his Mac computer to my office for a few days and then test a bunch of apps and products. Since I didn't want to disturb him often, I used to wait until I have a few products to review so that I could test them all together. I have been using my friend's Mac computer for reviewing apps since last few years. However, I personally do not own a Mac computer yet.

Being an app review blogger, I used to get a lot of requests to review Mac products.
