How it works

From signing to calling your AI model

The machine lives at Namtech. You only need a network connection to use it, with no power, cooling or software updates to worry about. The service is for running AI models only: you call the model over an API, you do not get remote control of the machine, and it is not used for anything else.

Prices include 10% VAT. AA score: Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v5.0, checked 3 Nov 2026 — higher means smarter; the v5 scale is harder, so scores are lower than before. For comparison, Claude Opus 5.5 scores 58.4 and the leader, Gemini 4 Carbon, scores 59.4. Response speed and the number of simultaneous users depend on the GPU and memory bandwidth; Namtech tests on real hardware before advising.

Comparison

Rent a Mac, buy a Mac, or rent a cloud GPU?

Each option has different costs and limits. The biggest difference is memory available to the model: a 24GB GPU and a large-RAM Mac run different models.

Security and data

Your data belongs to you

Dedicated, not shared

Each client is assigned a dedicated machine. One client’s data and models never sit on the same machine as another’s.

Namtech as data processor

Under Vietnam’s Personal Data Protection Law No. 91/2025/QH15, you are the data controller and Namtech is the data processor, processing only under the contract and your instructions.

Access control

Only accounts you authorise can call the model. Namtech staff access the machine for maintenance under defined permissions, with records kept.

Deletion at the end

When the contract ends, Namtech deletes the data on the machine and sends you a deletion record before the machine is reused.

No system is perfectly secure. Specific security measures, each party’s responsibilities and incident handling are set out in the contract and data processing annex.

Payment and contract

Key terms

Monthly or prepaid in instalments

Pay monthly at the listed price. Mac Studio: prepay 3 months for 10% off, or 6 months for 20% off. The term stays 12 months; each instalment is paid before it starts.

One-month deposit

A deposit of one month’s fee (at the monthly price) is paid when ordering. If you cancel the order, the deposit is not refunded. Once the machine is ready, the deposit is deducted from the first payment.

VAT invoice, bank transfer

Namtech issues a VAT invoice for each payment period. Payment is by bank transfer.

Suspension if overdue

If payment is overdue, the service may be suspended (access is locked; your data is kept) until it is paid in full.

Service provider and VAT invoice issuer: Công ty Cổ phần Trạm Năng Lượng Số, tax code 0318083689. Namtech performs installation, monitoring and technical maintenance. This is a service contract, not an equipment lease; the machine is owned by the provider, hosted at Namtech and is not delivered to you. Detailed terms are set out in the contract.

FAQ

Mac rental for AI: frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to rent a Mac for AI at Namtech?

12-month rental starts from 8,990,000₫/month including 10% VAT, depending on the Mac mini or Mac Studio configuration.

Is the rented machine delivered to our office?

No. The machine stays at Namtech. You call the model remotely via an API (optionally over VPN), and Namtech manages the machine.

Can I use the rented machine for anything other than AI?

No. The service is for running AI models only. Namtech does not provide remote control of the machine (screen or command line), and the machine is not used for rendering, software builds or other workloads.

Is my data on a machine shared with other clients?

No. Each client is assigned a dedicated machine. When the contract ends, Namtech deletes the data and issues a deletion record.

Which models can Namtech install?

Open models such as Qwen, Gemma and GLM, run with MLX, Ollama or LM Studio. The best model it can run depends on the RAM of the rented configuration — for example, 16GB runs gpt-oss-20b · no AA v5 score yet and 64GB runs Qwen3.8-27B (8-bit) · AA score 20.1.

How is renting a Mac different from renting a cloud GPU?

A 24GB VRAM GPU fits Qwen3.8-27B (4-bit) · AA score 20.1. A Mac with more RAM can run smarter models — for example, a 256GB Mac Studio runs GLM-5.3-Flash · AA score 27.8 — and Namtech installs the model and operates the machine for you. Speed and the number of simultaneous users depend on the GPU and memory bandwidth; Namtech tests before advising.

How does payment work?

A deposit of one month’s fee is paid when ordering and is not refunded if you cancel. Once the machine is ready, the deposit is deducted from the first payment. After that, pay monthly, or for Mac Studio prepay 3 months for 10% off or 6 months for 20% off. Payment is by bank transfer with a VAT invoice. If payment is overdue, the service may be suspended.

Do the prices include VAT?

Yes. Prices listed on this page include 10% VAT.
