Yes, best thing to do is research the hell of them before you make any call or email. Some great articles that I've shared with my team:

HNer's are probably not the target demographic for MacBook rentals, mostly folks who can either afford to buy or get a loaner in a pinch.
As a rental business benchmark--here's a good podcast interview by Scott Britton with Noah Lehmann, who started an exotic car rental operation> http://life-longlearner.com/noah-lehmann-haupt-interview/

This just seems like an ad for the bContext app. There's a link to an article about cold-emailing prospects that had a lot more meat, imo.
