Laptops is a post-Build program available to most people who have completed Build. You will need an instructor to sign off and move you into post-Build. It is much more hands on that Build, as you will need to replace many more components than you would in a regular desktop build. As apposed to a typical build shift, often in Laptops we have you take the system from evaluation straight through the build process.
 +
It would be helpful to take both our Command Line 1 and Command Line 2 class, as we do much more in command line than Build. You will need to be comfortable working with small parts; cables, wires and screws are all much smaller in laptops than they are in a standard desktop.

The laptop program requires a great deal of pc hardware experience, so it is expected that all students have gone through the build program before moving into the black hole.  From here, we have some familiar steps:
+
Spanish Build is currently Wednesday afternoons.  
−
# [[Laptop Evaluation]] - determine if the incoming pizza boxes are full of tasty, fresh goodness or dried and rotting crap.
 
−
# Laptop QC - double-check the builder's work, time the battery life, keep things clean and standardized.
 
−
# Laptop Build/Repair - Now that you're familiar with things, get your hands dirty with questionably functional laptops.

In addition, there are some tasks that can be done throughout your time in the black hole:
 
−
* harddrive testing
 
−
* os installation
 
−
* ram sorting
 
−
* shelf organizing

Program

Laptops is a post-Build program available to most people who have completed Build. You will need an instructor to sign off and move you into post-Build. It is much more hands on that Build, as you will need to replace many more components than you would in a regular desktop build. As apposed to a typical build shift, often in Laptops we have you take the system from evaluation straight through the build process. It would be helpful to take both our Command Line 1 and Command Line 2 class, as we do much more in command line than Build. You will need to be comfortable working with small parts; cables, wires and screws are all much smaller in laptops than they are in a standard desktop. Laptops is also a good starting place if you then want to move onto Macbuild.
