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 laptops.  Additionally, volunteers are required to take the command line class.

Primarily for data security reasons, but also for educational purposes, the [[Laptop Instructor Responsibilities]] require that he or she must be present to work on laptops.

From here, we have some familiar steps:
 
−
# [[Laptop Specs]] - Guidelines for Evaluators on the specs and what needs to be removed or included as systems move through Evaluation. Technology evolves. Current specs are also posted and updated on the whiteboard in the laptop area.
 
−
# [[Laptop Evaluation]] - Determine if the incoming pizza boxes are full of tasty, fresh goodness or dried and rotting crap.
 
−
# [[Laptop Build Checklist]] - Get your hands dirty with questionably functional laptops.  Side effects of this step may include frustration, yelling, belief in demonic forces at work within laptops, and learning all sorts of exciting new things.
 
−
# [[Laptop QC Checklist]] - Double-check the builder's work, keep things clean and standardized, and prepping laptops for their final destination.

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.
