Knowing MY MacBook
25.April.2010 17:24 Filed in: Tech Tips
With
over 600 white Apple MacBooks being distributed to
certified staff in School District 21, staff members
continue to ask what they can do to tell their laptop
apart from others. First, remember that regardless
which company’s laptop was chosen to be the District
21 laptop, they would all look the same. This is also
true in other school districts as well as in the
corporate world. Typically, organizations will deploy
similar or identical laptops to all staff, and the
same question/issue would be true in those cases.
First, when you are logged in, you will know your laptop is your laptop because you will see your Desktop and your Documents. Additionally, under the Apple in the upper left-hand corner, you will see your name at the bottom of that menu (pictured below).
Second, you should know your laptop’s number, which is located on the bottom of the laptop on the CCSD21 Inventory Tag. (This is a five-digit number, and this is also the name of your computer.) This is on the bottom of your laptop.
Finally, no matter what you do, please do not use any adhesives on your computer, power pack, or Mini-Display Port adaptor. Likewise, do not use a Sharpie or similar marker to mark the surface of these objects.
