The ICG owns a couple of spare laptops to be used by ICG members and guests if needed on a short-term basis (e.g. in case of a hardware failure of own equipment, an internal or external conference, etc.).

Our laptop pool currently consists of a few PC laptops running CentOS 7 & Windows 7 as well as a few older MacBooks running MacOS X. An overview about the hardware and software specs can be found HERE.

In order to get one of these laptops, you simply have to follow these steps:

1. Go to the online Guest Laptop Reservation Form and submit your request. It will be processed as soon as possible and, if possible, a fitting laptop will be reserved/prepared for you.
   
   Do not forget to fill in any special requirements you may have (hardware & software) in the comment section.
2. Come to the ICG IT office (DS 2.04) to pick up your laptop at the checkout date (maybe give the ICG IT support a short notice to make sure that there is somebody there).
3. Sign the Checkout form & take your laptop (the same form will be counter-signed by a member of the ICG IT support when you return the laptop later on).

That’s all. For any questions, as always, contact your friendly ICG IT support staff 🙂
