If you have a Macbook that you love, let's make sure that it is compliant for use at Payton.

Your device must meet the hardware requirements listed to the left. Please note that iOS devices (such as iPads) DO NOT meet compliance requirements.
Make sure that you have Google Chrome browser installed, as our curricula platform requires it.

Compliance tests:

System Requirements: Check that you have a compliant version of MacOS and enough RAM by following these steps.
Boot-up: Fully shut down your Macbook (a full shutdown; do not put to sleep). Using a stopwatch, turn your computer back on, and allow MacOS to boot up. Log in to MacOS and open Chrome web browser. Navigate to google.com. After the page finishes loading, stop your timer. If you're able to complete this task in under 3 minutes, your device has passed the test!
Battery: This test takes some time, so you may need to schedule this one during a longer session of use. Fully charge your MacBook battery to 100%. Unplug your charger and steadily use your laptop for 15 minutes. Activities such as web research and/or typing an assignment are best for this test. Be sure to close any games or other resource intensive programs as they will skew your results. After 15 minutes, click the battery icon in finder. If it displays at least 3 more hours remaining, your device passed the test!

Please respond to the Device Survey by June 15, 2018 for each Payton student.
