WHAT TYPE OF LAPTOP WILL I RECEIVE?

You will be lent a Dell Pro 16 with the Windows operating system. It has a built-in camera for video calls, online classes, doctor appointments, and more. You will also receive a carrying case, power adapter, and charging cable.

Each laptop comes with a 5-year warranty through AGi Protect Plus. If you have issues with your laptop, you can contact the device supplier directly for help with repairs or tech support.

The warranty provides:

• Unlimited accidental damage repairs
• 5 years of battery coverage with unlimited replacements

• Expected turnaround time of 3–7 days

WHAT STEPS DO I NEED TO TAKE?

Before you get your laptop, you must attend two meetings at your library:

1. Eligibility & Intake: A meeting with your librarian to check if you qualify.
2. Skills Training & Device Distribution: A session to learn how to use your laptop & to pick it up.
