ThinkPad Twist Convertible Laptops and Cart A How-To Tutorial for Students
Set Up and Clean Up • Cleanly remove and return computers. • Carefully unplug laptops without yanking power cords loose from cart. • Carry laptops securely. • Plug in and place laptops in the correct slot at end of class. • Do not take laptops from the classroom. The laptops must stay in the room with the cart. • The more care and time you take with computers, the longer they will last. • Computer use is a privilege. If you violate the rules outlined in your technology contract, you risk losing that privilege.
Laptop Mode Open for business.

Tips and Tricks • You do not need a user name and password to log in to Twists. • Use same computer consistently for this reason. • This is also a good rationale for returning computers to the correct slot in the cart. • Delete your files from the computers after completing your projects and assignments. • When you shut the lid, the Twist will shut down.
If screen saver appears, swipe screen up with finger. • Sign out of apps by swiping down from top of screen or up from bottom of screen to get to main menu. • To split screen (25/75), swipe slowly from the left. Good for note taking. • To lock screen orientation, press button just above power button. • Touch pad sometimes lags; use touch screen if you need more precision.
