PRESS RELEASE - EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY - Computers for the Blind

Effective immediately, with the receipt of a very shipment of i5 series laptops, all laptops will now have working batteries!

Background:  Historically CFTB had ongoing shortage of laptops.  We therefore shipped all that we had.  Some of them required them to be tethered to a charger at all times as the batter was dead.  This is no longer the case.  All computers will now have working batteries.  We still cannot guarantee the working life of the battery but it will be working fine at the time of receipt or it will be replaced.

The CFTB Refurbishing Center now has room for 40 volunteers per shift and we have received an influx of volunteers so we can ship them out within 1-2 weeks.  That is our current wait time.  This will continue throughout the spring and summer months.

Customer service staff are standing by to take orders and orders can now be placed through our website:<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersfortheblind.org%2Fapplication.php&data=02%7C01%7Ccarol.pankow%40state.mn.us%7Cd638bd6c880c4d2863ee08d6b8f8042b%7Ceb14b04624c445198f26b89c2159828c%7C0%7C1%7C636899772698674272&sdata=k7hu2ovf4EUmCDod3iNy7eExlm3aWfe2rff8bB4Ozt0%3D&reserved=0>
