You have bought a new laptop via the Neptun project. It is your laptop now, which means 

that maintenance, i.e. keeping it up to the latest security standards, and data care is in 
your responsibility. This document provides basic help. However, you can obtain support if 
you feel uncertain; more help is given in the next section. 

Detailed help is available on the Web at 
http://www.neptun.ethz.ch/services/support/ where you also find the list 

of the responsible helpdesks. The helpdesks are responsible for ETH-students only. ETH-
members are asked to refer to their departmental support group.
