At Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM), we have one Ubuntu workstation (DELL Optiplex 3010d) and one Ubuntu (Apple MacBook Pro) laptop.

Additionally we have three Windows 10 Design Workstations, other Windows computers in most of our work areas, and multiple printers for all our members to use without any additional required training (Level 1).

Members are also welcome to bring in their own computers and use our high-speed Internet connection.

Contact Us if you cannot find your answer here on our Wiki or if you notice any information that is outdated.
