How It Works

  1. Device Link connects directly to the MacBook and runs a suite of diagnostic tests to make sure the MacBook and its battery life are in good working condition.
  2. The automation software captures all necessary system information, detects activation locks, checks battery life, and performs total, secure cryptographic erasure with just a few clicks.
  3. Device Link has the option to run manual hardware tests to inspect the MacBook’s: Keyboard, Touchpad, Screen, Camera, Audio Input, and Audio Output.
  4. All test and erasure information is included in a tamper-proof erasure certificate that is immediately available from Device Link or the customer portal.
  5. An optional production label can be generated to work with your internal process.
