Applies To: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2
A Portable Computer targeting item allows a preference item to be applied to computers or users only if the processing computer is identified as a portable computer in the current hardware profile on the processing computer, or if the processing computer is identified as a portable computer with the docking state specified in the targeting item. When Is Not is selected, the targeting item allows the preference item to be applied only if the processing computer is not identified as a portable computer in the current hardware profile on the processing computer, or if the docking state of the processing computer differs from the docking state specified in the targeting item.

To reposition a targeting item within the list of targeting items that you have applied to a preference item, either drag the targeting item to a new position, or select the targeting item and then click the Move Up arrow or Move Down arrow.
