Unlike some SANS classes, this one can be done without a laptop.

The official word from SANS on the need for a laptop is available here:

http://www.sans.org/course/securing-windows

Exerpts:

"Please note that bringing a laptop is optional, but recommended, and it's nice
to bring a CD-ROM drive too."

...

"What if I do not have a laptop or Windows Server Virtual Machine?

You are very welcome to attend the course if your VM does not meet the above
specifications or if you cannot bring a laptop at all. The manuals are filled
with screenshots and the instructor will be demonstrating software on a
projection screen, so you will not miss out. Typically, 50% of the audience
will not have laptops with Windows Server configured as a domain controller, so
you will not be alone; however, the course is much more enjoyable and
educational if you have Windows Server in a VM with you."
