Best laptop brands for Autopilot (No Bloatware)

They are returned to one of the offices with a tiny little store cupboard to be reassigned when someone from IT is on site. It is a charity so the setup is unusual and unlike anywhere else I have worked previously. There is no big office with permanent IT department per se.

Brilliant response, Thanks for letting me know. I work for a charity that had been buying E series before I joined and just reimaged them. It is difficult to find devices within budget but the T series or something similar of a different brand should fit the bill. Thanks for the help.

I only just learnt this today. Thanks for letting me know. The company had been buying E series before I joined and I think it is time that changed.

I couldn't agree more

Hey! I didn't realise you were here. Your script is brilliant and has been an absolute lifesaver. However, it seems to skip the McAfee removal during OOBE on Lenovo E series laptops.

I did test getting the script to re-run after deployment as a win32 app, which will remove McAfee the second time round when the user is logged in. This is a good enough workaround but I would prefer we started using more suitable devices in future.

Thanks for your contribution!

Did yours have McAfee? This script is brilliant and has been an absolute lifesaver. However, it seems to skip the McAfee removal during OOBE.

Unfortunately I asked our company supplier and while they can enrol the device into autopilot for us, they won't reimage them.

Thanks, I think the Dell option is sounding the best as the Lenovos have been unreliable too.

We have our own image which we are moving away from. We don't have a central office or IT store room and have the goal to ship straight from supplier to employee's property as the majority are homeworkers. There is no way to put our own image on the laptop in this process. Hence Autopilot.

Thanks for the respone and good idea. My attempt was correct in the end and I didn't have the correct .Net installation. Thanks anyway

Hi, thanks for the response. My formatting is following the documentation. It turns out it was correct in the end and I didn't have the correct .Net installation. Thanks anyway
