You are not the only one. I am in the same boat. I actually need to purchase some more to add to our fleet but am not sure the best way to do this. We also have issues with remembering login information
and we have a deep freeze on all of them but I still can’t get it to work properly.

Subject: [Michlib-l] laptops for checkout
Hello! Do any of you who lend laptops have to support them on your own? We don't have IT support to manage our fleet of laptops, nor do we have a large budget, so we've purchased relatively cheap laptops. While they are working just fine
for now, we are finding it more difficult to keep them up to date and to maintain the ability for students to check them out and remove identifying information upon return. As laptops become more personalized, it's harder and harder to keep them from remembering
login information. How do you all do that? Or, are we the only library without IT support or a budget for special software?
Thanks in advance!
