Thanks for your reply. Can you share how these laptops are managed? I took another look at the article but didn't find that information there.

I.e I'm curious if there's a cloud provider managing them for you or you guys keep them in a closet somewhere.

We omitted the details for the sake of brevity (the article is already really long), but we run agents on the test devices and plug them into CI. Agents allow remote access for servicing remotely, and that's enough most of the time.

For things like system updates and taking care of the hardware - we do it manually today. The fleet is still small, so it is manageable but in the future we would like to consider a vendor, if we can find one.

Thanks!
