I bought my wife a cheap Lenovo laptop when she needed something that supported the “Lockdown” browser (no Linux support). Didn’t realize when I bought it what “S” meant (and I’ve been an IT guy for over 20 years). Got it home and realized what was up, it couldn’t even run that browser because it had to be the preconfigured browser from her school and not one from the MS store. An evening of fiddling and a $3 grey market key and she was back onto a normal Windows install.

On the plus side the laptop was only like $299 or $399 and really isn’t too bad on the hardware side.
