A business laptop should be easy to identify as company equipment and difficult to use as a route into company data if it goes missing. 39Degrees can supply managed rental laptops with custom asset branding and, where agreed as part of onboarding, Microsoft Intune management through the customer’s Microsoft 365 Business Premium environment.
Make company ownership obvious
A clearly branded laptop is less likely to be confused with a personal device or another organisation’s equipment. Visible ownership information can also make it easier for staff, venues, couriers and honest finders to identify where a misplaced laptop belongs. Branding is a practical asset-control measure, not a substitute for technical security.
- Company logo or approved ownership label
- Unique asset number for each laptop
- Support or return contact details where appropriate
- Optional QR code or asset reference linking to an approved support/return page
- Consistent placement so staff can identify managed equipment quickly
Reduce mix-ups when people work remotely or share spaces
Hybrid workers move devices between offices, homes, trains, customer sites and shared meeting spaces. When several similar Dell or HP laptops are together, a visible company identity and asset number can reduce accidental swaps and make missing equipment easier to trace through the asset register.
All managed rental laptops can be asset branded
39Degrees can apply customer-approved asset branding to rental laptops supplied through 39it.co.uk for £75 + VAT per rented laptop as a one-off charge. The branding can be standardised across different laptop models so every device follows the same ownership convention.
Use Intune to protect the business data, not just the hardware
Microsoft Intune Plan 1 is included with Microsoft 365 Business Premium. Intune can enrol and manage Windows devices, apply configuration and compliance policies, and report device status centrally. That gives the business a control layer even when the laptop is away from the office.
Require compliant devices before they reach company resources
Intune compliance information can be used with Microsoft Entra Conditional Access so access to Microsoft 365 and other organisational resources can be restricted to devices that meet the required controls. A lost or unmanaged device therefore does not have to be treated as trusted simply because somebody knows a password.
Take remote action when a laptop is lost or stolen
Depending on platform, enrolment and configuration, Intune provides remote device actions including sync, retire, delete and wipe. A full wipe removes data and settings from the device. This gives the IT team an important response option when recovery of the physical laptop is uncertain.
Build security into onboarding and offboarding
The strongest process joins the physical asset record to the user account and device-management record. When a new starter joins, the device can be branded, recorded and enrolled. When somebody leaves, access can be removed and the laptop recovered, reassigned or returned under a controlled process.
Branding and Intune solve different parts of the problem
A logo or asset label helps people recognise and return the physical device. Intune helps the business control the digital relationship between that device and company data. Used together with Microsoft 365 Business Premium, endpoint protection, encryption, MFA and managed support, they create a stronger lifecycle than relying on a laptop serial number alone.
Frequently asked questions
Can you put our company logo on rental laptops?
Yes. 39Degrees can apply customer-approved asset branding to rental laptops for £75 + VAT per rented laptop as a one-off charge. The exact label, placement and information can be agreed before deployment.
Does branding stop a laptop being stolen?
No. Branding cannot prevent theft. It can make ownership clearer, reduce accidental swaps and make a misplaced device easier to identify and return.
Is Microsoft Intune included with Microsoft 365 Business Premium?
Yes. Microsoft currently includes Microsoft Intune Plan 1 with Microsoft 365 Business Premium. The features used for each customer depend on the agreed configuration and Microsoft licensing terms.
Can Intune wipe a lost Windows laptop?
Intune supports remote actions including wipe for managed devices. Whether a particular action succeeds depends on the device being correctly enrolled, its platform and its ability to receive the management command.
Can you block a non-compliant laptop from Microsoft 365?
Intune compliance status can be integrated with Microsoft Entra Conditional Access so organisational resources can require a device to be marked compliant before access is granted.
Do all 39Degrees rental laptops have to use the same branding?
No. Branding can follow the customer’s agreed standard, while different laptop models can still carry the same ownership, asset and support information.
