10 years ago we used Lenovo. I've been using enterprise HPs for about 3 years, and they're total, flimsy, bloated crap. And, the bloat I'm talking about are the preinstalled HP tools that keep reinstalling every week or so if you uninstall them. I can't use the mouse, because the crappy flimsy metal case is warped out of the box (and has gotten worse with use) and causes the ill-fitting mouse to stick to the case.

You don't have a standard image from your IT dept?

What model? Is it their enterprise line, or are you using the cheap consumer line?

We do. But it installs the apps on its own after a couple weeks' time.

It's not the consumer line. We have a couple of those for contractors, since they tend to abuse the crap out of them, but the rest are elite books I think. I guarantee they're not the top of the line.
