Would they give a choice (of say; Surface Laptop, MacBook, Lenovo/Dell/HP) or it will be decided by Admin and you have to accept it on Day1 ?

PS: Although laptop brand is not a big criteria, I am trying to understand what's the process like? (I heard that in Google, PMs would have a choice; either MacBook or Pixel book)

      Got it. But, I think, in India things are different I guess!
      Whatever stock/lot is available that month, you will be offered only that without any choice 😌
      Not sure if asking HM can force the Admin team to send a different one 🤔

      I’m on Engineering Fundamentals team under Digital Experience (Scott). It may just be special to your org or whatever inventory admin has access to from zones at that time.
