Literally the only differences are s/company/company-staging/, all accesses should hit the same server with the same request other than the Host header.

Then you can update the DNS configuration for company-staging.com, and if that doesn't break there's very little scope for the update to company.com to go differently.

Also, while robust against the environment they're not so much against deliberate vandalism or theft. The target market for those seems to be construction/industrial and similar, and of course the military.

All school laptop fleets I've seen are simply the cheapest thing they can buy in bulk, when it breaks provision a new one.
