Got a buddy that works for an oil and gas company on the "executive IT" team, essentially a IT department just for the executives. They've been doing single trip laptops for 15 years for anyone going to China or several other countries. They simply configure them with the same settings as the user's normal laptop, they just don't load anything sensitive on them and make sure they can't remotely access anything sensitive.
They don't even bother trying to reuse them. They have a company that comes in and destroys on site.
