      And if they are super abusive users you can always go with Getac or Panasonic Toughbooks. Panasonic tends to have many driver issues and slowness problems.

        HP Elitebooks are no different than the HP Probook 6000 series, except they are supposed to be more rugged for travel. There is a huge price increase though, and a solid HP Probook 6xxx series is just as good as any Elitebook. All Elitebooks work with a docking station but the HP Probook 4xxx series isn't docking station compatible. I have the HP Probook 6570b with the 120W Advanced Docking Station. Couldn't be happier with it. 😄

          They have GPU options better suited for CAD and other graphics.

            Interesting. I've not seen that. Mine has an AMD Radeon 7570M with 1GB of DDR5.

              @ajstringham Radeon is definitely not engineering class. CAD work will want either a Nvidia Quadro or AMD FirePro

                Interesting. GPUs are not my forte. That's good to know.

                  So, edit, the Probook is as good as an Elitebook in most use cases, unless there is a extremely high durability or graphics need, in that case.

                    I bought an EliteBook 2570p a while back for our MD. He loves it. I think it looks pretty ugly.

                    I'm about to buy another Elitebook for our FD, but the 2570 has gone end of life. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

                        That is the HP Business Outlet center. If you only want one, find a Probook in the 6000 series. Get one that matches your specs and get the 3-year support plan, which will comp you your shipping and only cost another $30-40 on top of the cost of the laptop (once shipping savings is subtracted). Their inventory changes day-to-day, hour-to-hour though. If you find something you like, and it's at the price you want, jump on it.
