-=== Additional Information ===
+The HP EliteBook laptop computers are a series of business-class laptops. The first models were announced in August 2008, and new models continue to be released as of 2020. HP generally stops supporting their models about ten years after release, so be aware that support for earlier models of HP laptop may no longer be available from the company. For this model, the support page still exists, but some links on the support page are no longer functional.

+You can use the service tag, a sticker located on the bottom of the computer, to find identifying numbers. Detailed information on these numbers and what they can be used for is on page 15 of this [http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02540249|HP support manual for getting started]. The ‘p’ suffix on the model number indicates that this computer is part of the ‘professional’ class of EliteBooks. P-models are generally classified by HP as laptops, while w-models are referred to as mobile workstations. According to HP, laptops are meant for less resource-consuming tasks such as typing or browsing, and workstations have the components to allow them to do more intensive tasks like animating or rendering.
