Did they ask you to make a western union transfer in order to secure your application?

Siemens PG: forget about making a resume ever again.
Had to look it up, the version with a handle killed me
Unironically love that. There's a CD drive but what is that next to it? Is it a Zip drive?
The SSD slot. You can easily swap the ssd without having to open the computer. It takes a couple of minutes.
Oh, that's actually kind of cool. Is that for the primary drive or for swapping additional ones in and out?
For the primary. It is really useful when your ssd dies (happens more often than you'd think) and you need to keep working because you are operating in a situation where you can't afford to lose the time that would be required to swap disks opening the laptop. We have at least one spare ssd in my office always ready to be swapped in case of emergency.
There are also a lot of cool features on them:
They come with 4 usb ports, 2 ethernet ports + wifi, 1 dvi port, 1 dp, 1 serial port, 1 mpi/profibus port, pcie expansion, dvd unit and bluetooth (which is a given). They also, as per manufacturer warranty, can stand a fall from 1-1.5m without suffering damage.

It's actually pretty useful when you have to move around with it in your workplace. Tbh, I am so used to the handle that I'd miss it if my next computer didn't have it.

HP laptop: please remember to log out of ~~your~~ the laptop in case someone else needs to use it.
Edit: Management took offence at the language of the previous memo.
