It could really stand to suck a little less. Based on this thread I went to checkout the Elitebook line and the "View all notebook products" link from the Elitebook line page just goes to a promo for some new one that isn't available yet, and when you go to the shop it just takes you to search results with 217 results for "elitebook"

Yep, there's no way to filter on things that I really care about. 217 results, sure, I'll read each one, make notes and then choose.
