8) use it ONLY as a drivers station- kind of ties in with 4, but keeping the drivers station pristine will allow for peak performance.

I have to disagree. Our drive laptops (old ones fitted with SSDs) are also our primary programming laptops and have been used for other things in the past, including CAD. The point being, they're overloaded with software but we experienced no issues due to startup time or slowness (the SSDs really help)
Anyway there's no point having drive laptops separate from programming laptops - it's easier to have the tools all in one place
