My issue with laptops left anywhere in the office is that they may "grow legs." And then esccape. yeah, I know folks will say that can't happen in their office. For a varitiety of reasons. Nevertheless, I've worked in and around many offices of various businesses and this happens if they are not secured down. But then they are't portable.
Desktops are pretty cheap now too. Like an el cheapo Dell Vostro. As the unit that will sit FDH (Fat, Dumb and Happy) in the exam room, it or something cheaper will do. Probably wont cost more than a laptop. And yes, hardwire the things. Toshiba makes decent cheaper laptops. $550 or so total. There is another brand that is reputed to be good, but i cant remember their name. Starts with an "A" I believe.
Electrical wire network that works through your outlet?? Thats a new one one me. Is there a brand name you can give so Ican google it?
