    Broadly speaking what are they key differences between the consumer oriented devices and business oriented ones? Better battery life on the latter?

      Generally build quality and repairability. Any IT department will favour devices that can have common failure points (battery, SSD, screen) replaced with a single screwdriver, and with that comes the need for stronger chassis and modular designs because you can’t rely on glueing everything in. Also, with the exception of Apple fanbois, IT techs are quick to condemn manufacturers who let pro grade kit standards slip, which could mean a few years of lost sales.

        pro grade kit standards

        Which are you referring to? Build quality and repairability? IME, enterprise laptops are well built, but generally have horrible quality displays in terms of both resolution and color gauntlet support.
