This is a good very good thing! Let’s hope that Dell & Lenovo will also cover their more Consumer oriented devices (Lenovo Yoga, Lenovo Ideapad or Dell Non-Pro or XPS models) instead of just their Business oriented Models (like Dell Latitudes and Thinkpads/Thinkstation)
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.
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.
Let’s push for it to happen!! Collectively we make it happen! Also, for more companies to jump on board. Imagine Samsung jumping on board to make a Linux phone!

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

Yeah, I’d love to see my idea book not require windows to update firmware.
