I experienced the same with Dell laptops. Consumer grade practically disintegrated and couldn’t be repaired; enterprise grade could be dropped or even thrown and likely still be repairable with readily available parts. That was 10 years ago though, so I can only imagine the enshittification current techs are dealing with
Eh, I was issued multiple ZBooks at work, but I travel for work, and it’s not fun carrying the weight of a mobile workstation on your back, plus everything else.
At least I can put the power brick, which weighs about the same as an actual brick, in the checked luggage.
I mean… the enterprise zbooks are fairly nice, a used one ran me about $200-$300 on ebay. I’m pretty content with it.
I think usually enterprise stuff does have a good build quality, yeah, at least compared to consumer stuff

Nahh that’s really the same deal on their current laptops. Consumer grade is disposable and fragile, meanwhile their corporate sub-brands are tanks

They’re as heavy as the universe
I like my laptops nice and thiccc (and with a frickin’ numpad)
