Why for Business? Can consumers not buy the Surface laptop anymore?

- denistaran 3y agoBased on a blog I read, Microsoft intends to launch these laptops for consumers at a later date, post their initial business-focused release.
- anoncow 3y agoInteresting strategy. Thanks. I think it risks decreasing the impact of the launch.
- 8K832d7tNmiQ 3y agoThe latest Surface Go 4 still sold only for business for 6 months begs to differ.

- 7thaccount 3y ago"These new PCs represent a major step forward in customer-focused design and are packed with features that business customers have been requesting – from amazing performance and battery life to more ports, better security and custom, durable anti-reflective displays." Not sure if only sold to businesses or what. It seems like Surface is a brand name synonymous with home consumers and they're trying to target business users, so they've added some necessary ports and did a bunch of marketing saying this is all "AI" focused, which seems to mean it'll have some annoying software that I hate like an intrusive thing in Excel to automatically make a chart out of my table when they pretty much already have that.
- dboreham 3y agoIt's some MS channel/Conway thing. They have long had a different web site for "business" and sold models (e.g. the Surface Go with LTE) that were only available to "business" customers. Actually, Dell had the same thing going on until recently.
- orev 3y agoThey are launching the consumer models in May. Or you can buy a business one from any reseller like CDW.
