I never quite got this distinction between consumer and non consumer machines, when you can buy high end ThinkPads (but not the blocky T models) at a retailer, and are just as nice as big old blocky good old ThinkPads.
I'm really interested if a high end (but "consumer") ThinkPad like http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Lenovo-ThinkPad-Yoga-i7-256GB-Signature-Edition-2-in-1-PC/productID.306276200 http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Lenovo-T... that you can buy at a retail store (in this case, a special MSFT Store version that has plain Windows supposedly on it) was infected.

It didn't have bloatware crap installed (as say US govt or big companies would not like that). It came with a smart card reader and such. Had a fingerprint scanner (back when there were not common). Initially also they didn't have all these "consumer" models (Y,G,W,...).
