There are two basic types of computer equipment, consumer goods (think big box retailers) and professional grade office equipment. Often manufacturers offer what appears to be the same computer make and model in both their home and business divisions, but they are actually not the same computer. A good analogy we use, a construction professional generally doesn’t go to a big box retailer to purchase a drill or a commercial kitchen isn’t using an Eaton Viking 4 burner home range. These people, like yourself, are professionals and require professional grade equipment to ensure the most up time as possible.

Business computers are built to last, with higher quality components that are tested more rigorously. Parts used for consumer computers may be more generic or even cheap, while computers designed for professional use more often include higher-grade materials and name-brand parts. This emphasis on durability means that a business class laptop or desktop you buy now should last you several years.
