One of the advantages of professional models is their build quality. Unlike consumer models, professional PCs (HP EliteBook, Lenovo ThinkPad, Dell Latitude, etc.) are made with more durable materials:

• Magnesium or aluminum alloy chassis
  

• Waterproof or splash-resistant keyboards
  

• Anti-shock systems to protect the hard drive
  

• Anti-glare screens for optimal visual comfort
  

These small details make all the difference in the long term, regardless of the intended use, but especially in a more flexible work environment where mobility is increasingly valued.
