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

Based on a blog I read, Microsoft intends to launch these laptops for consumers at a later date, post their initial business-focused release.

Interesting strategy. Thanks. I think it risks decreasing the impact of the launch.

"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.
