The business line has more security features, and usually better build quality (not just on the outside) than normal consumer line.

Damn short arrow keys on the HP notebooks kills it for me. Hopefully another company can produce a similar-looking notebook with decent backlit keys.

Ok, found the product page...
It is called Spectre XT. no pro in it...
The new Spectre Xt has Intel's 3rd gen. processors. It is 0.1'' thinner at max height and 1lbs lighter. These are the differences that I found.

Take a look here!

Looks sleek and better than the original imo.
