Would you say enthusiast grade or business grade products are better quality? (lemmy.world)

Just a shower thought. Obviously depends on the industry, but in terms of electronics I fee enthusiast grade (think gaming motherboards, for example) are better built than professional grade. Thoughts?

67N, helicopter mechanic and crew member. I really wanted to go airborne, but my unit wouldn't pay for it. I should have got it in my contract when enlisting, then I could have gone right after AIT. That's when you're at the height of fitness anyways, after six months straight of training, so airborne school wouldn't be quite as hard. I petitioned my unit several times during AIT, but the answer was always no. Oh well! Not going probably saved my knees. Did you see any combat? I was too young for the 1st Iraq war, and got out right before 9/11, so I never went to war.
