I have also wondered this. I purchased both of my 4705's from PC Connection. Each PPC came in a standard brown box (with HP logo) with a simple label on the outside describing the contents. Although they shipped to my office, they were billed to my credit card.
So if I ordered these through a corporate account (which PC Connection does a lot of, as does Comp USA) would they have shipped me 4700's instead. Just doesn't make any sense.
Bottom line is it's costing the consumer more because HP has to make two different models (even if only the shipping label is different, it's still different). If they could track whom they are shipping these devices to, the different model numbers / SKU's would not be necessary. Probably a limitation of SAP.
