What is considered commercial goods by the US CBP?

So, I recently got "talked to" for not declaring 4 laptops I was carrying back for a non-profit (from an overseas convention). I was told they were commercial goods and I should have declared them. This begs the question of what constitutes "commercial goods"? If you have one company laptop does that constitute "commercial goods"? Do presentations? I had always assumed it only referred to samples or things for sale but according to at least one agent I am wrong.
