The A485 (https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/lapt...nu-id=A485) should be out by then, but is a higher class and price than the E485. It might push the cost of the E series thinkpads lower though. Both A485 and E485 (and 585s) are missing thunderbolt though, but have USB-C. The T480 will still be better than the A485.
When I mentioned having both slots filled, I'm referring to the RAM. Vega graphics benefit from Dual Channel ram, which needs both slots filled.
Some notes on the naming scheme
Class | Screen size | Generation | Intel/AMD
A | 4 | 8 | 5
Class in order of price/durability: X>P>T>A>E . A and T are supposed to be the same class, A just for being AMD. But other countries are noticing inferior parts/options.
Screen size: 4 for 14 inch. 5 for 15 inch. 3 for 13 inch
Generation: The #8 is for 8th generation intels (or product line, haven't figured it out or cared enough), the current model. A E475 will be last year's model of similar features, but AMD due to the 5.
Intel/AMD: A E480 will be Intel. A E485 will be AMD.

An for Vega graphics, make sure to have both slots filled.
The options to get dual channel are:
8GB (4 + 4) DDR4 2400MHz +$53
16GB (8 + 8) DDR4 2400MHz +$159
Some people just buy the 4GB ram setup and buy their own RAM. Lenovo's 2x 4GB setup is cheaper. Aftermarket 2x 8GB ram only saves you $16, so not really worth it either to do it yourself. Not sure if this supports 2x 16GB, but the T480 does.

$430 for a Ryzen 5 sub 15" is a damn good deal, though it's a little heavy. People think if I waited around till Black Friday, some better options would pop up?

Yeah my 450s is definitely lacking some color but at least viewing angles are good. For under 500 using the perk code it's hard to pass up, nearly checks every box since I'm looking to go to USB pd and carry one charger for everything when traveling.
Is this good price? or do i have to wait for black friday as someone mentioned above?
But NO DOCK, battery seems to be non-replaceble = this is not thinkpad really
does lenovo have other models with ryzen?

I believe the P series is supposed to be the top of the line workstation class machines and the X and T series are in the same class with X focusing on portability and T focusing on durability. I believe the A series is either similar to the E series or the L series which you left off your list.
Spare batteries are $77
Under "^ Parts" click on "show more" under "Commodity type", go to "Rechargeable batteries". If you don't see Commodity type, click on schematics and then back to Parts to have it show up. You do not need to type in a serial#. There's 4 batteries, as there's different part providers. I believe the batteries are "internal" but removable as they plug in rather than soldered on or glued in place.
Ryzen 5 = Vega 8
There are also many youtube videos of people using Ryzen 5. I haven't watched it to know if it's good or bad. It seems playable on low setting though.

Note that the perks offer applies to everything, should the E485 not be to your liking. Ideapads may be cheaper, but not as well built as a Thinkpad E-Series. The E and L series are at the bottom of the Thinkpad line in quality, but are still built better than other consumer laptops you find at Best Buy or Walmart.
