I upvoted you. I didn't understand the down vote. The other deal was posted first too so anyone with a deal alert for a ThinkPad should have seen it.

The reason for that is probably because this has a touchscreen. The ryzen 5 processor this comes with is absolutely enough for the majority of people. For many, Ryzen 7 would be overkill and they'd rather trade it off for a touchscreen with unnoticeable decrease in system performance.
As an overall deal/laptop, I'd consider the current configuration better bang for your buck.

I need something in this price range but with a graphics card that can run lightroom. Their requirements say a GPU with support for DirectX 12 and 2GB-4GB VRAM. Has anyone used lightroom on a laptop with an integrated graphics card? Will it work?

Fortunately it's not, lenovo must not be paying the licensing to save a few bucks. I don't get why their prosumer lines have it but not the business class models.

It definitely is only exclusive to Intel right now. No laptop using AMD has thunderbolt.
To the best of my knowledge, AMD will get the license to use thunderbolt with their next gen CPUs.

Again, this is not true. AMD can handle Thunderbolt with an external controller that needs to be licensed by Intel. It's a matter of cost. Higher end AMD laptops purporerldy have this.

Regardless, I've answered my question after some further research. Unfortunately, it's a price savings issue.

Idk what you're smoking but there's no AMD laptop out there which houses a thunderbolt 4 port/output.
You're probably confusing TB4 with USB-C.

Next time, do more research.

I'm thinking I need another version or two to iterate so you can more seamlessly support 2x 4k60hz via a dock. As of now it seems like there are wonky workarounds (or running one at 30hz which isn't ideal). Unless there is a new dock solution I'm not aware of.

you know, it would be interesting if you actually list the "Higher end AMD laptops" that you were referring to, especially with "answered my question after some further research".

Quora post aren't always accurate.
at this point of time, there are NO amd laptop with thunderbolt, price saving or not, there is NONE. a thunderbolt controller requires 4x pcie lanes, and AMD laptop chip has 16 or 12 pci-e lane, 8 is for GPU, 4 for Nvme, and 4 for WiFi and other peripherals. there simply isn't room for a TB device for the current AMD mobile chip design. you may get the TB device on high end AMD desktops, but not laptops

Thank you. You've summed it up perfectly.

How does this compare to this one? Apologies if it's a rookie question. Just need a new one to replace my all-purpose laptop. Mostly need it for work from home needs but also use it as a home PC.

On Thunderbolt: Intel removed the licensing fee a few years ago, but AFAIK no AMD laptop has a Thunderbolt port. That's likely to change with TB4.

But unless you require an eGPU or the absolute fastest transfer rates with external storage (but Thunderbolt SSDs are quite expensive), then it doesn't really matter. The USB-C port on this laptop works just fine for Power Delivery and display port output, and enables single-cable docking.
