this deal posted earlier, but I find that the deal is a great value on the lower models specifically. The coupons apply in a way that make this E15 Gen 4 ~$50 cheaper than the equivalent E14 Gen 4.

You can upgrade the ram to the 16gb model r get your own stick later on for about the same price later on, but based on discussion in the previous thread only 16gb will run in dual channel.
The one issue people may have is the color it is listed as "Mineral Metallic" so not the black shown in most of the images on the product page.

The problem is there are no L15 Gen 4 yet it seems.
The internals are basically the same if you get the 16gb model. Mainly need to decide if you want the higher res screen or Thinkpad design, minus the extra USB C port. Thinkpads, even the E series feels more durable than the Ideapad 5, but also not as sleek. More of a utilitarian design. The keyboard on the Thinkpad is also better IMO although I don't know if they changed anything in Gen 4 with the KB.

Yeah it's my main gripe, but at $560 after tax and cash back it's hard to beat on a 15" Thinkpad. If I am honest my laptop rarely is seen by anyone other than my wife so I don't know why I should be complaining. I just want the classic black Thinkpad color for no good reason.
