Deliver estimated between Wed. Nov 16 - Fri. Nov 18. Any idea if Lenevo ships it before these estimated date? Worried if this will miss the Amex offer which expires Nov 14th?

This is what I learned from another Amex offer for the Dell that I recently used - they take the date when the CC initiated the charge, not when it was finalized. The deal was expiring on 10/20, I purchased online on 10/19 and got an email of qualification almost immediately and noticed a pending charge. The item was shipped on 10/21 and the payment closed on 10/22 and I saw the Amex credit on that very day.

Anybody else had similar experience?

Meh spec for the price IMO. The E series is the entry business line like Vostro, barely better than their consumer line. Look for T series if you want a midgrade business laptop.

Offers usually get triggered right away, I have the same experience. Only time I got screwed with Amex offer was with platinum business card $200 credit last year. I ordered from dell on 12/31 and the actual charge didn't hit until 1/3 even though it was pending. As a result, I lost $200 credit for 2nd half of 2021, Amex csr wouldn't budge said they can do anything.

Yeah I never used an E series. I've always had a T series from work and they really are solid. Besides the dock connector the the E's don't have, and I'm assuming weight difference, is there a big hit in build quality?

Yes. The E series does not certify for any rugged standard, uses primarily plastic material and has less a durable design. Apparently 4 years ago starting with the E480 they are using better material (like aluminum frame in some models), but still not quite the same as the T. A few Reddit posts highlight the main differences.

I don't see any good deals on business laptops like Lenovo T series or HP zbook / Dell latitiude. All recent deals are for non business laptops

For anyone considering OP's config, I'd skip the 8GB RAM stick and just add your own 8 / 16 GB stick after receiving it.

You should be good, they should ship and bill before the end of the Amex offer. They take an extra day to bill your card though.

Lenovo has an extended return period so I think it's worth a try.

T series ​is a few hundred dollars more, plus it's fully soldered RAM.

The T16 AMD doesn't have a dock connector anymore, same with the T14 / T14s Gen 3 AMD.

Code THINKBIGDEALS should get you 55% off the T series lineup, plus any applicable coupon codes (ie 5% with the now expired code THINKOUT), and 5% ID.me.

You can also try chatting a rep and asking for floor pricing.

The USB 3.2 Gen 1 port is just a fancy name for USB 3.0 (on both USB-A and USB-C). I don't know what the USB 2.0 port is doing in there. Only 3 USB ports on a 15.6 inch laptop. Is it even cheaper to make a USB 2.0 port anymore? Or did they downgrade it just to segment their products? The screen is bottom of the barrel with that color coverage.

I'm really not seeing the draw of this laptop, other than maybe the Ryzen 7 CPU performance, even that comes with a super old iGPU that hasn't improved since 2018. I'm seeing $500 laptops from Costco these days with 1 or 2 USB-C supporting Thunderbolt 3/4 and all USB-A ports are USB 3.1, and a better screen with better warranty.
