The 14 inch model has an intel i5 processor but otherwise same specs, for those who like smaller size. $642

The L14 model was just posted on here a couple of days ago for $456. Is this really a slickdeal for the E14 at almost $200 more?

That was an older model gen 2, older processor, 256 ssd, no backlit keyboard, specs that are lesser than this model. Whether or not this gen 4 deal is worth $186 more is up to anyone looking for a laptop.

Just bought this laptop last week, the one with 40gb of RAM for $700. So far I enjoy it, screen is a little meh. Build quality feels good. But that screen is a little annoying to deal with due to lack of brightness. I feel like at night it's fine, but in a bright-ish room (like, any room with a window before 6pm), i need the brightness at 85 - 100, which then drains the battery quicker (like maybe 5-6 hours per charge), where at night it gets 7-8 hours when at 60 brightness.

Also, the panel is described as a LEN40BA in device manager, which is mentioned a few times around the internet at 250 nits, but Lenovo says 300 nits. I am not sure which is accurate, so if you are counting on the last 50 nits to bring it to 300, be careful, as I'm not sure which is actually true.

Maybe common knowledge, but no ambient light sensor was a surprise to me. So adjusting screen brightness and turning on/off the keyboard backlight all need to be done manually, which feels strange in 2023 as my old 2018 laptop (that was a budget Acer Aspire) had those features.

Thank you. I was still holding out for thinkpad or similiar w rdna3. Your screen brightness input is helpful. I guess 300 nits varies with different manufacturers.

This seems to be the Achilles heel on all the well spec'd ThinkPads at budget prices...great specs except lackluster display, which is a rather important detail in a laptop.

Which, or are there any Thinkpad that does have better displays?

Back in stock. Just ordered one. Hope it will last more than 5 years as my current Thinkpad T420.
