Pedestrian specs, but plenty useable and pretty decent for the price. Stuck with 8GB RAM, but the 512GB SSD is a nice plus at this price. Currently available for shipping, but ugh ... $19.85 shipping for me in IN. Save that by picking up in store if you can.

Unfortunately, Soldered LPDDR5 means it's NOT upgradable.

I don't see where anyone has been able to confirm it's a TN panel. Even if it is, this is a $250 budget laptop... they had to make some cuts. This would still be a great deal, even with a TN panel.

According to Lenovo's website, this model number corresponds to the 300 nit IPS panel 45% NTSC. If this is accurate, this is a pretty great deal if you're only doing productivity work. IPS, backlit KB, touchscreen, 11hr battery life, 15W 8-core šŸ‘

IPS or TN display? I don't see anything mentioned about the type of display panel.

Good question. Can't find this exact model at Lenovo's PSREF site, but they show the series as coming with either a TN 250 nit screen or IPS 300 nit. Adorama [adorama.com] shows this exact model as being 300 nit but says nothing of the panel type, FWIW. Same at AntOnline [antonline.com].

Damn tempting. Specs say it actually has a backlit keyboard, which is a must for me. Had been looking for something with 16gb ram, though (currently running win 10 w 8gb ram, and have seen several recs to go up to 16gb for win 11). Will have to consider this anyway at this price!

Ugly TN panel. Shame on companies for using TN panel in 2024.

How did you determine it was a TN panel?

Yeah, I know. I never look at upgrading anyhow - I gets what I gets when I buy it, lol.

Seeing Lenovo ThinkPad T480s 14" (Refurbished) for $299 at Microcenter with Intel Core i7 8650U (1.9GHz) Processor, 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD. Is that good?

Given it's low price, you should just assume TN.
