is the 7730u CPU worth the difference? What else is improved?

Why does Lenovo keep using these 250-nit 45% NTSC screens? They're awful.

To compete with prices from HP and Dell, who also offer these screens to corporate customers.

Because most consumers in this price range don't know what a nit is. They're just looking for the cheapest passible device. So if they use a higher quality screen, they're going to lose sales, especially corporate sales, to their competitors who offer lower prices with cheaper screens.

Don't let the newer generation fool you. It's a Ryzen 3 with 4 cores, 8GB RAM and worst of all you're getting a 1366 x 768 TN Panel. The specs posted in OP completely trump this one.

If I were in the market for a laptop, I would get this one. It checks most of my boxes. The 256GB SSD is a bit small, but it is easily upgraded (standard M2 slot). I don't game, so this is a perfect, solid choice.

It's 328.98 via the Lenovo Ebay store. Plus you get the 2 year allstate warranty vs the 1 year Lenovo.

Solid laptop, but buyers be aware, if I'm not mistaken this one has a 2242 sized m.2 slot, which sits in a particular position on the motherboard, only allowing single sided 2242 m.2 drives (or 2230 with an adapter), similar to ones used on a steam deck and other smaller devices, which makes upgrading internal storage a tad more expensive than usual.

Also available from ebay [ebay.com]at a cheaper price including free shipping.

Source: bought one, planned on using my existing 2tb 2280 m.2 but apparently won't be able to.

Really tempted by this model. A few notes:
  • The SSD is a M.2 2242, so you can't use a 'full length' M.2 2280 drive in it. To use the M.2 2230 size that is popular from the Steam Deck, etc, you'll need an adapter.
  • The upgradable RAM seems good, but apparently compatibility with speeds/latencies is a bit spotty.
  • The 5875U (and 5850U) appear to be minor refreshes of the 5825U, so that's a good benchmark check.
  • ThinkPad Linux compatibility is generally good. This model appears to be certified for Ubuntu: https://ubuntu.com/certified/202204-30188
  • The dim screen is a bit of a bummer. I have a ThinkBook 14 ITL with a 300 nit glossy screen that is... fine, so I suspect this would be somewhat disappointing by comparison.
  • I do wish it had USB4/Thunderbolt. I know TB on non-Intel laptops is usually out of the question, but USB4's eGPU support is the answer.
  • The L-series is a lower-end ThinkPad with a plastic case, instead of the Magnesium-reinforced case on higher-end models. There will be some flex.
