The best thing about Intel/AMD based laptops is that you can happily delete Windows with joy and install Fedora Linux for some serious work or Bazzite for gaming (and work). 😎 No Windows spamware, spyware bloat, just freedom and Linux. 🐧🔥
Agree with Bazzite, it's amazing and made it easy to get rid of Windows.

Lenovo's site is so annoying! Why are there multiple listings for the same exact laptop with different pricing? Makes me reluctant to buy because I'm afraid I might not be getting the best price if I happen to be looking at the wrong page.

Anyway, I found a video that might be helpful to others who want to learn more about this machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1Enq9kKU7U

I like how lightweight it is for a 14" laptop, the fact that it has Windows Hello (so the lack of a fingerprint reader is less of an issue), the 120Hz screen, but the lack of a backlit keyboard is a problem for me even though I touch type (because I use the function keys regularly, and they're small in addition to being above the number row where my fingers cannot reach without lifting my hands away from the keyboard). There are higher priced variants with upgrades like backlit keyboards, touchscreens, more storage, etc. so thanks for putting this on my radar. I'll check sales during Black Friday because I do prefer Lenovo keyboards with the dedicated page up & page down keys,

The difference in the two deals is that the cheaper one is a link to the vipmembers/perksoffer portal. I don't know what the requirements for vip are, but it lets me add it to my cart and get to checkout without verifying any membership. I didn't go ahead and buy it (yet).

This one fits almost all of my criteria. Before pulling the trigger on it, does anyone expect that the price will go down, maybe at BF? This laptop is pretty new to the market so will it be discounted further as time goes on? Thanks.

Thanks. I don't have a crystal ball, but I'm not in desperate need of a new computer so I'm willing to wait for sales during the holiday season. I'm interested the upgraded model (with touchscreen, backlit keyboard, and 512GB SSD) which is currently priced at $829.

I have a ThinkBook 14 from about four years ago. I kept it charging all the time when I used it at home. I finally ditched it after the hinge broke from repeated falls due to me tripping over the charging cable. The screen is almost completely separated from the body, but it still works. Previously I had a Dell laptop that suffered the same fate.

I recently switched to an MacBook Air with a MagSafe connector. I have accidentally caught the cord several times, and it separated it from the machine without causing any damage to the computer. Actually, the MagSafe feature was a main selling point based on my use case.

I'm surprised they still make 256gb SSD laptops. I bought a $600 Dell for my parents 10 years ago and it had a 256gb SSD in it.

ThinkBook durability is awful. I manage IT for 9 hotels and one of my job is to buy and manage laptops for managers at the properties. After a year or so of use, the hinges are already starting to fail. ThinkPads rarely have hinge issues. Most common issue I have with our ThinkPads are batteries no longer holding a charge, broken USB-C ports, broken key caps, etc.

This has an extra M.2280 slot for storage expansion... Reminds me of the Motile laptops of years ago from Walmart.
I have an older Motile and it was very underrated during that time. There was a time I kept looking for an updated version of my laptop but it never happened. The one I have still chugs along, slow but still works.

It's not by choice. PC vendor buys the storage batch that still allow a profit margin.
Even Phones are going to smaller storage.

The good old days before AI:
256 GB SSD: $20
512 GB: $35
1GB: $50
2GB: $90
