The weak part on this Lenovo is that it has the slower SATA SSD drive instead of the faster and desirable
NVMe M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 InterfaceSolid State Drive.

It's 10th Gen Ice so no it's not brand new, but the 11th Gen literally just launched in the last 2 weeks.
Yes 11th is better, but it all comes down to price.

True story, and only really useful for serious computing workloads. For regular user (even power user or gamer), the difference is negligible.

I don't think so, just different price points for different components. You trade a dedicated graphics card and i7 for $120...could be worth it for some people but not everyone

Yup, this is the one I bought. I never game on my laptop (I do it on my desktop), and having an i7 vs. an i5 is, for my uses, not worth an extra $120.
