- This is a casual review of the new Thinkpad E14 gen 2 with AMD Ryzen 7 4700U. Enjoy!
AMD Ryzen 4000 mobile processors truly are so good you'll skip the Intel versions in a heartbeat. The Lenvo ThinkPad E14 gen 2 is also a real monster for it's size and price.
Link to buy laptop : www.lenovo.com...
I'm a satisfied E14 owner. I ordered it directly from Lenovo with Ryzen 4700U, 24 GB RAM & 1,5 TB SSD. It works flawlessly with the ThinkPad USB-C Gen 2 Dockingstation. 5.941 Multi-Core Score points @ Geekbench 5.2.
Thank you for sharing! You got the top spec I see. Only missing the 4800U. Also thanks for watching!😀👍
Yess!! Finally found someone who got it with a long 1TB SSD preinstalled. Could you please help me out and tell me if yours has a heatsink plate for the second SSD?

@@whyamiwastingmytimeonthis I know that it has a thermal pad. It also has venting in the chassis specifically for that m.2. Don't know if it has a plate...
How is heat management of the laptop after using continuously for few hours and how is the battery life?
Heat management is quite good! You have a very effective CPU and also more heatpipes compared to gen 1 models. Battery is also very good thanks to that amazing CPU. You easily get through a day of school or similar.
what an excellent and clear review, you will have more subs in no time. i’ll be buying this tonight, eased my mind a lot after comparing vs t14 and p14. this thing is perfect for what i need it for, at a steal of a price
Hey I appreciate it! I made it just because there wasn't enough information about the model on the internet at the time of buying it. Appreciate your kind words, and enjoy yours!
Good review bro.If I hadn't seen this computer I can almost have paid $375 more to another laptop.I ordered this.I guess it will come 1 or 2 days. My only concern when I buying was the quality of the video card.I hope it's good quality, I don't know much about amd's graphics card.I liked all the other features.I'm Electronics and Communication Engineering Students and I believe this laptop will be a good choice for me.
Thank you for the review.
Greetings from Turkey🇹🇷😊👌🏻
Where did you order it from ?

I ordered it from a Turkish shop&site and I don't know they sell abroad or not.
Berk beğendin mi laptopu?
Evet gayet beğendim.Sadece beğenmediklerimi ya da eksik yönlerini söyleyeyim geri kalan her şey çok iyi bence.Ekran kartından çok çok yüksek beklentin yoksa yani mimar değilsen ya da fazla büyük oyunlar oynamıyorsan alınır.Touchpad ini,ses kalitesini biraz beğenmedim sanki önceki kullandığım Asus unki daha iyiydi sanki.Bir de işine göre değişir ama dahili ekran kartı ram den yediği için ram i 16gb a yükseltmek iyi olur.
Berk Yvz anladım çok teşekkür ederim
No other creator has reviewed this laptop...!! Thanks man!! Really helpful! I'm getting it around 60k in India 🍻
That's the reason I made it! Thank you for watching. My very first attempt on a YT video!
@Krutang Desai Did you receive your laptop? If u did, could you please tell if WVA = IPS? I really want to buy this.. But it only says WVA panel..
@@debadipti It said WVA for me too... For everyone. But it's IPS. I know my stuff.
Did you buy this from Lenovo E Store... There's no OS included for 60k price tag...
@@VarunKumar-ou6qn u r getting so much for 60k price tag.. and particularly i am not concerned because i will be installing linux
I am sorry for all of you touchpad lovers. You have no idea about efficiency and productivity because you ignore Track Point - much better and more productive device versus touchpad.
I use ThinkPads for many years and Trackpoint is one of the reasons I stick to these laptops.
I've long been curious as to if it could be more effective. Also since this touchpad isn't the best one out there. Thank you for sharing!
@@moggelishes8461 why Trackpoint is better for productivity? It is simple - your hands are always on the keyboard on the right position. All basic functions are there: pointing, clicks, scroll (including zoom in/out if application supports this). Scrolling works via middle button + Trackpoint motion.
@@moggelishes8461 And yes, I never use touchpads. On all my ThinkPads touchpads are off, forever. :)
@@umka7536 Wow, didn't know they had developed it so much!
@@umka7536 That's rather extreme, haha 😂
Was Searching and waiting for it... Even Google doesn't give results for ThinkPad E14 Ryzen 7 India Search... Nice Stuff Bro...
Wow. This laptop is rare!
A very good review mate, well done, keep that up!!
Thank you so very much. Truly means a lot to me 👍
Nice review! But you forgot to mention the fingerprint scanner is already integrated with the switch off button.
Oh, I totally forgot. I use it 50% of the time. It's super quick and convenient! Thank you for pointing that out!
yes thanks i was wondering too!
Nice review. Thanks! I just placed order for E14 Gen 3 (16gb, 512gb ssd), I plan to use external monitor, plan for casual use and ocassional data /coding..
I will get the e15 next month.
nice review, thank you and well done
Thank you so much. Means a lot 😀👍
How is it?
Great review 👍 yours is the only detailed review that was available. For some reason this laptop is not generating as much as attention as I believe it should, considering the specs on this machine. I just ordered mine and should have it in the coming week.
Exactly why i made the review. I've never made a video before. But I felt like this product needed one since I couldn't find all the info I wanted before purchasing it myself.
Could you send me the link to order this laptop thanks
Nice review!
And about the other thinkpad versions, you get the T series for durability (has rollcage and better hinges and materials) and better screen options, plus, T series doesn't have Soldered RAM, thus allowing you to go up to 32GB, which would be perfect for somebody who needs to run virtual machines or high-consuming RAM applications in general.
I'd say 24 gigs is plenty for almost all users. But yes, the MIL-SPEC is useful for companies and some of the IO is better for corporate use. But E series is way better value for students :)
@@moggelishes8461 I don't get how it is just 24gb ram? How did you come up with that?
@@lukas1327 8GB is Solderd. Then you can add up to 16 which makes 24 in total...
@@moggelishes8461 Can't you add 32gb? + 8 soldered = 40 gb
@@lukas1327 If i remember correctly the website said up to 24. You might be right tho :)
Excellent review and the first one I believe. I have ordered the E14 barebones version with aluminum bottom
Thank you very much! That's the reason I made it :)
@@moggelishes8461 I am a systems administrator and mostly administer the T series laptops at work which are truly enterprise class machines (MIL-SPECS tested) but also pricey for personal use. The E14 inherits almost everything from the T series in terms of hardware except the dual USB Type C ports (ThunderBolt), display nits of 300 and a 3-year onsite warranty. But at half the price, Lenevo has rolled out a true winner.
Precisely my opinion. The E is Everything you want for personal use and school. Only if work at an office at a big company then the T could be worth it. But you have to pay almost double for the same specs...
You can go for 16GB of dual-channel, or 24GB of a single channel. Pick one of those because 8GB are soldered.
24GB will be single channel? I dont understand. It has dual slot, so that doesnt mean it will be dual channel even with 8+16 gb RAM?
@@govindraj178 8-8 will be dual channel, with the other 8 will be single channel.
Wow thanks for this detailed review! I was originally planning to buy a different laptop but it got sold out so I'm looking for other options. Might consider this one.
I appreciate that! What other laptops were you looking at? I was also looking elsewhere.
@Moggelishes I'm planning on getting the Huawei Matebook D14 Ryzen 5 4500u 16gb RAM, 512gb SSD. I'm comparing it against the R5 version of the E14 and I'm honestly confused on what to get. They're pretty much the same and I think E14 has better specs overall but, I also prefer D14's lighter weight and its all-aluminum chassis because I'm not so fond of the plastic bottom and red accents. I know it sounds stupid to pick aesthetics over a bit of performance, but what do you think? And do you have any other suggestions at this price point? 😅
I was looking so much at the D14. Honestly, I WANTED that one instead. But that was only available with ryzen 3000 series at the time... So I just couldn't then. If you can get it now with a 4000 series processor, then go for the one you LIKE the most. Keyboard is better on E14 tho, keep that in mind :)
@@moggelishes8461 Can I ask you one more thing? Which one has better display, the D14 or E14? I hear they both have up to 250 nits display but I can't seem to find a proper comparison between the two and I haven't seen either one up close so I couldn't really tell.
@@paranoidcomet I went and saw the D14 in store before I got the D14 and it looked slightly better. No big difference tho. One thing could be, if you can get the D14 with a glossy screen, then that's a difference.
Thank you for awesome review !
one point about build quality , when carrie in my bag without sleeve bag, one of usb plate is bend even the material look solid
Mine has held up very well!
Great review bro!! My only question is, can I use this laptop for my audio and video editing ?? I'm a voiceover artist and a content creator so editing on cubase or premier pro is crucial for me .....
You CAN use this laptop for such tasks. Although the screen doesn't get very bright and is not that color accurate which could play a bit part in video editing.
But the CPU is more than capable of both audio and video editing. I'd consider some other laptops with better screens for your specific needs. But you can go with this if you feel you find nothing else that is better.
Awesome review man!! Thanks for making the time and effort to create this (Your the only one who did 😄)
Going to get mine the ryzen 5 4500u version in Australia on Wednesday. Ordered it tonight but wished it came now after seeing your review 😂😂
Just a question for you, all my other laptops had an incredible amount of fan noise whilst doing simple tasks like Web browsing and RUclips videos (Acer and HP 🤦🏻♂️). How's the fan noise on the e14 gen 2?
Thank you so much for writing! There is a very slight hum under full load, but I have never heard the fans during regular use. I hope you will enjoy yours!
So you commented before 11 months, i am assuming that you have used the machine thoroughly by now. I just want to know, how's the battery life?
If you are asking me, it is great. It gets me through any day of school (up to 7.5 hrs) under medium load without issues. You can watch media for that long too.
Great review. Much appreciated!
Thank you! Much appreciate you too!
I'm having the same model with R5 4500U.
Got 2 months ago.❤️
yep we have same thing.
when I see that CPU and price (in Türkiye it was even more cheaper btw :D)
I was like what hell is this price real ?
I'm in love with this little things man ! best 800 euros of my life
Couldn't agree more!
Dude, I got mine for 600 euros ! R7 4700U, 16GB, 256gb SSD, IPS Panel and AX module. I am in love with this laptop. Only issue I have with it is the Screen brightness which is only 250nits max so It's kinda hard to see when there's light.
Wow. What a steal!!! And with 16 gigs as well. Agree there with the screen but otherwise, good for you!
Do you guys think this is good for university work, streaming and typing on google docs?
@@gretas6794 For sure! I use it for school and it's brilliant. The keyboard especially is excellent. Streaming should be a breeze considering you have 6 or 8 cores in this machine.
Great review man.
I have a doubt. Since it doesn't have thunderbolt support, can i use a usb dock with the laptop for power delivery, and 2 external displays. I am planning on using a single cable for everything.
I appreciate your answer.
I strongly doubt that it will work .. the USBC port is just for charging on this model. I don't know about the Intel models but they might have thunderbolt... But thanks for the kind words and your questions :)
Thanks for making useful review.
No problemo 😊
best review video in my life
There's no way that's true. But thank you so very much anyway 🤪
Hi i am planning to buy this machine but with updated specs 5800u + 16 gb ram and also gen 3 (with Mil spec) . I am going to use it for data science projects /casual gaming. Is it enough for that?
For sure. It is great for such tasks!
Awesome video thank you alot
Appreciate it 🙏
Hey, awesome video, what would you choose for programming as a student, this or a 4800h Legion 5?
My brother bought this laptop for his studies where he does about 80% programming on Linux and it has been really great. The legion has more graphics power but for most programmers a graphics card is not that useful. I'd really recommend this to be honest ☺️
@@moggelishes8461 Yes, I really don't care about gaming, the only aspects that bother me is that the Legion 5 has a larger screen + better one of the best cooling systems and the 4800h is a killer processor. That was a quick reply!
@@moggelishes8461 I will notice this one, thanks so much
Honestly, all gaming laptops are good value. But the build quality and look usually falls into the meh category and that's where you get the industrial design of the ThinkPad which some really prefer :)
@@moggelishes8461 Awesome, thank you!
Really nice review, i will buy one for my computer science study
Thank you very much! It should be quite perfect for your studies.
Bought mine a week ago. No regrets.
Nice choice! It might be hard to believe, but it's actually that good. Thank you for watching!
Love mine! A Mac equivalent is around 3 times the price here in Aus
Does it have a backlit keyboard?
Vivek g yup
good review all added bro take care
Great review! I want to ask you for your opinion, what is better for student and little pfogfamming, this one, or yoga slim 7? Specs sre the same. Thanks in advance :)
I would go with the Thinkpad for build quality and probably better ports and cooling. The slim 7 has a touchscreen if i remember correctly which ca be nice for taking notes. I would go E14 gen 2 personally but either one will work wonders for you!
Ohh, I see a downgrade in the keyboard department from E480 that I own: in E480, you just pop out left and right touchpad buttons, unscrew two bolts that are hidden under these and pop out the keyboard, place a new one in and that's it - and I had to replace it like that when it got damaged very easily when I wanted to clean it with a damp (maybe slightly too damp) cloth; fortunately I got a new one mailed in from Lenovo authorized service for free, no questions asked. Here I see the keyboard protrudes from below of the top cover, so replacing it would probably be a total pain.
Good catch!
Hello, can you please tell what is sustained clock speed under 100% workload (for more than 5 min atleast)
It holds steady at 4Ghz on all cores/threads under heavy load for 5+ minutes. The CPU is truly amazing 🙌
@@moggelishes8461 thanks, i was thinking to go for gaming laptop (4600h) , but now i will stick to this only. I never play games though.
@@mdzaid5925 If you don't game, this will do everything 🙌
Which is better in terms of quality, this one (Thinkpad E14) or Lenovo Flex 5? Both with Ryzen 7, 16gb Ram and 512SSD
This has better overall qualify
The hinges and the construction is made for school/corporate whereas the flex 5 is built to be a 2 in one and therefore isn't as solid. But it is still well put together ☺️
Finally some good one 😊
Thanks for the review
great thanks, am gonna get this ! Any newer recommendations or is this one still good ?
This is still the very newst generation and i can strongly recommend it!
My work gave me this thing
Lucky you ☺️
Hi, I would like to know if it still works well. I'm thinking of getting this model. Here in Perú it costs $ 980. I want it for university and play some games. I will appreciate your answer.
For you it's perfect. Everything is still running smooth and build quality is still great!
Does it charge through Usb C? How much does the battery last with low tasks such as web browsing?
Thanks for the vid!
Watch the video and you will find out😏 It does charge via usb-c and it will last you probably 10+ hours
Hello, Good Review..
I've a question regarding that...
Can Powerbank charge this laptop by type C to type C?
If yes, which one will support it?
22.5W or 30W or 45W
65W
Good review bruh!
Thank you!
Great review!
Also I would like to ask what parts are made from aluminum and what are made from plastic?
Thank you! The entire top of the laptop is aluminum. While the bottom part is plastic :)
@@moggelishes8461 thank you :) the part around keyboard is also plastic? Is the keyboard sturdy enough so it doesn't bend? Sorry for so many questions :D
I tried right now. This plastic is really strong. No flex in the chassis. Keyboard flexes a LITTLE if you push super hard (which you shouldn't do) so id give this the full pass
@@moggelishes8461 thank you once again :) I am thinking of buying this laptop and no shop has it displayed so I appreciate your help
If you have any more questions I'm happy to answer. I made this video to help others like me who had a hard time finding info.
Hi, I would like to know how the battery life has been for you, I normally do a mix of web browsing, bit of excel, word, and consuming content like RUclips . 🤔, but don't play any games nor use heavy programs. By the way Great review 👍🙂
Thank you for watching and commenting! With your kind of usage I'd say you can get around 10 hours out of it 👍
@@moggelishes8461 oh, that's pretty amazing 🙂. Sadly this version isn't still available in my country (Chile 🇨🇱), only the base model, but it has ryzen 3, TN panel, no Backlit keyboard and only 4 gb of ram. So I will keep waiting. Thanks for answering 👍🙂
Yes, I'd say waiting is the right call. Hope you get it soon 😀
Great review!!
I have a question about the keyboard. Is it a backlit keyboard or is it like the L480 that isn't backlit?
I'm a ThinkPad "noob" so forgive me if this question is unnecessary
Thank you for the compliment! And that is not a bad question. The answer is that you CAN get a backlit keyboard. But it doesn't come on all models. So be sure to look for "backlit keyboard"
Thanks for the info, I'll look at this when I buy.
Cheers!
Thank you for watching!
Your the first person to say thinkpad doesn’t have good trackpad
What I meant was this isn't as good as other thinkpad track pads :)
no sd card :(
adaptors tho
Tha ks for the review, great specs for the price
Yes. It's surprisingly good!
I ordered this version. Waiting for delivery.
You won't be disappointed! I can tell you that much👍👍👍
Ordered www.lenovo.com/in/en/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpad-e-series/ThinkPad-E14-Gen2-AMD/p/22TPE14E4A2 6 to 8 weeks waiting...
Wow that's a long time. Mine was delivered in 1-2 workdays. Oh well, you have something to look forward too!
@@moggelishes8461 in lenovo india, only custom build version available so default delivery time 6 to 8 weeks... Really bad option...
@@JaiBharat777 I see. But I hope it is perfect for you when it arrives! 😀
How do you feel about the exact same specs (512GB SDD, 16GB RAM, AMD 4700U with 300 NIT Touchscreen) but on the Lenovo Thinkbook 14 AMD, vs on the Thinkpad? Price of $662 + sales tax with extra 5% discount on top of current promo.
The thinkbook is a bit more personal style where as the ThinkPad is more corporate style. The ThinkPad is sturdier and has a bit more industrial build made for school/workplaces. Both are brilliant machines. And if you need a touchscreen, the choice becomes obvious :)
Will it's processor be good after another 5 years?
And
Can it last 5 years first????
Pls do reply
Like all computers, it will get slower with time. But if you don't max out the storage and maybe install more than 8gb of ram this machine will last you a very long time!
@@moggelishes8461 okay bro thq
Bought this laptop last month. Within 2 weeks the screen started to bend / warp. Probably because the lid couldn't handle the screen heat. Now back to Lenovo for repair.
I haven't had any issues and ice had it for almost half a year. I've done some hard gaming on it and it has gotten quite hot. No problems :)
@@moggelishes8461 Do you use an external screen for gaming and have the lid closed? That way the heat of the CPU and GPU (exiting at the back right of the E14) isn't hitting the bottom of the lid.
I was using only the laptop. Only external device was a mouse.
Hello @moggelishes, but it doesn't have backlit keyboard... how can we deal with that
Mine does. It doesn't come on all E14 gen 2 models, you have to check your specific market for that.
im so jealous, i have the gen 1 thinkpad e15 i wish i had waited. :(
1-includes an additional heat pipe
2-support dual ram channel
3-extra m.2 slot
4-and has a way better cpu (ryzen)
Couldn't agree more. I feel sorry for you. These new ryzen 4000 chips are truly something else.
How is it versus the gen 1 amd radeon rx 640 gpu?
Im thinking about 2 models:
Gen 1 i7 16gb, amd radeon rx 640 Gpu.
Gen 2 ryzen 7 16gb, integrated gpu.
@@nirlosner6955 I've heard cooling on the Gen1 (Intel) is worse (single heat pipe vs dual on the Gen2) and the graphics card throttles so much that it almost becomes pointless, not to mention worse battery life because, well, there's a discrete graphics card.
I bought a Gen2 with Ryzen 7/8GB/256GB for around $740 and added another 8GB of RAM (DDR4-3200) by myself for $40.
@@whyamiwastingmytimeonthis but isnt the discrete gpu on the gen 1 have better performance?
Its not the best but its still no integrated.

besides, even Ryzen 5 4500U outperforms i7-10710U in benchmarks, and it probably costs less
Is the battery life good? and is it good for playing games like minecraft,roblox etc.
Battery life is quite good. Gets me through a 7h day at school with a full charge. Minecraft and roblox will run very well too!
I am skeptical about buying this laptop because of its TN display panel,how is the display overall?should I buy it?
The display itself isn't bad but its peak brightness is very low. Working in direct sunlight isn't good.
@@moggelishes8461 oh okay👍
Hi, I would like to know if you have any experience with the TN FHD panel on the entry level ThinkPad g2.? Is it so much worse than the IPS?
I don't have any experience but I'd say you should avoid ALL TN panels everywhere really...
@@moggelishes8461 oh, 😕. In my country there is only the TN panel option 🙁
It obviously depends on what you expect of the screen. What will you use it for?
@@moggelishes8461 basically, watching RUclips, web browsing, word, excel and other stuff
Okay. Then you will be fine with a TN panel. It won't be bright. The colors won't be the best. But for your use case it's enough. Just enough 👍
Please tell me, is the soldered RAM working in dual channel without the slot being used, like the latest ideapad laptops do? Wondering whether a 8gb version of e15 g2 will work like that, or should I order another 8gb module as well
I would probably order another 8gig module since 8 is a bit on the low side. But I can check when I get home later today.
Nevermind, I think I'd better get the 16gig version ;)
Yes. That's the way to go👍
I am confused between 4500U 8/256 model @ 400€.
and a Lenovo IdeaPadGaming 4600H with GTX1650Ti @730€
Usage: Matlab/Python - For ML -lots of Image processing .
I can maybe add an eGPU from 2nd Nvme (PciE slot) of ThinkPad
You can add an eGPU from the free 2280 M.2 slot. I would explore that possibility but the IdeaPad doesn't seem bad either!
I have heard the build quality of E series has improved a lot but still how does it fair against a T14 in terms of ruggedness and material quality?
I have no past experience with Thinkpad E Series but all I can say is that there is nothing to complain about in terms of ruggedness. The aluminum top gives it a premium feel and paired with a good hinge this screen doesn't wobble or shake at all. The bottom is a high quality plastic that feels good, it's not like an aluminum laptop, but damn close. The only small things I've found are that the USB-C port doesn't feel 100% satisfying and the cable can wiggle a tiny bit. TLDR; It's definitely solid enough and I see no reason to get the T series over this.
@@moggelishes8461 I can agree to your statement. For me, there was no need to pay the extra 500 € for a T14 with a 400 nits display as I use my E14 mainly with an external monitor.
I feel like I should clarify. The bottom that rests on your lap is also aluminum. The entire Outside is Aluminum. But the part around the keyboard is a very high quality plastic. This gives good rigidity and feel.
hi guys. does anyone have the e15 i7 und RX640.. how is it working ? strong enough in general and for GIS and 3D Modelling ? and how is the cooling? as I heard there are problems ? thank you
I have the E14 with these specs and it’s great. Fast and reliable. Running SsD drive w/ 16g Ram
Nice!
#roberto armstrong... how do you come along with this product, I also think about buying this for work.. GIS and a bit 3D modelling. The only thing I worry about is the display and the heat/fan... does it really get hot? and how good is the rx640? thank you sir
Review should be like this 👍
Thank you. My first try!
Im getting it
Good for you ☺️
What about video editing on this machine?
The screen isn't the most color accurate display out there... But the CPU can definitely handle it!
Can you please tell me if e14 and e15 both are aluminum or only e14 is aluminum
They come both as plastic and aluminium. Check your specific market to see which material yours is.
Nice review...
Thank you...
Good Video man!
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!👍
E14 or hp envy
(Build (chassis, hinges, associated internal parts,
and durability?
ThinkPad for build and keyboard. Envy for screen. You can get both with same specs.
i got the e15 gen2 its amazing
It's more or less the same! Full size keyboard is one difference I suppose. Great purchase nonetheless!

HI i followed the link you sent me and I can only see a ryzen 5 version , is there another link to order the laptop you reviewed, or is it out of stock. Also there is the E15 version. If you could send me a link please thanks.
Then you might not be able to order the model with the ryzen 7 in your country. They also change which models are available often, I'd be on the lookout If I were you.
@@moggelishes8461 thanks
How is Thinkpad L14 gen 2 compared to this one?
They are quite similar. The E14 is a bit cheaper but doesn't have the same ports, doesn't come with touchscreen and can't have as much computing power. But an E14 and L14 with similar specs are incredibly closely matched. If I'm not mistaken the L14 is slightly bigger too.
Make sure you have both hand free with holding camera you will need 3 hands 😆 🤣
hey, can you install CPU-Z , go to the SPD tab and tell me what brand name and part number is the memory that comes with the laptop ? that program can tell the specific ram they installed from factory
What about the fan? My old laptop can handle all my daily task easy. I work as a writer so I need a good keyboard. Sometimes when the kids are asleep I play some good old world of warcraft classic and the fans start acting like I was playing the newest top gen game on the highest settings. It’s annoying. I think you can compare league to wow classic because both dont require much. Did the fans pump up?
Short answer: This laptop is perfect for you.
Longer answer: The keyboard is excellent and should keep up even with a professional writer. I play games regularly on this machine and I have only heard it spin up the fan after hours of more demanding games. League doesn't make it sweat.
@@moggelishes8461 i bought it. The keyboard is great! Display okay as well. No 4K stuff but I don‘t need that anyway. The performance is amazing as well. Love that amd chip. Good video. It made me try out the product. You should get some lenovo sponsoring ;)
Hahah, Maybe some day they will hit me up. But for now I'll just try to help you guys out!
Do we have extra Ram and storage slot in 4500u model as well of same E14 gen2 series ?
Yep! If the model already has more than 8gb RAM the slot will be used. But if it has the same specs with the CPU being the only difference it will be the same as this!
hey did you get os preinstalled or did you install it yourself
I got mine preinstalled. Like I said in the video. That was the very first time I launched the laptop. I had windows 10 Pro preinstalled with basically no bloatware.
How much is it as in the lenovo uk it hasnt got the gen 2 model yet so I dunno what's the price
It's in the video... But I bought it for 8000 SEK (with student discount and tax included) which would be ~700£
Hi, your thoughts on the e15 gen 2 with the ryzen 7?
Also great review, keep it up!
As I said before. It's very similar in all aspects. Which means it's a brilliant laptop for the price. Especially with the powerful ryzen 7! Two key diffrences are:
- The display is 15.6" instead of 14"
- The keyboard is a full size one (it has a numpad)
The battery is the same 45Wh though.
Will this laptop be suitable for a bioinformatics student?
My understanding of Bioinformatics is that you do both computer science and biology. Meaning you handle a lot of data.
This laptop would be great for it. Thinkpads are widely known as the best windows laptop for programmers. And if you get the 4700U CPU you can do a lot of heavier tasks with ease. I would recommend it!
Moggelishes perfect, thanks!
i think i like
🤔🤔🤔I think so too🤔🤔🤔
The one I got here in India has TN display instead of IPS. No backlit keyboard. 16 GB RAM though.
That is a fair trade. All models have their ups and downs :)
I just don´t understand and don´t like. So I will have USB-C and that is the only port to power delivering. So can I connect 2 displays via HDMI and USB-C. How can I charge that during that? Can I charge it and use it as displayport at the same time? Via some Hub or somethink like that? I am so confused from Usb-C ... gen 1, gen 2, gen 2x2, thunderbold, it does support power delivery, it does not support... etc. Please help me. I like this notebook but need to connect it with 2 displays.
You wont be able to run a monitor off the USB-C sadly...
great review!
ı would like to know that this laptop suitable for engineering?
I don't play games just for education
Yes it very much is. Keyboard, battery and build quality as well as performance is great.
Hi, brother
Will it work with Linux? I mean with same efficiency?
It has really good Linux support as long as you upgrade to a version above 5.4 on the core. But things like the fingerprint reader doesn't have drivers for linux (goodfix)
Have you faced any touchpad issues when the laptop is in hands ?
What do you mean by "when it's in hands".
@@moggelishes8461 Like when you are holding with your one hand and hovering the touchpad from another in the air not on table
Haven't faced such issues, yet :)
thinkpads look cool but 300 bucks extra for a nice aluminium body is a bit too much
The plastic is very nice quality too tho👍
Good days my friend. The Ryzen 7 4700u has a 15w and a 25w model. Which model is used in this laptop?
?
Is it ok for 1080p video editing? And editing photos in Lightroom
I'd say you should get a laptop with a dedicated GPU and a better, more color accurate screen. But it will do it. Just won't be the best out there.
Ordered on 8 sept,
Now no status changed till now
Ouch... They are very popular indeed.
Can we get more display details like ntsc percent and screen to body ratio?
It covers only 45% of sRGB... So don't buy this for photo or and video editing. The screen to body ratio is 92% But only the bottom bezel is thicker. Otherwise they are all around very thin! A good design.
Any screen bleeding problems??
Not that I've noticed! Only issue with display is that in some conditions it doesn't get bright enough...
How is it holding up?
Really Good! Im using it on a daily basis, playing games and using it for school. Still like it was new tbh ☺️
Bro is the brightness enough to use in classroom at college ?
Yes for sure. As I said, the only time it might get too dim is in direct sunlight, but even then its ok, but not good.
@moggelishes I know this laptops come with onboard soldered ram how ever I would like to know its latency(CL). you can run cpuz to find the RAM latency.
CAS# Latency is 22.0 docks.
Which is better for work... This E14 or the Thinkbook 15 G2 ARE in ryzen 7 4800u?
This :)
I have a question.
Does It have Vega 7 or Vega 10 Graphics
Vega 7. So it runs on a 7nm chip which makes it very efficient.
Great review,

Still waiting for IPS panel, here it is available in WVA (
I see. That is a good idea. The VA isn't very good. It's bad in almost all laptops.
There are no options called "IPS". If you look at their PSREF, Lenovo lists all the non-TN display options as "WVA" instead of "IPS" for these new Thinkpads like E14, L14, T14, X13 etc. So I think their WVA = IPS.
@@JTD33 I actually saw that when I looked at the PSREF. But their official website said IPS. A bit confusing... But thanks for the insight!
@@JTD33 😮
@@moggelishes8461 exaactly I thought the same.. so you have also WVA panel right ?🤔
Hi! should i use this lenovo or acer swift 3? ill be using for my college assignments and presentations and media consumption work mostly
and whats the main differences with e15 and l13?
The acer swift doesnt offer the same build quality as the ThinkPad and since you are using it at school like me, the ThinkPad will be a better option. The acer often offers better price/performance tho. My E14 is brilliant for everything you described above. And the keyboard is WAY better on the ThinkPad, and that is a big deal while writing essays and such.
E15 has a bigger screen and has a keypad. It has a SMALLER battery tho. Those are the main differences. The L series is more for business and E series is more focused on personal/school use.
@@moggelishes8461 wow thanks so much for the easy explanation! u deserve more recognition :)
Haha thank you! I try my best to explain in very plain English so that someone with little knowledge would understand. (I'm not saying you have little knowledge hihi). I'm just not sure what content I would keep putting up... I made this video only because I couldn't find the information I wanted about it before purchasing :)
