Do you think it still a good option in 2021? I'm from Brazil and laptops here are really expensive because of the pandemic. Found one of these in a decent price so I'm just trying to get a good feedback.
We still use it as home office laptop. I would not pay for it more than 500 EUR, but in general, it is OK. Details which you can see in video are still valid.
I have no experience with T480s. That i5 seems to be little better than Ryzen 5 3500U. Depends on other specs (disk, screen resolution, RAM...) i guess.
You can try to use NOVO button (Use the tip of an unfolded paper clip (or similar object with a sharp tip) to gently press the Novo button with the upside down U icon - google Lenovo NOVO button or check Lenovo site for more details).

11:21 isn't the issue because of your 2.4Ghz connection instead of the much faster 5Ghz AC band ?

how much would you spend on this in 2022?
Nice review. Which one would you choose for home office, E495 ryzen 5 3500U (400€) or the T480s i5 8350U(470€)??

Is it good for video editing in 2023?

No backlit keyboard? Really?
