      U series processor are power efficient processors.
      Use less power than others.
      They also tend to be much less powerful :)

        Would a U Series Ryzen processor for $20 more be a better option, or is there no difference? - AMD Ryzen™ 7 5825U Processor (2.00 GHz up to 4.50 GHz)

          @ifonlyiwasyounger: Ryzen has better multicore performance and slightly better power efficiency. Intel has better single core performance and Thunderbolt.

          We have a whole lot of Ryzen ones in our work fleet and a lot of them are affected by a weird BIOS update that causes them to shut off when plugged into power. Have to run them for an hour or 2 on the battery then plug them in again to get them going. The couple of Intel ones we use haven't shown this behaviour…

  These are really good except for the 45%NTSC screen……
  Would not recommend such screen

  • 

    ifonlyiwasyounger on 26/05/2023 - 14:23

    May I ask why you could not recommend a 45%NTSC screen?

      Poor image quality because of the stunted colour range. Even something as undemanding as general web browsing and email you'll notice it, gradients look washed out and there's a lack of vibrancy.

      It's more frustrating because even junk-tier Dell and HP laptops tend to ship with 72% screens for the same price. Lenovo can't seem to get their display game up to scratch.

  If your budget can stretch, I'd recommend the T14 Gen 3 AMD for $1219. Reasons being…

  https://www.lenovo.com/au/en/p/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpadt/thinkpad-t14-gen-3-(14-inch-amd)/21cf003kau

  16:10 display
  Lighter
  Better build quality
  Newer gen AMD CPU
  Better battery life
  4k 60Hz through HDMI compared to 4k 30hz on E14
  3 year warranty
  No skimping on ports (E series still uses usb 2.0 port on the right side) - 2 x USB C 3.2, 2 x USB A 3.2, HDMI 2.0.

  Only advantage the E series has is that the RAM can be upgraded.

    Solid laptops. These are my current workforce favorite. Light, well built, good screen, great performance, thermals and battery life. I don't get any complaints about these, unlike the Dell and Surface units around the place.
