#1 Post by Droider » Mon Nov 16, 2020 3:39 pm

Hi all,

I decided to upgrade my T440p specs in my sig to a 15.6" E15 Ryzen 4700u, i would appriciate any real world experiences with this machine. I will be ordering one with ryzen 7-4700u, 16gb ram, 512gb ssd, 1080p ips panel..

ps : i dont have the will to spend double amount of money to any T series machines.

Thanks.

IMO, going to an E series from a T series is a huge downgrade. If you are trying to stay in a budget, go for an L series instead. I have had my hands on just about every T, L and E series model since about 2015 and it the build quality on the E, as a consumer grade product, is very noticeably poorer than the L or T series. L series, while entry level business and a step below the T series, is still leaps and bounds ahead of E series considering their price point.

I have bought the E15 gen2 with ryzen7 4700u, 16gb, 512gb, 1080p ips panel. While i agree that T series would be superior in terms of build quality, E15 isnt a pile of crap. I really liked the build quality of the machine. Wish the panel was 300nits instead of 250nits but you get what you pay for at the end. I cant really complain and the chassis feels solid.
