lol, single channel is a real meme. everybody repeating like parrots without a bit of understanding.

A 8-core chip + powerful IGP sharing a single memory channel, why talk about facts when you can just do personal attacks?

I would say, the much nicer upcoming 15 inch ThinkPad with Ryzen is the ThinkPad L15, since that one at least has two RAM slots.

Their higher tier AMD machines are not stellar either. All gimped compared to Intel counterparts.

This model is DOA. A single ram slot in a 15" chassis is laughable. Combine this with a <45Wh battery (wtf?), <60% sRGB / <250 nit screen, and weak cooling system and you really have a pile of nothing. Oh, and they got rid of the microSD slot because reasons. Oh, and bottom-loaded keyboard because reasons. But hey, at least they kept the 2.5" hard drive bay!

QuoteYou know ThinkPad E series is the budget series in Thinkpad lineup right?

There's almost nothing that distinguishes this from the $250 Walmart Motile AMD laptop.

Thinkpad is a thinkpad. Single channel memory is a joke. Leave that stuff to ideapads, the real budged machines.

Do you even remember what was the last 14"/15" Thinkpad that was restricted to a single memory channel? There is a reason for that, and budget has nothing to do with it. The "not a Thinkpad" meme is more and more a prophecy of what is to come.

single channel? :o this is no-buy thinkpad...

The configuration is as expected for a Thinkpad budget series.

Single channel!? That is seriously effed up Lenovo, especially for a professional machine.

Single channel ram?
The IGP will cry  :-\

no source link=direct email from oem to notebookcheck. i know now :)

guys can we please stop complaining about single channel. they chose the path to less productivity-more battery/more silent/smaller size. this is a deliberate choice, design. in this case single channel does nothing bad. i don't mind.
screen(s) was the problem, other than that-very promising best buy.

It's like they want to make AMD look bad.

Not to mention small battery and no decent screen (I doubt it's going to be better than the Intel version). It's a bad joke.
