Lenovo's inexpensive ThinkPad E-series offers solid business features and good input devices. The third generation is now equipped with powerful Ryzen 5000 processors from AMD and finally brighter displays. Is the new E14 G3 the ThinkPad with the best price-performance ratio?

Large battery, good screen, great processor, high travel keyboard, RAM, WLAN and SSD extensibility, thin bezels.
The E series is on course to become the new T series
As a previous owner of E530 and now E480 the durability of the chassis definitely went down over time. 3 years of use of the E530 - no signs of wear. 2 and a half years of use of the E480 - two cracks and a bit of plastic chipped on the side. None of them were abused or dropped.
HDMI 1.4b in 2021.. :-\
Thanks for the review. As per the specifications, max ram supported is 24gb and in the review its mentioned as 40gb. Has it been tested with this configuration. Please advise.
I wonder if new 57Wh battery has exactly the same size as 45Wh ones in gen2. If so, it might be an option for those who already own gen2 and want longer battery life...
You've got the dimensions wrong in the size comparison picture. This machine case is the same as Gen 2's, you put in gen 1's dimensions. Please correct!
there was a good price for them. not anymore. now they are 480 more expensive.
The only draw back I can see is no touch screen if I'm correct. That and size/weight. I wished they'd make a 13" model with touch screen for me :)
The stock wi-fi module died after about couple of years. Was catching some glitches from time to time then just disappeared from the device list. Replaced with Intel AX210.
