Hi,
What’s the price version with AMD Radeon 540X?
The design is perfect, but maybe you could add a comparison with other models from that price shelf 😉
Thanks for the review
Jack,
Lenovo just lowered the price of Thinkbook laptops. I’m sure Lenovo is clearing the decks for updates to the latest 10th-generation processors. The 14s with an Intel I7-8565U processor, 8GB RAM, and a 256GB SSD are on sale on the Lenovo website for $599. That’s a heck deal. I also noticed the 14s with Intel I5 processor (selling at $506) is out of stock.
