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