Lenovo has silently introduced a new ThinkPad series into the market and they come cheaper. The Lenovo ThinkPad E15 and E14 G4 are budget-oriented series that will have smaller CPUs and updates this year.
The marketing direction of Lenovo
seemingly places a lower premium on the budget-friendly laptops that consist of
the Lenovo ThinkPad E15 and E14 G4. These new laptops are being introduced into
the market without a formal announcement from Lenovo, unlike some of the more
illustrious – and quite expensive models, which get all the assortments of
marketing opportunities available. The Lenovo ThinkPad E15 Gen 4 is a 15-inch
laptop while the E14 Gen 4 sports a 14-inch screen.
It
is unclear why Lenovo silently introduced the latest ThinkPads into the market
without even a formal press release, but that does not take anything away from
the popularity of the models. Their cheap prices have continued to attract much
traffic to the models, and we expect this trend to continue with the Lenovo
ThinkPad E15 and E14 Gen 4 models. It should however be noted that the new
models do not come with any new features per se and they only reflect little
updates from their predecessors.
The 16:9 design present in the previous
iteration of the ThinkPad (the ThinkPad E14 G3 and E15 G3) is maintained in the
new models. Both models also have the USB 2.0 port which seems a far cry from
what could be expected. However, the CPUs are different with the Ryzen 5000
Barcelo-U series replacing the Rembrandt in the previous model. These CPU
models come with limited functionality when compared with the Ryzen 6000. It
seems however that affordability may be the key driver for the ThinkPad E14 and
E15 G4.
There may still be an official
announcement that will provide all the needed details and pricing for the new
Lenovo ThinkPad E15 and E14 G4 series. The optics will become clearer in the
coming days or weeks.
