Pros and Cons

Lenovo ThinkPad E15 Gen 4

Strengths

This is the newest version and I've had the older ones on the channel as well it just keeps getting better with every iteration
It works really well with the universal USBC dock from Lenovo
I'm going to sell a ton of these I'm sure
The laptop PC has an AMD Ryzen 5 5625U processor, 8GB of DDR4 3200 RAM, and 256GB M2 PCI Express 4.0 storage
It has a 15.6 inch 1080p IPS display, gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6 11ax with Bluetooth 5.2, and USB 3.2 gen 1 and USBC ports
The webcam has a privacy shutter and dual microphone array
The keyboard is full-size with 10 key number pad and standard Lenovo function keys
You can upgrade the RAM to up to 40GB if you want

Weaknesses

This one is silver which is a first but still has the black keyboard which I find a bit odd
The memory score is a little disappointing, especially since it's not running in dual Channel mode
The RAM is soldered in and only comes with 8GB, so you can't upgrade to different types or capacities like some other laptops
There's a large Dead Zone inside the laptop where you would think they could add battery or another fan for better performance
The price of this laptop may be higher than expected due to its features and build quality
Some users might find the aluminum top and polycarbonate ABS bottom to be less durable than other laptops in its class
The pop clips on the inside are very difficult to get out without breakage, making maintenance and upgrades a bit tricky
There's only one fan with heat sink and heat pipes that go to the CPU location, which might lead to some performance issues under heavy loads

Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro

Strengths

Fantastic build quality with a complete metallic exterior
Great trackpad and keyboard
Display is its biggest highlight, providing healthy resolution and amazing color accuracy
Performance is on the upper side, capable of handling heavy tasks like video editing and gaming
Nimble design makes it perfect for business or productivity use cases with creative uses

Weaknesses

Priced at around $890 USD, making it on the upper side of a mid-range machine
Battery life could have been slightly better
Brightness could have been improved
No Lyse Thunderbolt 4 due to Ryzen configuration
Fan noise can be loud during short periods of intense activity
