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 ThinkPad P14s Gen 2

Strengths

The laptop has a nice and tactile keyboard with reasonable key travel, perfect for programmers and those who need to show CAD designs.
It features a sharp 4k display option that's not found on Lenovo's T series of laptops, making it stand out from the crowd.
The ThinkPad P14s Gen 2 has a lot of ports, including USB-C, which is great for productivity and connectivity.
The laptop's battery life is decent, with up to 9-10 hours of use in business light mode, thanks to its 51Wh battery.
It comes with a 65W fast charger that plugs into the USB-C port, making it easy to top up the battery quickly.

Weaknesses

The laptop's performance is not exactly stellar, with the Nvidia T500 card not being enough for serious CAD or architectural work.
The fans can get a bit loud when pushing the laptop hard, although they're well-tuned and not roaringly loud.
Surface temperatures can get hot on the underside if you push the laptop to its limits, but it's not usually an issue in normal use.
Replacing the RAM or Wi-Fi card is difficult due to their soldered-down nature, which may be a problem for some users.
The laptop's design, while nice to touch, can feel a bit cheap compared to other ultrabooks on the market.
