Been a long time MBP user and its about time to upgrade. Since apple having issues with their keyboard and price that doesn't make sense, I'm opting for Thinkpad. I was looking at E490/E480 but since they got the cooling/heating issues, I would want to opt for higher spec like T490 which comes with Mil-Grade.
Since T490 is still new, therefore price is on the high side. Can you suggest based on the spec below on where I can reduce it. I would prefer to keep the GPU in but you can only opt for the MX250 if you go for the i7, unlike T480 which can do i5 + MX 150.
I don't mind to reduce the SSD/RAM sizes since its upgradable later on right? Most probably can get education discount 12%. Not sure if you guys have any other hacks to get more discount. Budget is 4k but I can try to push 500 more if its new model and futureproof.
