hi
looking for a laptop below 4k mostly for work, youtube and online movie/drama streaming, weight around 1.8kg is ok as i dont walk around town with it

any comment on below options? Lenovo having a promotion with 3Y NBD onsite for RM 1, i hope the after sales support is ok?

Lenovo E480 (i5 8250U, 8GB ram, 256 SSD+1TB HDD)
Lenovo E485 (Ryzen 5 2500U, 8GB ram, 256 SSD+1TB HDD)
Dell Vostro 5471 i5 8250U (i5 8250U, 8GB ram, 256 SSD or 125GB SSD+1TB HDD)

i suggest you get the latest a485 with the ryzen 5 pro. the model is using the same model like the t480 but the amd comes with better cpu.

also if you fancy the magnesium cover you can get it by upgrading the camera to enable that option. all in still below 4k.

finally if you do not plan to upgrade the ram take dual channel options 4gb+4gb

A485 is not available yet on Lenovo website, where else can order it?

Preferred max weight, display size and minimum battery life?

Thinkpad E series is no different than regular consumer laptop

14', max 1.8kg, 4-5hr battery life is fine

i beg to differ, the E series might be the entry level thinkpad, but they are not as plastic-ish like say Ideapad etc...at least that's how i felt when comparing physically, the keyboard is better as well
