QUOTE(cimmeran @ Oct 27 2020, 11:34 AM) Hi, I would like to ask all sifu input here. I'm looking for laptop for doing Microsoft work, using Google, Netflix, YouTube, very light gaming. Budget 2.5k to 3k. Interested in amd ryzen 4000 series. At least 512gb ssd for storage of photos. I was looking at acer swift 3, Asus vivobook s14, lenovo ideapad slim 5, huawei matebook d14 (have huawei phone)...but not sure which one actually worth it with good after sales service. Any suggestions? Thank you very much for input  Saw this while browsing Lenovo's site, only downside is the TN panel.

I'm not too urgent, I'm using Toshiba Satellite L645 currently, able to wait for around 2 months. I was survey Matebook D15 (8GB Ram, 512GB SSD) which is just nice to me but RAM is non upgradable.

what is the difference between thinkpad & thinkbook? quite tempting to get the thinkbook 14s as it comes with intel tigerlake.
