If you can increase budget slightly: Thinkpad X13 or T14 AMD

If not, I would lean more towards to Thinkpad L14 / L15 AMD

Whats the difference between E and L series? i saw some of the previous post quoted E series.

For some reason, they didn't list the storage upgrade option for L15, it's available on all other L14/E14/E15.

Anyway, the price they quote isn't too worth it either, you're better off buying 3rd party storage upgrade outside yourself. Bigger and faster.

Can i know which type of SSD to buy for upgrade? and these model upgradable in term of storage?

Thanks sifu for commenting. Now Lenovo thinkpad design and weight not really friendly user. I am thinking Acer Swift 3. Is this product decent?
