I read from another Ktard in an old thread that he recommends Dell to family and friends for the customer service.
But yea I am like you, moved from Dell to Lenovo. Yes cust service good for non-IT people and cheaper, but quality is crap. I had the Dell Inspiron gaming series before its HDMI port no longer work. The bottom one-screw cover also broke.. super brittle.
My Dell Latitude broke its hinges first. Upon dissasembly, I notice the old dvd drive was loose and soft, as if it was made of aluminium and cardboard. The same with the rest of the body, very cheap plastic. I mean sure that made the entire laptop feels very light, but that means all the locking bits and where plastic meets metal break easily. But I do love how easy every components are easy to replace and gain access to. Having Dell's accidental damage cover really puts you mind at peace.

The lenovo website really confusing...there are many product with the same model name
https://www.lenovo.com/my/en/laptops/thinkp...MD/p/20Y70030MYThis one also E14 Gen 3, but not customizable and has 5700U. Can't add battery, but otherwise the rest of the specs are ok. RAM a bit werd...8GB soldered + 8GB Sodimm??? Naniiii!!!!
I surf until wanna pengsan liao.
But this one delivery within 3-6 days. I think 6-8 weeks too much liao for the customization. Maybe i take this.
Side note the Thinkpad X13/X14 Gen 2 also almost similar specs. Other than CPU variation and screen size. Am thinking about the X13 as well.
https://www.lenovo.com/my/en/laptops/thinkp...G2/p/20XH0036MYIt has better battery and 3 yrs onsite.

I'd probably categorize Lenovo sites as 2 main categories.
The normal, customizable version.
The fast delivery, offer bin.
If you're looking for cheap deals, then just check out the READY TO DELIVERY. I normally camp there for specific models which will come every fortnight. Mind you the delivery may still take around 8-14 days because its usually shipped from Hong Kong or China.
But if want souped up builds, then look for the normal customize options. For those, the deals comes in the form of add-on e.g. upgrade to 16gb RAM for $70. I suppose, this is why you feel everything kinda overwhelming since you're still fairly new to the site.
Worst part is how its not friendly on mobile. Truly sucky experience when you're waiting so long for the pages to refresh.
Lastly, once you've committed to an item you like, put it in the cart and try to chat with lenovo agent. They will check your cart and see if there are some things they could offer you, usually in the form of discount vouchers or free gifts. ALWAYS ASK FOR FREE GIFTS. But if you compare it with any existing codes like DOORBUSTER and find that its cheaper, then just ignore it.
Shopback is where I would definitely make sure is tracked because who wouldn't love a rebate am I right?
