Lenovo’s inexpensive ThinkPad E-series offers solid business features and good input devices. The third generation is now equipped with powerful Ryzen 5000 processors from AMD and finally brighter displays. Is the new E14 G3 the ThinkPad with the best price-performance ratio?

Now, this is impressive. Even the lowest spec version of this laptop is capable of outperforming devices equipped with the Core i7-1165G7. That’s what quad-core CPUs built on a 7nm architecture are capable of. And if you add a memory stick in the free slot inside, the graphics performance becomes pretty competitive as well. To be honest, the device is decent. Especially for its business purposes. It still has one of the best keyboards on the market – one that also features spill resistance. And a really smart choice would be going for the Ryzen 3 5300U since it has both power efficiency and performance.

Comment
Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.
In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.
In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

AMD Lucienne (Zen 2, Ryzen 5000):
R5 5500U: A hexa-core APU designed for use in ultra-thin, upper mid-range laptops. The Ryzen features six Zen 2 CPU cores running at 2.1 GHz to 4.0 GHz alongside the Vega 7 graphics adapter (448 unified shaders running at up to 1,800 MHz). One could be forgiven for thinking Ryzen 5 5500U is a renamed Ryzen 5 4500U - which is not the case. Ryzen 5 5500U is most similar to Ryzen 5 4600U, the most noteworthy difference between the two being the faster iGPU model of the former.
R7 5700U: A laptop-grade APU featuring eight SMT-enabled Zen 2 cores running at 1.8 GHz to 4.3 GHz and a Vega series graphics adapter with 8 CUs clocked at up to 1,900 MHz.
R3 5300U: A mobile quad-core APU with Zen 2 cores clocked at 2.6 to 3.8 GHz and a Vega graphics adapter with 6 CUs clocked at up to 1500 MHz. The Ryzen 3 CPU is very similar to the Ryzen 3 4300U.

14.00:
14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact.
In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.
