QuotePricing starts at £1,500 in the UK and €1,419-€1,789 in the Eurozone. Meanwhile, the ThinkPad E14 Gen 8 costs at least $1,399 in the US.

Insane pricing, effectively almost double the cost of the E14 Gen 7 (its starting price was 780€ in Germany).

The top-spec 255H + 120 Hz 2.8K + 32 GB RAM currently goes for ~1430€: https://www.idealo.de/preisvergleich/OffersOfProduct/206352369_-thinkpad-e14-g7-21sx004sge-lenovo.html (https://www.idealo.de/preisvergleich/OffersOfProduct/206352369_-thinkpad-e14-g7-21sx004sge-lenovo.html)

258V + 120 Hz 2.8K + 32 GB RAM is 1228€: https://www.idealo.de/preisvergleich/OffersOfProduct/207096707_-thinkpad-e14-g7-21u2002pge-lenovo.html (https://www.idealo.de/preisvergleich/OffersOfProduct/207096707_-thinkpad-e14-g7-21u2002pge-lenovo.html)

The comparable specs for the E14 Gen 8 is 2505€!! Insanity...
