Title: Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 2 & E15 Gen 2: First affordable Tiger Lake ThinkPads with Thunderbolt
Post by: Redaktion on September 29, 2020, 12:01:18
Thunderbolt and good screens were always kept exclusive to the T series among the Lenovo ThinkPad line. This seems to change with the new second gen ThinkPad E14 and E15 with Intel Tiger Lake CPUs, as both are the first E ThinkPads to feature Tiger Lake and at least get optional better screens.

Were any news released about Tiger Lake updates to L and T series Thinkpads?

No and I wouldn't expect any till early 2021. L/T/X ThinkPads are usually updates on a yearly base. The last models were announced in February 2020.

Thanks. Was holding out hope for a quick platform refresh; Tiger Lake with Thunderbolt 4 would be a good competition to Ryzen 4000.

Those built-in earbuds will definitely replace my Plantronics C5220 and AirPods Pro ;)

But seriously, when don't they skip this unnecessary gimick for a larger battery, better cooling, an additional USB C and USB A port on the right or best of all: a nicely centred ThinkPad keyboard without numberpad instead of this mushy plastic?

Apparently some idiots in Lenovo prioritize this new processors for the cheap E and L, instead of T and X series
