          That was one of those new fan-dangled lazy replies kids use these days where context is lost for brevity, here they agree with the poster they replied to, and are not really replying to the actual poster. Basically they are trying to say 'This is what I wanted to say' or 'I too would like an answer to this' but with one word.

          Some sites or forums give these users a way to 'plus the post' or 'like it' as a way to vote it up to show they and others agree with the statement or sentiment - but for some this is too simple or doesn't have the satisfaction of having your name clearly displayed along with the sentiment.

    Is it possible to connect this laptop to 2 x monitors? I see the USB-C might be capable but then is this also the charging port?

    • kapone on 07/08/2019 - 17:35
      +3

      I was driving two monitors using a Lenovo dock with my T-series laptop over USB 3.0.

      Then MS made some architectural changes to the driver subsystem in Win 10 and DisplayLink performance took a nose dive. Good enough for productivity tasks, but would struggle with video sometimes. They did improve the driver, which brought CPU usage for DisplayLink from ~30% to ~7=15% on my i5 system.

    • coxymla on 07/08/2019 - 18:12

      Best to look for something with Thunderbolt3.

      On this model, you could use USB-C DisplayPort (via a dongle so you can still charge) and HDMI at the same time but that will be a lot of plugging and unplugging. But if it's going to be a desk queen you might not mind too much.

      • lambsie on 07/08/2019 - 18:25

        Will this be able to connect to my Type C dock (currently using thinkpad yoga 370)? I run 2 monitors, mouse and audio out of it at the moment with one type C cable.

        This is the model.

          Should work fine. I don't recommend those DisplayLink docks but obviously you already have one and are happy with it?

          • batrarobin on 07/08/2019 - 19:18

            @coxymla: Hey coxymla, you seem to know these things,. Could you suggest me some cheaper dock option for my Lenovo Yoga 520. This laptop has 2 x USB 3.0, 1 x USB Type-C, 1 x HDMI.

            I would like to drive 2 x monitors while still be able to charge the laptop. The laptop charges through a normal pin charger but I am happy to buy a USB C PD charger if that can make my setup seamless.

              +1

              @batrarobin: Dell WD15 dock is about $200 on Amazon. There might be cheaper options. (Dell D3100 is $160 but it's USB-A so won't charge with one cable.)

            • mps41 on 07/08/2019 - 20:08
              +1

              @batrarobin: Probably not cheaper but a Dell WD19 should do the job. I can’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work as long as Lenovo support DisplayPort on the type-c port but given that they are different vendors it would be best to do some checking yourself. This has the advantage that the monitors are connected directly to the GPU rather than the software DispkayLink drivers and thus no CPU overhead but resolutions of the monitors are probably more limited than the DisplayLink docks.

        They're the inferior quality Thinkpads though aren't they? I was looking at buying a few weeks back and the general consensus on /r/Thinkpads etc is avoid the E series

        • rookie317 on 07/08/2019 - 16:46
          +5

          The ThinkPad hierarchy in terms of quality and features is like P/X -> T/A -> everything else.
          You won't get the best durability and/or light-weightness or features like backlit keyboard, dual battery, ThinkShutter etc.
          Basically you get what you pay for. As a ThinkPad fan, I wouldn't go to E series because it becomes a generic laptop just like every other brand. IMO, if you want true ThinkPad experience, stick to at least T series or its AMD variance A series.
          EDIT: This is by no means a bad deal though. It's a great buy with discount and cashback.

          I own a T series and an E series. T series is clearly better build quality, but I think the E series build quality is decent compared to it's competitors. They also seem reasonably well designed from a maintenance perspective (while either laptops nowdays are a complete nightmare if you need to get to the insides or replace parts).

      Depends what you need.

      You'll find 14" to be smaller and lighter but I also prefer 15" because it seems to be the smallest form factor you can get for a full sized keyboard with numpad and a proper video card.

      Personally if I need portability over power then I would go to a 13" so either 13" or 15".

      edit: in saying that my main laptop is a 17" which I now consider too big and probably would never use again, and a surface as my more portable alternative.

    Wonder if the 3500U are as nerfed for light gaming as the 2500U thinkpads (I bought one). The TDP they run at bottlenecks the GPU so much I cant even play CS:GO at 60FPS.

    What I'm trying to say is - if you plan on using this for lightweight gaming and its anything like the E485… you're gonna have a bad time.

    • MuddyClear on 07/08/2019 - 20:02

      Vega8 graphics is ample for lightweight gaming on ultra-low/low graphics settings.

      • fiend on 07/08/2019 - 20:45

        They are…. if they are allowed to draw a decent amount of power. The problem is Lenovo capped the 2500U TDP on the E485 (i guess to keep heat down) which in turn nerfs the GPU.

        When I first purchased the E485 I thought yeah ok, she's ok…. but in reality it should be able to hit 1080p low on most basic games. The E485 barely hits 30fps in 720p..
