Lenovo Thinkpad E495 - AMD Ryzen 5 3500U 8GB RAM 256GB SSD Win10H
Usual issues with low quality screens (250nits), but sounds like a decent machine for casual surfing/the parents/streaming movies.

This version has a TN display with 768p resolution.
Ewww. Just when you think Lenovo can't scrape the barrel any harder they go ahead.
so what kinda resolution is needed to be a decent laptop?
1080p
768p in 2021, nice
Forget the nits…. It's 1366x768.
no nitpicking?
You won't be able to see em at this resolution
If i was nitpicking I would have pointed out that it's only 220nits, not 250.
I saw "ThinkPad" and "Ryzen" and was so stoked, but really? 768p? In 2021? ON A THINKPAD??
Edge is the budget range.
Check Amazon, many laptop better than this for the same range price.
768p? Gross… TN panel? Disgusting… Decent spec for the price ruined by the monitor.
Lenovo just hurls all their bad screens at the Australian market. It's so disappointing. Even high end ThinkPad P's will still have NTSC 45% and 250nits on a $1500 model. Urgh.
Unfortunately they seem to be the only mainline manufacturer backing Ryzen fully on their corporate lines (well as of 6 months ago, maybe HP has started dunno).
What blows my mind is that they don't offer the 400 nit 1080p option that every reviewer / commentator on the internet says is great, its 250 nit, 300-nit with useless touch, or 500 nit with terrible privacy filter WTF (let alone higher res options).
Yea this is driving me nuts. You'll watch a review and it's like 400 nit 1080p X1 ryzen for $1200USD. Meanwhile in Aus: $2000 for the same 8gb model of that.
Dont buy this one if you dont want to feel the pain of 1h battery after less than a year of usage…take my words.
1080p should be a minimum in this day and age.
This is actually way worse than the E495's that we're used to seeing posted last year. This version has a TN display with 768p resolution.
There's not many good laptops on sale on Lenovo atm and this is actually one of the worst ones. Maybe checkout the Slim 5 for $799 instead.
