    Yes it's.
    is that EDU pricing?
    definitely get upgrade to onsite warranty

      Yes it’s EDU pricing, with onsite warranty, it’s around 1600.

        yea definitely worth upgrading to onsite warranty.

        and that price is good, purchased the previous version (p14s gen 3 amd with ryzen 7 pro 6800u (similar performance to this ryzen 5), 32gb/512gb) earlier this yr for the old man, paid ~1900 with EDU

    That damn screen though is just so bad from what I have read… Only thing stopping me from buying one myself.

      How bad is it? I mostly plug in for monitors at home and use it on campus

      Is this the standard non-shiny Thinkpad screen or something else?

      Because one of the reasons I buy Thinkpads is that they don't have that dumbasss reflective screen that come on most laptops these days. You lose a little bit of that colour over-saturation, and you cut down massively on reflections, especially in bright light situations.

      yea its not great (that 45%), and looks like the upgrades to nicer ones are not currently available

      Fine for indoors but colours are pretty dull

        How about this deal for IdeaPad Pro 5? With onsite warranty, it’s 1500 and it has significantly better screen

          7735HS is a refreshed 6800U with higher TDP (28W vs 15). comparable performance, and comparable to ryzen 5 of ur original system

          Screen is much better on that ideapad for sure. But build quality is not comparable. Thinkpad far more durable and keyboard is better. You can get 5 yr warranty for thinkpad, not so for ideapad. If youre plugging into monitor go for thinkpad.

    Where does that pricing come from?
