This is a far better deal than the 14e that was posted a couple months ago. The CPU is a 2020 Zen1 Ultra Low Power 5w chip. Probably will have excellent battery life but is still going to be slow. At least it's a real PCIe SSD and not eMMC storage. With a decent screen and backlit KB it's worth it at $150 for basic browsing/office tasks or to use as a mobile thin client with the Win10 Pro license.

This is targeted at education (meant to be bought in bulk by schools for use in classrooms), hence why it has Windows Pro (education edition) and why the build quality is surprisingly durable for something in this price range.

I got the original 14w from 3 years ago for $130 as a SD frontpage deal, and the deal here is the new second generation version of the 14w, and looks like it's a much better system. The original 14w had a pre-Ryzen Excavator CPU, so this would be much, much faster. There was no backlit keyboard in the original and the storage was a 64GB soldered eMMC, whereas this is a 128GB replaceable NVME. So, much better stats all around, for just a $20 price increase from 3 years ago.

In any case, the best features here is the Windows Pro license and the build quality (with backlit keyboard and USB-C charging, too). Performance is comparable to what you'd see in low-end Chromebooks, since this is meant to compete against the Chromebook infestation in the education market. Keep in mind that this has a 6-watt CPU and no fan--it's all passively cooled.

I bought a refurbished 2019 ASUS Chromebook C425 in Mar 2020 a really nice laptop, for $289
I also have a Sony VAIO from 2012/13 with an i5-3210m, probably bought for $500+ back in the day

Here are benchmarks of the three

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/comp...s815vs3367

I use my Sony daily, as I love the keyboard, trackpad, and screen is still reasonable and it still does the job of daily internet browsing, youtube, etc.

I'm sure this Lenovo with AMD 3015e will be great for $150ish

Windows 10 Pro 64 preinstalled through downgrade rights in Windows 11 Pro 64 - What exactly does this mean? Is it win 11 pro which can be downgraded or is it already win 10 pro which gives the option to upgrade with the free windows 11 upgrade??

The poster was being funny. He is saying you get get win 11 if you want but doing so is a downgrade.

In the event this comes back in stock as most Lenovo sale items tend to fluctuate with their stock counts, can anyone give a real-world experience with this model and distro-hopping Linux builds? I had the OG 14w and, while some builds gave fits, I was pretty satisfied with it as a dedicated Linux machine, not sure if this would be the same with the different chipset.

Actually that line is actually on the lenovo website as well. So it's not just the poster.

I got the original 14w from 3 years ago too. Far to slow for actually use. I installed Chrome OS Flex on it.

I was considering installing flex on my friends 3 year old 14w, how was the performance? Did you try any Linux distros prior to compare?
