Apple=expensive meme will only die if it stops being true. For example, I can get a Thinkpad T14 Gen 4 with the best processor AMD has to offer, 32 GB RAM and a 512 GB SSD for less than the base M2 Air (€1250 vs €1300), which has a pitiful 8 GB/256 GB RAM.
If that's too expensive, an E14 Gen 5 has a previous-generation processor but can be had in a reasonable configuration (Ryzen 5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) for around €700.
You can knock a fair chunk (€60) off of the price by getting them without Windows as well, which is a nice option when you're gonna install Linux anyway. But the prices I mentioned is before you even do that!

Of course upgrade to OLED is only ~$250 which isn’t that bad The E15 is way too plasticky for it to be a fair comparison also the screen is awful. > But the prices I mentioned is before you even do that! While it’s on sale sure. Otherwise the price is much, much higher https://www.lenovo.com/fr/fr/configurator/cto/index.html?bundleId=21K3CTO1WWFR1 https://www.lenovo.com/fr/fr/configurator/cto/index.html?bun...
- ColonelPhantom 3y agoI picked the upgrade to the low-power screen, which should look much better than the base screen, although probably not as good as a Mac one. OLED would cost an extra €100 compared to that, although it does have some compromises such as higher power draw. Also, current Thinkpads have 1920x1200 screens on most models now, not 1920x1080. And the OLED ones are 2880x1800, which sounds nice but honestly 1200p sounds nicer as it'd be usable without scaling. Those prices in the French store look absolutely wild to me. In the Dutch store, the base model T14 Gen 4 AMD starts at 999, without any discounts visible!
