Shopping spree: Thinkpad E14 & P14s

[6730b]

Lately came across 2 Thinkpads at interesting prices, both landed on my table. Nice to have something new to look at, and re-awake my humble skills in os installation \ setup \ tweaking etc, long time not done anything in that dept. Set to replace 2 ageing (10+ years) win 8.1 laptops.

E14 gen5, Ryzen 3, 300 nits\45%, 16\250 GB, w11 pro.
No power champion but very capable for all light tasks, browsing, streaming, music etc.
SH but never used, only 200 usd.

P14s gen5, Ryzen 7, 400 nits\100%, 16\1 TB, key light, fingerprint, w10 iot ltsc.
Nice machinery for 1000 usd (nearly 50% off, Lenovo webshop).

Both: cool & silent (normal \ light use), excellent keyboard, build quality feels good, lightweight, great battery times, fast charging.

Good finds, especially at those prices. The P14s Gen 5 looks like a great deal with the Ryzen 7, better display, and larger SSD, while the E14 seems perfect for everyday use without spending much. It would be interesting to hear how both compare after a few weeks of use, particularly in terms of battery life and thermals. I personally looking for Dell DC15250 or DC15255 laptop, Exploring this series at the moment confused.
