do suggest between E series and thinkBook 16
We currently have a review of the ThinkPad E16, so read both and try to see what’s more important for you. From our experience, ThinkPads and ThinkBooks are very similar, they just have different designs.
We have about 20 ThinkBooks at work and i am not happy with their robustness compared to Thinkpad L series we have. Electronics are ok, not that many more failures than L Thinkpads. Can’t speak for E series because we don’t have any.
