Design

Both laptops come with well-built bodies. The 14-inch device does offer more metal, with its lid and chassis being crafted from the material. On the other hand, the E15 has an aluminum lid and a plastic chassis. Regardless, we have seen how Lenovo can make a plastic laptop feel durable and tough, so there isn’t a single ounce of worry that the laptops won’t be up to standard, in terms of quality. Generally, the laptops look the same, with either a black or a silver exterior and minimal branding. The E15 has a trick up its sleeve, with a special compartment for wireless earbuds, which is helpful, but without any charging prongs, we don’t find it that useful.


Display

Both laptops come with two Full HD IPS panels with an 800:1 and a 1200:1 contrast ratio, a max brightness of 300 nits, with the higher ratio panel coming with 100% sRGB coverage. On the E14, there’s also a Full HD TN panel with a 250 nits contrast ratio and a 500:1 contrast ratio.


Specifications and features

The two laptops offer the same hardware options, with three Ryzen 5000U-series CPUs: the Ryzen 3 5425U, the Ryzen 5 5625U, and the Ryzen 7 5825U, which are part of the Ryzen Pro lineup, which in theory come with increased performance and stability. The integrated graphics, consist of three of the older Vega units, the Vega 6, Vega 7, and Vega 8, which have a 15W TGP.

The laptops arrive with good I/O coverage, but it could be better. There are two USB Type-A ports, one of which sadly runs at 2.0 speeds, while the other one runs at 3.2 (Gen. 1) speeds. There’s also a single USB Type-C 3.2 (Gen. 1) port, an HDMI 1.4b port, an Ethernet port, and a 3.5 mm audio jack.

There are also some optional features, mainly the fingerprint reader, a backlight for the keyboard, and an upgraded Full HD webcam. The speakers, while firing towards the bottom, come from Harman and have Dolby Atmos support.
