A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

They may want whatever, they'll get what the IT dept gives them based on requirements... 👀

Anyway, an E15 is 1.8Kg, while a Yoga Pro is over 2Kg. The screen is not the best, but perfectly fine for anything other than photo/video work. It does have a SODIMM slot in addition to the soldered RAM, a secondary M.2 2280 slot, and the main NVMe is also an M.2 2242 (right now, the 8GB one goes up to 40GB RAM + 2TB + 16TB NVMe). Only thing it's missing, is a WWAN slot.

Honestly, the Yoga have better screens, some are smaller and lighter, some have a touchscreen or pen support, or an SD reader... but all similar raw performance, and less upgradeability. The Surface Pro, I've heard horror tales about, both from a lack of upgradeability, and difficulty to repair.

who is buying enterprise equipment from Amazon?

Someone who wants it at half price, and yet with full warranty 😉
