Spec-sheet of my Lenovo ThinkPad E495

The Lenovo ThinkPad E495 is a low-end low-cost business laptop model. For a very reasonable price you get quite some quality in my opinion.

If anyone wants the same modell:

Type: 20NE Model: CTO1WW

PSREF is not available for this specific device, so I sum it up manually:

  • AMD Ryzen 7 3700U (4MB Cache, up to 3,80GHz)
  • 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4 2.400 MHz SODIMM
  • 512 GB SSD, M.2 2280, PCIe, NVMe, TLC
  • 35,6 cm (14") Full-HD (1920x1080), IPS, 250 cd/m²
  • integrated Graphics (Vega 10)
  • 720p-Camera with Mic
  • TPM 2.0
  • Realtek Wireless-AC 8822BE (WLAN, Bluetooth 4.2)

No fingerprint sensor, no WWAN-modem. It's relevant to say that the Samsung NVMe SSD supports OPAL2 for SED.

It's small, light and robust, everything I need and was about 500 bucks.

No special drivers for Arch Linux were needed but a bit of configuration was necessary.
