On a brief search I found a UK refurb dealer, Newandusedlaptops4u with three models worth a look. All 1080p IPS displays, all listed as ver

Doesn’t look like that’s been the case with the last few E type machines (they’re actually part metal, not all plastic like the prior Edge lineup..) https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-ThinkPad-E14-G5-AMD-review-Affordable-office-laptop-with-better-display.742234.0.html

No. Beyond invalidating the warranty, the cost involved would be better spent on a larger external monitor that could match/outmatch the optional 2560 x 1600 120Hz panel. While ThinkPad 45% NTSC displays are not color accurate, they're still more than usable, just not where color accuracy is require

From Gen 5 forward, you get - 16:10 display, and noticeably improved build quality. AMD models are particularly powerful, but even G5 uses Intel 13th Gen chipsets, with capable Iris Xe Graphics when run with dual channel RAM.

G5 to G6 saw several upgrades, with more RAM and NVMe upgrade options. i5 13420H is slightly more powerful, but less battery efficient than Ultra 5 125U. G6 faster DDR5-5600 RAM, G5 DDR4-3200.

E14 G5:The Ryzen 5 7530U is the newest and strongest chip here, so it'll feel snappier in everyday use and hold up better over time. 16GB RAM + 512GB storage is the best out-of-the-box setup of the three.

If your primary concern is minimal loss, the much cheaper L14 G2, trades a poor display, and cheaper build than the other two, for similar performance to the E14 G5. All three stock displays are 45% NTSC with weak color coverage, red looks orange. L14 16:9 250 nit display, dimmer than 300 nit, and t
