By not including a T14 G1 AMD, you trade weight and 16:10 display for a much weaker chipset in the E14 G5. Ryzen 3 7330U is a refresh of an older 4C 8 Thread Ryzen 3 5300U.

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
