I'm indecisive as hell and in need of a laptop for college (lots of papers and internet browsing and occasional streaming). So I decided to let you guys decide. Even though this is the off topic sub I know I'm talking to a predominantly ancient group of people, but I know from previous talks with some members that there's many tech geeks around here, so here's our two options:
Lenovo yoga slim 7: ultra sleek and ultra thin. Crazy powerful to boot. Ryzen 5 4500u + 16gbs ram + 512 SSD.
Lenovo Thinkpad 490: although it comes with the laughably slower i7-8565u it's still should be fast enough for my regular uses. Also comes with 16/512 gigs. These things are still portable enough and they're built like tanks with magnificent keyboards by all accounts.
So here's my predicament, would you go for the thinner sleeker or the better built one? The mid tier faster one or the high end, premium but slower one?
