The small 1 below the fan not even 2280.
Problems I have with this notebook
1. Heavy @ 1.86KG
2. Slow to boot (CMOS takes time to load before OS starts kicking in to load)
3. Lenovo Nvme is slow.
4. Thick

Mine is quite fast leh. (updated to the latest Windows and deleted the useless anti virus) Lenovo SSD is surely slower than Samsung, but I don't think it's that slow and don't think we can feel it so much in real life. I don't know, but that's how I felt.
China, really is china. Tons of variations. I have updated everything to the latest including drivers. And removed everything that i deem unnecessary including AV. It is not Windows that i am blaming. It is Bios/cmos.
In fact the read write is only comparable to a SATA SSD. Except for big files on read. The write is either worst or similar to a Samsung EVo 850 that i owns. Iirc with my cdm benchmark.

I am a little bit tempted to sell the laptop off to get the Acer Swift 3 or HP Envy 13. This is after I realised the newer models have the capability to charge via USB-C, and also have a dedicated power supply (so you don't waste away a USB-C port just like that).
However, right now, the Swift 3 and Envy 13 only have Type C Gen 1 and not Gen 2 like the E485. Also, speccing it to have a 512GB RAM on either models will be far more expensive. So a little on the fence. Battery life and weight may pull me over the edge.
One thing about weight though. My office laptop, until recently, was a T440, an Ultrabook. I really loved the laptop, thought it was really light (until I got my Latitude 7390 replacement which was even lighter) and wished I could have a similar one for home use. Guess what? The T440 weights 1.81kg. Pretty much the same as the E485.
I’m looking at envy also. Take note it can’t charge using USB-C.
Apple is refreshing too, hence can look At the Starbucks approved laptop
