@OP - If you are ok with Ryzen 3 - new TP E14 R3 model is going for 34k on FK - www.flipkart.com/lenovo-amd-ryzen-3-quad-core-7330u-8-gb-512-gb-ssd-windows-11-home-tp-e14-gen-5-thin-light-laptop/p/itmba41ecb80a484

Btw the op should know that cpu is based on zen-3 architecture which came out 5 years ago.

My experience seems to be better with respect to E series. We have found them to be much much better than the consumer grade stuff. I have used all of them, its the relative cost as well that you need to factor in also. Will the E series take abuse like the others - no. But will be be reliable workhorses for those not trying to kill the laptops? Yes.

That's agreeable.
E series in 30-40k budget might be better than most new laptops found at that price range.
But if given the option to get T or the X series ThinkPad or a E series one, ideally you should go for T or the X series.
