I just bought an E485 (AMD Ryzen). I'm enjoying it thoroughly. The "E" series has integrated battery and fewer USB/data ports/less dock compatibility, BUT battery, drive, and RAM are all "user-serviceable" meaning not soldered in.

And I got a great deal with some discount codes, now expired... AMD Ryzen 2700U, 16GB RAM, 128GB NVMe drive, 1080p matte screen for $670 plus tax and shipping.

If I had more money, I would have gotten the A485 (AMD fanboy) as the A and T series are easier to maintain and have more features like keyboard backlights.
