Hey everyone,

I’m looking for a laptop for university and I’ve narrowed it down to two options, which are, the E16 or the L14.

The specs are almost identical, so performance isn’t really the deciding factor. I've pasted the detailed specs below.

What I’m unsure about is the difference between the E and L series in terms of build quality and durability. I like the 16" screen on the E16 because of the extra real estate, but I’ve read that the L series has better build quality, and I'd go with the smaller screen for a better quality machine.

How noticeable is that difference? Is the L series actually more durable, or is it pretty similar nowadays?

Any input is appreciated

Thanks in advance.
