E14 is a sturdy laptop. This laptop is listed on Lenovo Saudi Arabia site. https://www.lenovo.com/sa/en/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpad-e-series/ThinkPad-E14-Gen-3-14%E2%80%9D-AMD/p/22TPE14E4A3 The only difference being Storage SSD1: Up to 1TB M.2 PCIe SSD Optional: SSD2: Up to 512GB M.2 PCIe SSD This will increase the price of the laptop. However, there is a good chance that the 1TB SATA HDD version is also available in the market (if not the website). warm regards Saifi.
