Thinkpad E480 vs. ProBook 440 G5

[HybriddShadow]

I started my ICT studies at University and I need a laptop for programming (C,C++, Javascript) and basic school stuff. I've already picked two laptops which have everything I want but I can't decide because I've no experience in Lenovo or HP laptops. Both are 900 euros, 3 year warranty, 8gb DDR4 and 256gb SSD.

Best to check out the units in person.
I would pick the E480.
I have always liked the thinkpad keyboards.
I have found that HP products include unwanted monitoring apps, more so than Lenovo.
Here are links to a review for each.
