I need help choosing my first Thinkpad for 2026

P.S. I am tech savvy, really like to tinker around with upgrades and what not, that’s why I’m pondering on the 14s since it has limited upgradability. Despite that, you do get a taller 16:10 display, decently robust chassis (lower half is all magnesium, instead of PPS/CFK), the most powerful iGPU he

ThinkPad recommendation for work (open to refurbished, ~$1000 budget)

Since this is for work and budget is pretty large, I would get something that is upgradable and fixable for long term longevity. So, I would get something recently genned L14 AMD or T14 AMD if you want 14 inch. If you need the extra keys, then T15 AMD or L15 AMD. So, gen 6 AMD fits your budget range

T14 Gen 1 vs L14 Gen 2 (both AMD)

Welcome. Touchscreen would be 300nit yes. L14 G2 AMD system specs here. Maybe too costly, but check prices on L14 G5 AMD (2024). New chassis, 400nit 16:10 display. Chipsets a refresh of AMD in T14 G3. PCIe Gen 4, DDR5-4800 dual RAM. Comparable with T14 G3 performance, but without the fixed RAM limit

Mein erster Linux Laptop?

Bin mit meinem L14 Gen3 refurbished sehr zufrieden. Kam mit 16GB was mir bis jetzt gereicht hat aber ist gesockelt. Hab die deutsche Tastatur durch eine amerikanische getaucht. Die kann man direkt bei Lenovo bestellen auch für ältere Geräte. Meinen hab ich damals bei lap works bestellt. War ein gute

L14 g3 or T14 g2

For € 450, neither. I'd look for a 16GB or 32GB X13 G2 AMD, Ryzen 5 or 7, ideally with the larger 54.7Wh battery (41Wh was an option). It's a T14s G2 in a smaller chassis, and a decent 16:10 color accurate 13.3" display. Very good battery life, compact, strong build. More durable and easier to carry

Best laptops for Linux besides thinkpads

Maybe this is obvious, but did you consider getting a notebook from secondhand? I cannot stress enough that the Lenovo L14 AMD (even the Gen1) are great notebooks. You can also swap the display quite easily, so getting one with a broken screen sometimes can be the absolute steal (i bought one with a

T480 or L14 AMD?

L14 G1 is newer (L14 2020, T480 2018), with a more capable chipset, stronger graphics inc light gaming, good connectivity. Dual RAM slots, and plug in Wi-Fi card, as T480. € 200 is a reasonable price, providing good condition, at least 8GB RAM fitted, complete with PSU, W11 licence, and has a 250 ni

looking for new thinkpad

If you want to have some GPU power for casual gaming and otherwise use it as everyday laptop - at your budget check newer AMD-powered E- or L- series T-series will in most cases be above budget. or a generation or two older. Anything with a 7th gen Ryzen.... You can go brand new here for your budget
