Dropping a ThinkPad with soldered RAM = financial ruin, let alone with current RAM prices

It's such a cruel joke that the HP EliteBook 845 G7/G8 from 2020/2021 is fully upgradable up to 64GB RAM with its two sticks, is lighter at just 1.32kg (despite being made of metal) and has more charging ports (which means no weak link with the USB-C which ThinkPads rely on to charge), than the Thin

Hidden gem of used laptop

HP EliteBook 845 G7/G8 with Ryzen 3 APUs as an upgradable alternative to ThinkPad T14s Gen 1/2, Dell Precision 3530 as a cheap alternative to the ThinkPad P52, and the ThinkPad L15 Gen 1 AMD, if the price is right. For the best imaginable value, you should look for Dell Latitude 5490 and 5590, which

How do I convince my mom to let me buy (with my own money) a thinkpad for school?

Dude. You're getting a Dell. Get a Latitude 5490 for less than $100. They're dirt cheap now but are competitive with the T480 in many aspects. That, or an HP EliteBook 845 G7 with a Ryzen 3 4450U.

Torn between three ThinkPad choices

What a giant rip-off. Look for an L14/L15/T14/T15 Gen 1 with a Ryzen processor. Alternatively look for an HP EliteBook 845 G7.

How can they provide this much for the price what's the catch

The catch is that for this price JUST BUY A THINKPAD T14 GEN 1 or an HP EliteBook 845 G7 on the second-hand market. Do not bother with this no-name trash https://youtu.be/NzRehSFWuKo?t=229&si=nzNT--Ye_Eh6NrH1

Dropping a ThinkPad with soldered RAM = financial ruin, let alone with current RAM prices

How much does the T14 cost? If both cost the same, then get the T14. Also do not buy the HP EliteBook 845 G7 or G8 with a Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7 - it's better and more economical to get one with a Ryzen 3, because it's got bad cooling that won't handle a 6-core or 8-core CPU. And with a T14, it also doe

Dropping a ThinkPad with soldered RAM = financial ruin, let alone with current RAM prices

I'd recommend to sit it out and wait for the L14 or T14 Gen 2s with AMD processors to become cheaper. Get something with a Ryzen 3 5450U or a Ryzen 5 5650U. An EliteBook 845 G7 isn't worth $200 when the T14 Gen 1 with the same processor is $200. Furthermore, the T14 and L14 with Ryzen 4000 series su

It just died

Other ThinkPads, older ones such as the L15 Gen 2 (because they didn't even bother giving us 2 RAM slots in a 15" laptop such as the T15), as well has HP EliteBook 845 G8, if we're talking about having a fast CPU and a serviceable iGPU. However, I'm more inclined towards the L15 Gen 2, because even
