ThinkPad E14 G5

From Gen 5 forward, you get - 16:10 display, and noticeably improved build quality. AMD models are particularly powerful, but even G5 uses Intel 13th Gen chipsets, with capable Iris Xe Graphics when run with dual channel RAM. G5 8GB + 1 open RAM slot (40GB max), G6/G7 2 open RAM slots (64GB max). Al

No. Beyond invalidating the warranty, the cost involved would be better spent on a larger external monitor that could match/outmatch the optional 2560 x 1600 120Hz panel. While ThinkPad 45% NTSC displays are not color accurate, they're still more than usable, just not where color accuracy is require

If your primary concern is minimal loss, the much cheaper L14 G2, trades a poor display, and cheaper build than the other two, for similar performance to the E14 G5. All three stock displays are 45% NTSC with weak color coverage, red looks orange. L14 16:9 250 nit display, dimmer than 300 nit, and t

L14 G5 stock display while a more modern 16:10, has very poor color accuracy, with red having a noticeable orange hue. Read a review of a Ryzen 5 L14 G5 here. You can see how red appears more orange in the display images of the review. Ryzen 3 chipset is decent, even at 4 core, but its power consump

E14 Gen 5 is a good value upgrade-able machine, however I'd hesitate with an i3-1315U, which isn't very powerful, and restricted to weaker UHD graphics. I don't know the pricing in your location, but far more capable chipsets used in the E14 G5 - i5-1335U, i7-1355U, AMD Ryzen 5 7530U, Ryzen 7 77730U

Thank you, and I've amended the above details. I was simply referring to the main chassis, but for clarity will use plastic chassis/metal top panel, as the term. A friend has an E14 G5 Ryzen 5, and similar to you, they're more than happy with it. Only on seeing the 72% NTSC display on my T14s, did t

G5 to G6 saw several upgrades, with more RAM and NVMe upgrade options. i5 13420H is slightly more powerful, but less battery efficient than Ultra 5 125U. G6 faster DDR5-5600 RAM, G5 DDR4-3200. G6 includes two RAM slots (64GB dual channel total). E14 G5 8GB/16GB fixed + open slot (16GB/32GB dual chan

E14 G5 > are well built, and a marked upgrade over previous models. That's a decent chipset, with Intel Iris Graphics, rather than older UHD, when dual channel RAM is installed. Supports two internal NVMe drives, just note they need to be the smaller M.2 2242 type. Depending on RAM installed, it upg
