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

E14 G5:The Ryzen 5 7530U is the newest and strongest chip here, so it'll feel snappier in everyday use and hold up better over time. 16GB RAM + 512GB storage is the best out-of-the-box setup of the three. Should be easier to resell down the line since it's newer and better specced. T14 G3: The i5-12

E14 G5 Intel, slower DDR4 3200 RAM, 8 or 16GB fixed + empty slot (48GB max), USB 2.0 port, single Thunderbolt. Dual NVMe drive support. Default display, poor color, red looks orange. Plastic chassis/metal top panel. Older generation Intel chipsets, than in T14 G5. T14 G5, higher quality and stronger

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

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

By current standards, Intel 10th Gen H model chipsets, are not particularly powerful, but generate a lot of heat. At 6 lbs, a P15 is more than twice the weight of your 2.49 lbs X1 Carbon. Notebook Check’s review of the P15 G1, found its keyboard to be noisy, flexing in use. I had a T420s with a flex

$600 seems ample for a decent replacement, there’s plenty of choices available; it’s down to whether you’d want to focus on modularity or footprint/weight .. At the lower end (maybe $300-450?), I’d be looking at something like this. https://www.ebay.com/itm/297455508165 (E14 G4 - if you don’t mind s

hi, sorry for wasting your time. I looked around a bit more. So, at first I was skeptical about the e series because I saw many posts saying that the e had significantly worse build quality than the t series. I also saw some posts saying that that wasn't true with the newer e models but I also some

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
