Just to give you another option: I bought a Lenovo Thinkpad E14 with Intel 255h CPU. This cpu might be better than the Ryzen and has a better gpu on top. Max RAM (not soldered) is 64gb. The Screen is my highlight so far. It has about 6-10 hours of battery depending on the workload. I never had any i

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

155U is slighly less performant than 258V. And much worse in regard of battely life. 125U is even worse. E14 is practically the same low grade ThinkPad as L14. The difference is: E14 - Lenovo aiming this to small\medium business customers L14 - Lenovo aiming this model to entreprise customers (big c

Here, The T480(s) generation was replaced with T14(s) Gen3 AMD. Drastically improved CPU/iGPU performance (6th gen Ryzen7 has 8 cores, iGPU faster than dGPU on T480), first gen that reverted to 16:10 displays again. Real-world battery life when new was around nine hours with the WUXGA screen, quiet

It’s true that Lenovo China is trying to squeeze as much as possible out of what’s been handed down to them. But looking at the sales data, the ThinkBook 14+ sold far better than the ThinkPad E14 Long Battery Life Edition, despite the latter having a stronger brand reputation, better onsite warranty

My wife has a MBA M3 - lovely machine, I do have a bit of hardware envy :-) That said, I really like my ThinkPad E14 Gen 5 (intel i5-1335u). Plenty fast for my needs, feels solid, and although it has a fan it seldom comes on and when it does it's quiet. I went through a phase of buying fanless only,

T14s all-metal build, thin and light, fixed DDR4x-4266 16GB RAM, single NVMe drive, decent Intel chipset, but outmatched by equivalent AMD. 2 years older than L14 G4. L14, plastic/metal build, DDR4-3200 RAM will upgrade to 64GB, more powerful AMD chipset, stronger graphics than Intel 11th Gen, suppo

I've been looking for the laptop for myself and i knew it have to be a ThinkPad. This is how I started to read this sub. Thanks to all people here - I became an expert in a ThinkPad's line-up! There is no rush for me and this is why I didn't buy a ThinkPad at the last Black Friday. I wasn't sure thi

All E14 Gen7 have two SSD slots. Memory is upgradeable or not depending on CPU architecture, E14/16 is the only decently-priced Thinkpad offering two storage slots. All other models offering this feature are high-priced workstation-grade ones. Go for a model with the Intel Lunar Lake CPUs (258V for

Nope, other than the hinge issue it’s solid as a rock. Maybe the keyboard is wearing out quicker than I’d expect it to. But the rest of the laptop has been great so far. The cooling system is a absolute insanity. The little thing never get higher than 60c. Not to mention that it’s extremely light, l
