Which laptop (second hand) should i buy ?

There's no E14 with dGPU and certainly not with a RTX2000 Ada (workstation GPU). Look at the Intel PSREF and AMD PSREF. In this sub, we'll never recommend an Ideapad because those are consumer, way lower quality line, with cheaper materials. Having said that, if you intend to run VMs, get the one wi

E14 VS. T14

E14 G7 is the more modular, with dual internal NVMe drive support, and upgrade-able WiFi cards, but its metal topped plastic chassis, isn't as rugged as the T14, and its displays are poorer, especially the entry level 45% NTSC. T14, metal sub-frame with a reinforced composite chassis, and stronger h

T14 G7 will be just a glorified E14 (opinion / rant)

It's not the E14 that has improved, more like how hard the T14 has degraded in rigidity and reliability in general. Lenovo is speedrunning the murder of ThinkPads.

Finally

Nice deal. I was in a similar situation. Has a Lenovo IdeaPad 5 14 but the keyboard is getting faulty after 2 times of replacement. So bought a thinkpad e14 gen 7. However the surprise for me is the ideapad 5 14 is having better build quality even after 5 years. Thinkpad slightly feels cheap.
