I'm officially broke because of this sub

8840HS, 64GB, 4TB, 2.8K OLED. Reason for AMD only is because in Gen3, Intel was absolute, utter, garbage. In gen 4, Intel wasn't competitive, although wasn't garbage. In gen 5, Intel was competitive in the H vs. HS, but not in U vs. U, and still was behind AMD in H vs. HS. I wanted Intel E14 Gen7 (I

ThinkPad better than Latitude or EliteBook?

Linux compatibility? Equal on all 3 generally. Hinges that break less? Equal on all 3. Easier to service? Lenovo wins this. Easy to find HMM for almost every business model, while HP and Dell has them, much harder to find. Lighter weight? Thinner? Depends on the exact models you're comparing. X1C vs

Is Framework laptops worth the premium? Developer looking for a new laptop

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

I need help choosing my first Thinkpad for 2026

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

After one year with my T480 as my daily, it’s time to move on.

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

Recommendation for ThinkPad with 2 NVMe + 780M iGPU

E14 Gen7 and E16 Gen3 (14" and 16" editions of largely the same system) are both available with Ryzen7 250 / 780M iGPUs and have two NVME slots. I can wholeheartedly recommend those. Quality has improved dramatically over earlier generations, price point is good, this generation of AMD CPU/iGPU is p

E14 gen 7 released?

Yes, in fact you can already find the "Coming Soon" notice on the Lenovo US website, also they were published in the PSREF LENOVO weeks ago too. And without a doubt, the E series has taken an important step forward compared to its previous generation.I hope the price isn't too unreasonable. P.S. In

My E14 Gen 6 after almost a year

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 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

Need a new laptop for university: L14 G4 vs T14s Gen 2

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
