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

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

Can current Lenovo laptops be used to play games(mid specs)?

ThinkPads aren't really for gaming. The cheapest new ThinkPad on Lenovo's website is the E14 Gen 7 with a Core 5 210H, but it only has 8GB of RAM for over $800. I wouldn't recommend buying a new ThinkPad just because the prices are so high when they are initially released.

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

ThinkPad E14 Gen 7 options?

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

Suggest me top 3 best laptops to buy

Lenovo ThinkPad Gen 7 with Ryzen 5 220, E14. Running cool. Avoid the AI processors. Its all about the NVME, and laptop cooling system., count of processors. 6 is a good number. The EVO 990 Plus is more cool than others, lees stalling. Using the E14 as desktop computer, DELL 21:9 monitor - with 2 x 3

I need help, i’m about to buy a Thinkpad… but unsure on which to choose

I'd be leaning towards the E14 G2 (11th gen Intel should give you the best performance out of those chips there, you should get one additional memory slot, two NVME slots) T490 could work (chip has mitigations, you should get an additional SODIMM, parts are more freely available) X1 might be your ni

Boa tarde pessoal lindo desse sub, qual not eu compro?

Eu não iria em nenhum dos dois. Recomendo fortemente ir de Lenovo thinkpad, cara hoje na atualidade pra trabalho não existe notebook melhor na minha opinião. Tenho um Thinkpad T14 Gen 2 Intel core i7 11th gen 1TB SSD ( upgrade ) e 48GB RAM DDR4 3.200Mhz (Upgrade). E também tenho um E14 Gen2 i5 de 11

Is this a good deal?

The sale is basically pot luck. With that chipset they could be supplying a T480, T490, or an L390. It's not a bad price, depending on what you got, but that's the unknown. I had a look on eBay UK and if £200 is your limit, I found a private sale for an E14 G2 AMD Ryzen 5 16GB (8GB + 8GB), 256GB, 10
