The analogy in this case would be more like you got diagnosed with brain cancer 6 months ago but you waited until today to start living your life like there is no tomorrow, when your illness has progressed so far you’re no longer able to do that. You don’t have to buy RAM and SSD upgrades through Le

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.

E14 g4

Die G4 und G2 haben teilweise Probleme mit der Ladeelektronik. Dann wird ein Chip zu heiß und der Rechner schaltet ab, bzw lädt nicht korrekt auf. Hatte ein E15 G4 mit einem ähnlichen Thema und es hier reparieren lassen: https://sie-tech.de/shop/lenovo/260-lenovo-thinkpad-e14-e15-gen-4-intel-mainboa

ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 14 listed officially as a coming soon model

Lenovo just keeps moving things around, not always the ones that actually need to be moved For example they could move stuff around and allow regular 2242 Nvme (not in WWAN) slot for SSD. Especially now when LPCAMM RAM in T14/P14s G7 takes less space than traditional pair of SODIMM. There has to be

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

Vadonatúj consumer laptop vs. felújitott enterprise laptop

Nekem talan e14 van, ryzen 7 5800u-val, ami eleg kellemes, hatranykent annyit tudnek megemliteni, hogy a Lenovo olyan szinten lockolta a 15 wattos TDP-t, hogy azt semmivel nem lehet fololdani.

Prices went nuts over the night

Oh yeah the price hikes are insane. I bought my Thinkpad e14 gen 7 for INR 68k (Indian Rupees) (managed to get a 10k discount) in late-Jan. Last month the price of the same device jumped to 97k INR which is insane. I would say that the price hikes are inordinately steep even by current market standa

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. At this point, it would simply be much more economical to buy a ThinkBook, especially with how the ThinkBook 14+ 2026 has a 99.9Wh batte
