ThinkPad E14 Gen 7

T-series with only 1 year warranty? And for full price? Definitely not a good deal. You could get the same specs in E14 Gen7 guise (plus 2.8k IPS display) for a few hundred less. This is a configuration primarily aimed at top efficiency with its Lunar Lake CPU. It will do a very good job at general

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

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

Hot-swappable batteries are no longer offered on Thinkpads. Last model to have those was Tx80 from 2018. You will need to carry a USB-C power bank like the Lenovo 40ALLG2WWW instead if you absolutely require backup power. However, current Thinkpads offer batter runtimes in excess of eight hours when

I just ordered a new LunarLake (Intel) E14 Gen7 with education pricing that you may also have access to for 950€ directly from Lenovo (Austria). It doesn't have upgradeable RAM as it needs to be soldered for LunarLake, but it comes with 32GB for sub 1000€ which will last me some time. IMO it is curr

Exactly. Same here (people require/want/demand higher resolutions than FHD/FHD+, and Lenovo (and others) resorting to OLEDs for those high-res displays in non-workstation models The keyboard on the E-series is not worse than on T. The days of Thinkpad keyboards being outstanding are gone on all line

Difference is generational - about 20% more power. Especially the iGPU has improved (I only have the the Ryzen7). Efficiency (=battery runtime) in typical general-purpose use is better than with Gen3 as well except under sustained high loads where Gen3 has an advantage. In all fairness, I have a lar

Sounds like a G1 model (we’re now up to Gen7 on those) Intel version comes with a choice of platforms (either Lunar Lake or the standard Arrow Lake), this might be worth a look.. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-ThinkPad-E14-G7-review-The-affordable-office-laptop-stands-out-from-the-competition-

That's ... expensive. I paid almost 25% less, and got the top-of-the-line 2.8k OLED display, plus WWAN and the five-year warranty/service package. But ordered more than one... 258V is the sweet spot CPU, and way undertasked for nothing but "office" work. For your use case, the i5-branded 226V/228V/2

Thanks for recommending these: E14 Gen7 E16 Gen3 Regarding the display... super information and appreciate the feedback! I am still leaning towards AMD due to cost, even though subpar panel (and maybe an opportunity to upgrade in the future). Any thoughts on the "webcam notch" for these two models -
