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

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

Ryzen 5 220 vs Ultra 7 255H for Thinkpad E14 Gen7?

For battery life I believe the order is: Lunar Lake > Hawk Point > Arrow Lake given the same battery capacity (hopefully you bought the 64Wh model). For office work and web browsing, 255H would be an overkill in my opinion. Only the Lunar Lake model could have been more efficient. From Notebookcheck

TPFanControl 0.61 will work on many systems where 0.63 or 0.62 won't work

MBA alternative

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

Advice on Buying a ThinkPad for University

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-

How is this ThinkPad T14s gen 6

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

Should I get this Thinkpad E14 gen 7?

This. E14 Gen7 AMD is a good machine especially at that price point, but the base display which this config has is unsuitable for video editing because it lacks color gamut/accuracy. If this had the optional "100%sRGB" display, that'd be recommendable: I'd rather get this instead: https://www.lenovo

Thinkpad E14 Gen 6 Screen Quality

I paid just under $70 for my NE140WUM-N62 that I put in my E14. IMO, I'd never consider a T14 over an E14 nowadays. Simply due to the battery life. E14 w/ U-series CPU and 57wh battery and the 400-nit low power upgrade is over 9 hours on battery. Which is PERFECT for me. T14 w/ it's weeny little 52w
