Choosing L14 Gen 2 for my first ever Thinkpad.
It's an excellent value machine. If running single channel RAM, worth adding a second stick to run dual channel. Dual channel 16GB (2 x 8GB), for example, would outperform 1 x 16GB. L14 G2 is fairly modular, with plug in WiFi card, and user replaceable keyboard, on top of dual RAM slots. A more plas

T14s Gen 1 or L14 Gen 2? (both Intel)
Build quality of L14 not at same level as T series, but the L14 G2 is very flexible, with a far more capable 11th Gen Intel chipset. Review of an L14 G2 i5-1135G7, and system specs. Dual open RAM slots, potentially supports two internal drives, and numerous ports. The stock 1080p display, is a basic

Can the thinkpad t490 play these games?
Low cost gaming capable ThinkPad, look at L14 G1 or better L14 G2 AMD Ryzen 5 or 7. Avoid any with 1366x768 TN display panels, consider 1080p IPS displays only. Intel 8th/10th Gen (T490) not good for gaming. AMD even in L14 G1, night and day more capable. Can't answer to those specific games, but on

L14 gen2 ryzen 7 5850u or T14 gen2 ryzen 5 5600u?
T14 G2 gives you slightly bigger battery 50WH (L14 45Wh), brighter 300 nit display (L14 250 nit), and stronger build. L14 G2 gives you stronger performance and more upgrade options with a faster Ryzen 7 chipset, with stronger graphics, than in T14 G2, and dual open RAM slots (64GB total). If it's le

Thinkpad for under 200€ in 2026
With Linux your preferred OS, a low cost option is, L14 G2 i5 or i7. Similar to T14 G2, using newer 11th Gen Intel chipsets, with stronger Iris Xe graphics (needs 2 x 8GB RAM or higher). With two open RAM slots, any model can upgrade to 64GB. Excellent connectivity inc Thunderbolt 4, plug in WiFi ca

Which one should I choose?
T495 has better build quality, and slightly better stock display, but L14 G2, with Ryzen 5 5600U or 5 PRO 5650U, night and day more capable, flexible, and 2yrs newer than T495. L14 G2, AMD chipsets faster more powerful 6C/12T design with stronger graphics. T495 Ryzen 7 3700u is a decent 4C/8T chipse

Ryzen 5 Pro 4650U or Ryzen 3 Pro 5450U?
L14 has a plastic chassis and deck. T14 uses a fiberglass reinforced plastic chassis and deck, on top of a magnesium sub-frame. Side by side you can tell the difference, T14 has more refined look and feel to it. It's simply more substantial all round. In pure performance terms, there should be nothi

Is the T14s at 449eur good??
For a T14s Gen 2, € 449 is a bit high. As others have said T14s RAM is fixed, so whatever it's sold with, will be its RAM limit. For upgrade-able RAM, T14 G2, and L14 G2, AMD Ryzen 7 or 5. T14 offers 8GB or 16GB fixed + 1 x open RAM slot (48GB max). L14 G2, has two open RAM slot (64GB max). At compa
