ThinkPad L14 Gen 4

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

155U is slighly less performant than 258V. And much worse in regard of battely life. 125U is even worse. E14 is practically the same low grade ThinkPad as L14. The difference is: E14 - Lenovo aiming this to small\medium business customers L14 - Lenovo aiming this model to entreprise customers (big c

If you're open to refurbished machines and are looking for what looks like fairly normal usage, maybe consider something like the Dell Latitude 5440? It's a 14-inch mainstream business laptop from 2023 with Intel 13th gen. You can get them on US eBay for $250-350 or so. They have 2x SODIMM slots, WL

T14s all-metal build, thin and light, fixed DDR4x-4266 16GB RAM, single NVMe drive, decent Intel chipset, but outmatched by equivalent AMD. 2 years older than L14 G4. L14, plastic/metal build, DDR4-3200 RAM will upgrade to 64GB, more powerful AMD chipset, stronger graphics than Intel 11th Gen, suppo

Even with RAM and storage, $510 is expensive for a T14 G1, both T14, and L14 G1 are 6 years old. If the T14 still appealed, I'd want to know the age and health of the 1TB NVMe, as it could also be 6 years old, and heavily worn. Avoid if either has a 1366x768 TN display. I'd favor spending less on an

Anything forward of Intel 10th Gen starts with Gen 2 T14, T14s, T15, E14, L14, X13, P14s, P15v, all from 2021 and later. E14 G2 300 nit limit, L14 G2 400 nit low power. In Gen 2 T14 / T14s / P14s all had 500 nit display options, either 4K, or a Touchscreen with Privacy Guard. T15 G2 and P15v G2 had

E14 came into its own in the Gen 5 - upgrade-able RAM, strong AMD chipsets, brighter 16:10 displays. E14 Gen 6 has dual RAM slots, excellent AMD chipsets, a 100% sRGB display option, and, as with all E14 models, dual NVMe drive support, ideal for backups, OS upgrades. The Wi-Fi card can also be upgr

T14 Gen6 AMD or P14s Gen6 AMD. These two are very similar, but the P14s allows for the faster Ryzen HX 370 T14 Gen6 Intel (Do not buy a U class processor in this. Choose V for battery life or H for performance.) P14s Gen5 Intel (Fast, but heavy! See if you can wait for the Gen6 which should have the

Depends on what you value. T14s, all-metal chassis and deck, strong, very light and thin. T14 also well made, thicker and heavier using glass fiber reinforced plastic over a metal sub-frame. L14 G4, all plastic chassis and deck, with either plastic or aluminum lid. T series unquestionably better bui

For that price, I think it's an OK deal: Spec-wise that E14 gen5 AMD (2024) roughly comparable with T14 gen2 AMD (2021) or L14 gen3 AMD). E14 gen5 AMD also comes either with 47wh or 57wh battery vs 50wh (T14 gen2 AMD). It should last at least 5 hours (or 5.5 hours) or more in lighter office apps and
