is this a good idea ?

This system, ThinkPad L14 Gen 5 (Intel), is a fine computer. It's relatively new, I see few of these on the used market in the US so far. 16gb of ram and 256gb of SSD are fine starting places and they're also modular/replaceable on this model. The price seems basically fair.

Looking for laptop recommendations! I like Thinkpads, new to compsci

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

need laptop for everyday tasks, NO SOLDERING

US? Dell Latitude 5440 (TBH 5450 would probably still fit in your budget) - sodimm sockets, full m.2 slot for wifi, m.2 slot for wlan, $250 for a 5440 with 16gb/256gb on US eBay, which is a couple generations newer than what you'll typically get in a ThinkPad. https://www.ebay.com/itm/366289482877 a

L14 AMD (Ryzen 5 4650U) vs T14 Intel (i7, 32GB RAM) for Linux dev?

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

Is the Thinkpad L14 gen 4(ryzen 3 pro 7330u) good?

Excellent price. Faster and more powerful than any T480 set up, and you retain modular dual RAM slots, and a replaceable WiFi card. If 8GB RAM is installed, adding an 8GB, or better, 16GB DDR4-3200 stick is a worthwhile upgrade, especially with Windows 11. Hopefully it's fitted with at least a 250 n

Hot take: Lenovo should simplify the Thinkpad line

I can't speak to the whole history of the L series necessarily but the R series used to be almost exactly that. Right down to, lots of T/R models literally shared part numbers for their motherboards, and the differences were in what configurations you could get. With Lenovo really shifting the T ser

Thoughts on this laptop as a development machine?

I have a worse laptop for .NET development, works fine.32 gigs of ram feels on the small side for that price. I also prefer AMD, I think you get a little more bang for your buck. And get the smallest laptop for portability... when you're at home or at your office you should generally be on a docking
