ThinkPad T14 Gen 5

I upgraded to an AMD T14G5 from a T430. Got it used for like 750 USD. It only had 2 battery cycles on it :D

I optimized my intel 165U quite well for battery on linux. Wifi browsing for maybe 8 hours. Despite that I would recommend amd ryzen. Mightbe battery would be worse a small bit or two bits, but other than that it is more mature chip for overall real tasks. And more energy efficient for longer lastin

Build quality of Lenovo isn't as great as it once wise. I had a T14 gen 5 and it felt cheap and had issues with the touchpad. Opted for the X1carbon with a dedicated fingerprint sensor, much better. Also no errors with the trackpad. But all at added cost. It addition, win 11 is absolutely garbage an

It's one of the best units that soldered ram haters like me could get until the T14 Gen 5 starts getting dumped by companies and approach T480 cheap status, though the T14G5 has a soldered wifi card. Ordinary people may not care but few of us do, even if soldered ram screwing up (mobo replacement) i

I have this laptop, originally purchased with the lousy screen. A month ago, I bought the OLED panel assembly from Lenovo and upgraded it. I love it now, but had to set the screen to 60hz to save battery life. IMO, the battery life on this model has always been lousy, and the OLED definitely uses mo

For my daily use i own T14 gen 5 (AMD). My GF got E14 gen 7 (Intel) and i must say I am surprised how good the E14 is. The only really noticeable differences in favour of T14g5 are: keyboard (backlighting and replacability) screen (a little bit better) Otherwise the E14g7 is much better in many ways

I would be running image editing and design software quite a bit so the display is important. So do you need the P3 colorspace or not? Seems pretty straightforward to me. T14G5 and P14sG5 Intel are two completely different machines. Latter is more powerful than the former even if similarly spec'ed d

T14G5 is quite similar to P14sG5 in configuration, but P-series would consume more energy than T-series. You may consider T14pG5 (Chinese version), it would have more slots for upgrades.

Thinkpads are not known for great battery life. Mac is supposed to be much better with apple arm chips. I feel modern build quality is not as good as previous. Pretty happy with my t14g5 but it has an i7, but battery life is probably around 6hr with standard use. I purchased it to run windows for sc
