For battery life on linux in thinkpad t14 gen 6, which of these two processors do you think will do well?AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 or Intel Core Ultra 5 225U?

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

Any opinions on the T14 Gen 5 AMD?

In this particular model, the OLED display eats battery like there's no tomorrow. You will get like up to 3 hours of battery life, compared to around 6 for the IPS panel. That runtime is with low/moderate use. On reviews you can see up to 12 hours or so (IPS display), but on idle. Also, getting the

ThinkPad T14 (Ultra 5 238V, 32GB soldered) worth it long-term?

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

I bought a T480. Any advice on what I should do before using it?

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

T14 gen 5, downsides?

Good luck. Maybe AMD version of same T14G5 is more performing, as everybody tells.But Intel is still performing enough for me even if tied by tlp. AMD users sometimes mention coil whine which I didn't want to risk.

Why would you ever buy a T480 when you can buy a T14 Gen 2 or higher for cheaper?

For me, in comparing between T480 and T14G2 I’ll choose T14G2. But if comparing with T490 or T14G1 I’ll choose T480. Next leap in processer technology is T14G5.

Any opinions on the T14 Gen 5 AMD?

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

What's the current recommendation for running Davinci Resolve with integrated AMD GPU

I have a Lenovo T14 Gen 5 with a Ryzen 7 8840U with 780M Graphics. I run Debian 13. I have Davinci Resolve Studio 20 running there. I did have to install the mROC drivers (I think that was the name, it's been a while) so that Resolve would detect the video card, which it does. That's my travel machi

Don't buy the X9-15

Damn. So if you are not going to accept the replacement, which model will you go for? I think the X9 is a new product formula so even for me I won’t buy the first gen of something like that. Better to wait for the product line to be at least a year old before knowing it’s good or not. Anyways, Lenov

Real-world battery life on the T14 G5 AMD with Linux

Glad to read that :) Btw notebookcheck reported coil whine on T14g5 8840u. I guess you don't experience that, hopefully.
