ThinkPad T14 Gen 5

Would prob grab E14 to have the dual m.2 slots, and bigger battery. The feel of the T14 is pretty much the same to me between T14 and E14...ended up getting a deal for $530 on a t14g5 refurb from Lenovo Outlet with 135u, 16gb, and 512gb NVMe and threw in a 4tb 990 Pro. It's a great daily but dont th

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

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

I have pretty same: t14g5 i 165u 64gb, I barely got 20 gb ram usage during sbt compilation. Go for 32. If 64 will be needed, you can upgrade later. Moreover RAM in t14g5 isn't speedy if coming from Lenovo. If 64gb is needed, buy as small stock ram from Lenovo and upgrade ypurself to 64gb of low late

Between personal and company, I had 10 laptops or so. Dell, HP, Asus. My T14G5 just works. That's it. Whatever I throw at it, it works. I never had such a seamless and easy experience installing linux as in this laptop. I tried really hard to find anything wrong with it, the best I came up with was

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.

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.

Thank goodness those useless phone call buttons didn't last long and were replaced with something more useful in 2024. I wrote about this in my post, with an accompanying picture here: https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/1e6ey6e/lenovo_thinkpad_txx_2024_t16_gen_3_t14_gen_5/

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

Reinterpreting this slightly as "would I take a 5070 for my 9070", my answer is still no. My server is all-Intel (Haswell-era Xeon with an ARC A380). My desktop (5800X3D) and laptop (ThinkPad T14G5 Ryzen 8840U) are all-AMD. Wouldn't have it any other way.
