ThinkPad T14 Gen 5

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

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

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

Recently bought a completely new and sealed t14g5 512 16 for 650€. I guess it depends a lot on the specific market where you're from.

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

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
