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

Thanks for understanding where I'm coming from. All the thinkpad keyboards are great. I haven't come across a bad keyboard. I wish you could try a t14g5 or newer. The change is subtle but when you use it to long form write for more than 15 mins, you'll feel is a subtle but good change. The keys push

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

There's, I'd argue, a different value proposition there, and I would even say that paying "more than an eba

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

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
