ThinkPad T14

IMHO the gold standard right now is this Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 7 - which got a 10/10 for repairability on iFixit: The keyboard, battery, ports, and fans are all designed to be easy to replace. And while the laptop uses low-power LPDDR5x memory, it’s not soldered to the mainboard: this one of a rel

If this is your first ThinkPad, go newer. The T480 is great for tinkering, but the T14 Gen 2 is the better daily driver for most people, faster RAM too. What you do gain is a massive generational leap in performance over any 8-10th gen Intel chip and you’ll feel it in every single task. Just open so

It's not cheap. CAD 349 buys you a used ThinkPad or HP EliteBook that's going to be much faster, come with a usable amount of RAM, and a proper Windows installation, not Windows 11 in S mode.

Mac vs Windows for tech theatre really depends on what you're doing... As a "Jill of all trades" myself I actually have both 😅. Unless the course has specifically recommended a Mac I would probably say windows is fine. The 8gb Vram for SketchUp is a suggestion. I would get something modern with a mi

The ThinkPad T14 and T14s Gen 7 will also include potent AMD configurations with upcoming Ryzen AI Pro 400-series processors. These chips are built on AMD's latest "Zen 5" architecture and include the Ryzen 7 Pro 450 and Ryzen 5 Pro 440, both with a 25W TDP. Equipped with an integrated AMD Radeon Na

I am the CTO at a medium sized company that has fielded the X1, X13, T14, T14s, T16 and various MacBook pros. I bought some X9-14's and X9-15's and have been using the X9-14 personally the last two months coming from an X1. The form factor is identical to the X1 which I love about it. After getting

I thought it was the opposite? The T14 is superior to the T14S? According to Lenovo specs, the T14S comes only with soldered memory; while the T14 comes with soldered memory plus an additional slot.Also, some T14 have the option of discreet NVidia GPU, which is not available in the T14S.

Look for refurbished/used Lenovo ThinkPads. I'd suggest, if your budget is tight, the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 2 or 3. Preferably AMD cpu (Ryzen 5). 16gb of RAM. 512gb SSD Storage. They're very reliable and often found under $400.
