ThinkPad T14s Gen 6

Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 with Snapdragon has the craziest battery life of all ThinkPads. Over 20 hours.

Lunar Lake does well at idle or low load, when most processes run on the e-cores. Fire up the P-cores and things go downhill quickly. It's a decent chip when you're not doing much but the high price makes it less attractive for consumers and the low (nonexistent?) margin for Intel makes it bad for b

Go for the Snapdragon. I've got the T14s Gen 6 model and battery life is phenomenal even with the electron-guzzling 2.8k OLED screen. 15 hours is doable on my config whereas the IPS LCD model gets over 20 hours on most battery benchmarks. Performance is close to MacBook Pro M3 levels. If you want Ma

Unfortunately that's the problem with most Lunar Lake implementations. It needs high clocks and high power draw to have high performance but that's not possible most of the time. Lunar Lake gets good battery life at idle or near-idle but it gets there by being slower than Snapdragon X or AMD Ryzen.

Damn, thank you for this review, your post came in clutch and mentioned all the things that are relevant for me too! I actually bought a p14s with a glorious 3K screen, which has been absolutely fantastic. Buuut, i'll return it because of shitty battery life (talking of 2,5 hours of battery life on

It works on my T14s Snapdragon, LOL. I get something like 3% battery drain overnight in sleep mode. On AMD and Intel, YMMV. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-empire-strikes-back-with-21-hrs-of-battery-life-Lenovo-ThinkPad-T14s-Gen-6-laptop-review.1008078.0.html This is the only review out there th

T480 with internal graphics and 'low power' FHD screen. Those were the last mainstream models to have removal batteries, and you could get them with 96Wh in total (24 Wh internal+72Wh removable) . Getting one of these for $200-250 plus plan on having to replace the battery - OEM , that's expensive.

I gotta say, Lenovo's pricing is BS most of the time because there are crazy deals to be had all the time. I got a top spec 64 GB OLED T14s Snapdragon for a little over $1500. Talk to your Lenovo account manager to get these discounts. Even with OLED, I'm getting close to MacBook Air battery life, s

Maybe a T14s if you want very light weight, good performance and crazy long battery life. I've got a T14s Snapdragon X with 64 GB RAM, it handles Linux under WSL fine and it's good for the little bit of hobbyist C# that I do. If your .Net stuff can run cross-platform on x86 and ARM, try looking at a
