ThinkPad T14s Gen 6

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

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

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) .

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

Since 10 years? I remember the X13s with the Snapdragon 8cx from 2018 or so. There were other Lenovos with Qualcomm 850 and 8cx chips before that. This Snapdragon X Elite ThinkPad came out in Q3 2024. I've had mine for almost a year and it's the closest to an Apple Silicon MacBook Pro that you can g

The Snapdragon X Plus would be the best if you want a cool, light and quiet laptop. I've got the X Elite chip with more cores on my T14s gen 6 and it runs hotter, but in Efficiency or Balanced mode the bottom panel is barely above ambient temperature. HWMonitor shows the CPU usually being 10° C abov
