ThinkPad T14s

The thing is it doesn't have a better cooling system than the T14s (note the s). The T14s Gen 6 is like 90% of the X1C Gen 13 at 3/4 of the price, with a lot more CPU and screen options too. I appreciate the engineering behind the X1C idea but a lot of those innovations are trickling down to lesser

Looks like the touch version has 45% NTSC or 100% srgb color gamut options. If it's the latter, jump on it. If it is the former, you still should be fine if you're predominantly going to use it docked. Note: Page 5 and 6 in the below document gives you display options. https://psref.lenovo.com/syspo

Both of those are excellent ultraportables with more than enough power for web work and light CAD. The Latitude 7430's i7‑1265U + DDR4 combo is very efficient and tends to have quieter fans and longer battery life, while the T14s Gen 3's Ryzen 5 Pro 6650U + DDR5 offers stronger integrated graphics (

tl;dr: 16 or more GB RAM model of X13 (13.3 inch) or T14s (14 inch) gen1 AMD would be the closest one that meet your criteria. Also are there any other Thinkpads similar to the x1, maybe ones that are a little cheaper X13 (Intel/ AMD) or T14s (Intel/ AMD) series were made of either aluminium or magn

The T14s Gen 6 Snapdragon has incredible battery life compared to Intel and AMD models. I'm getting 15 hours on a small 58 Wh battery and that's with the power hogging 2.8 OLED screen. The 2.8k OLED panel options are the best screens in Lenovo's lineup but they're not very efficient.

I have deployed around 180 T14s with the 2.8k OLED (Gen4 AMD, Gen6 LNL) - and so far, no complaints regarding text quality. Lenovo markets these towards enterprise customers with text-heavy use cases, so they can ill afford to compromise there. But your experience may differ - OLEDs do have an inher

You can check out high-quality business laptops in excellent condition with some warranty, such as this Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 2 for ca. 475 usd. It has CPU Intel Core i7-1185G7, 32GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 14-inch IPS FHD display, and Windows 11 Pro.

Specific to eBay they have approved dealers that sell refurbished laptops with usually a 12 month warranty, serviced by the dealer but backed by eBay. This is in addition to other dealers and private sellers who operate outside of that scheme. Countries may differ, but similar to eBay, Amazon have t

I'd wait for Gen13 with Intels Lunar Lake chips (226/256/258/268 V) going down in price/appearing in sales. As Lenovo traditionally announces new models around the end of the year chances are good that things get moving around Black Friday. If you are in the US, check the Outlet, too: This one strik

I've had a Carbon X1 Gen6 since 2018 and it has been such a nice machine. I've replaced the battery twice and SSD once. The HDR screen is beautiful. I'm really struggling to figure out what will replace it when I finally decide it's not cutting it anymore. I am mostly a sysadmin, but I do build some
