Which laptop (second hand) should i buy ?
There's no E14 with dGPU and certainly not with a RTX2000 Ada (workstation GPU). Look at the Intel PSREF and AMD PSREF. In this sub, we'll never recommend an Ideapad because those are consumer, way lower quality line, with cheaper materials. Having said that, if you intend to run VMs, get the one wi

ThinkPad E14 Gen 5 recurring hinge failure (3rd time in a year). Lenovo Support is claiming "Customer Induced Damage" (CID) despite an immaculate chassis.
Maybe you got the defective piece or something, I also have E14 gen 5 AMD. Got it in December 2024, along with 2 year warranty and ADP cover. I've abused it a lot, I am a student, travel daily in crowded bus to university, multiple times the bag has fallen with laptop in it from upper luggage rack o

E14 VS. T14
E14 G7 is the more modular, with dual internal NVMe drive support, and upgrade-able WiFi cards, but its metal topped plastic chassis, isn't as rugged as the T14, and its displays are poorer, especially the entry level 45% NTSC. T14, metal sub-frame with a reinforced composite chassis, and stronger h

Yeah, as a not-so-happy E-series owner, I have to agree. My E14 Gen7, which is my first ThinkPad, is four months old and despite being a Linux user, support keeps wanting me to do driver updates and checks in Windows to solve my crackling audio issues that happen regardless of what OS I'm using. The

Vadonatúj consumer laptop vs. felújitott enterprise laptop
Nekem talan e14 van, ryzen 7 5800u-val, ami eleg kellemes, hatranykent annyit tudnek megemliteni, hogy a Lenovo olyan szinten lockolta a 15 wattos TDP-t, hogy azt semmivel nem lehet fololdani.

What are the decent Thinkpad models these days? I've only ever bought T
Materials used (aluminum lid, plastic chassis), the internal structure, the keyboard is not easy replaceable etc. Originally all ThinkPads were (and still ARE) designed by the engineering team in Japan (hence the original bento-box style and a lot of things in original IBM ThinkPad came from Japan c

T14 G7 will be just a glorified E14 (opinion / rant)
It's not the E14 that has improved, more like how hard the T14 has degraded in rigidity and reliability in general. Lenovo is speedrunning the murder of ThinkPads. At this point, it would simply be much more economical to buy a ThinkBook, especially with how the ThinkBook 14+ 2026 has a 99.9Wh batte

Finally
Nice deal. I was in a similar situation. Has a Lenovo IdeaPad 5 14 but the keyboard is getting faulty after 2 times of replacement. So bought a thinkpad e14 gen 7. However the surprise for me is the ideapad 5 14 is having better build quality even after 5 years. Thinkpad slightly feels cheap.
