Is Framework laptops worth the premium? Developer looking for a new laptop

Just to give you another option: I bought a Lenovo Thinkpad E14 with Intel 255h CPU. This cpu might be better than the Ryzen and has a better gpu on top. Max RAM (not soldered) is 64gb. The Screen is my highlight so far. It has about 6-10 hours of battery depending on the workload. I never had any i

Is ThinkPad E14 Gen 6 the right choice for a Finance major through 2030-2032?

E14s and E16s are what excel warriors who only commute between docking stations in office and home office are issued these days. Those are the right tool for the job. T- and P- series do have expensive chassis materials that E-series lack, but unnecessary if it's leading the docked life where it won

I need help choosing my first Thinkpad for 2026

P.S. I am tech savvy, really like to tinker around with upgrades and what not, that’s why I’m pondering on the 14s since it has limited upgradability. Despite that, you do get a taller 16:10 display, decently robust chassis (lower half is all magnesium, instead of PPS/CFK), the most powerful iGPU he

ThinkPad better than Latitude or EliteBook?

Linux compatibility? Equal on all 3 generally. Hinges that break less? Equal on all 3. Easier to service? Lenovo wins this. Easy to find HMM for almost every business model, while HP and Dell has them, much harder to find. Lighter weight? Thinner? Depends on the exact models you're comparing. X1C vs

After one year with my T480 as my daily, it’s time to move on.

Here, The T480(s) generation was replaced with T14(s) Gen3 AMD. Drastically improved CPU/iGPU performance (6th gen Ryzen7 has 8 cores, iGPU faster than dGPU on T480), first gen that reverted to 16:10 displays again. Real-world battery life when new was around nine hours with the WUXGA screen, quiet

My E14 Gen 6 after almost a year

From Gen 5 forward, you get - 16:10 display, and noticeably improved build quality. AMD models are particularly powerful, but even G5 uses Intel 13th Gen chipsets, with capable Iris Xe Graphics when run with dual channel RAM. G5 8GB + 1 open RAM slot (40GB max), G6/G7 2 open RAM slots (64GB max). Al

Recommendation for ThinkPad with 2 NVMe + 780M iGPU

E14 Gen7 and E16 Gen3 (14" and 16" editions of largely the same system) are both available with Ryzen7 250 / 780M iGPUs and have two NVME slots. I can wholeheartedly recommend those. Quality has improved dramatically over earlier generations, price point is good, this generation of AMD CPU/iGPU is p
