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

Notebooks disponíveis no Brasil
Vou ser brutalmente sincero contigo: não existe, ponto final. Eu passei uns 2 anos procurando um notebook “perfeito” com foco em reparabilidade ou, no mínimo, boa capacidade de upgrade, e também (se possível) com suporte tranquilo ao Linux. No Brasil, o que realmente aparece de opções viáveis se res

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

Need help choosing
ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 OLED New, that is about an $1,800 laptop. Paying a lot of money for a GPU that you'll never use outside of a weekend of smashing passwords.

Thinkpad E14 Gen 6 or 7?
I helped my dad set up a ThinkPad E14 Gen 6 (Intel) last year and it seems like a great system. These are internally flexible so if you need to upgrade ram later you'll be able to. (a year ago my advice would have been to buy the ram you think you'll need in 5 years. Looks like the Gen6 and Gen7 bot

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

We’re swapping out Chromebooks for Neos over the next few weeks
What was your thought process on picking this over the Lenovo Thinkpad E14 Gen 7 or E16 Gen 3? Lack of upgradable RAM was a big issue in our org

ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 14 listed officially as a coming soon model
Lenovo just keeps moving things around, not always the ones that actually need to be moved For example they could move stuff around and allow regular 2242 Nvme (not in WWAN) slot for SSD. Especially now when LPCAMM RAM in T14/P14s G7 takes less space than traditional pair of SODIMM. There has to be
