ThinkPad T14 Gen 5

I optimized my intel 165U quite well for battery on linux. Wifi browsing for maybe 8 hours. Despite that I would recommend amd ryzen. Mightbe battery would be worse a small bit or two bits, but other than that it is more mature chip for overall real tasks. And more energy efficient for longer lastin

I guess that's a good option, but my only concern is IdeaPads usually have a crap build quality. How about this one? It's a ThinkPad T14 Gen 5, it's used, from 2024. It should be good enough for app development if you are just starting, build quality is superior AND it's easy to take apart (even Len

In this particular model, the OLED display eats battery like there's no tomorrow. You will get like up to 3 hours of battery life, compared to around 6 for the IPS panel. That runtime is with low/moderate use. On reviews you can see up to 12 hours or so (IPS display), but on idle. Also, getting the

Build quality of Lenovo isn't as great as it once wise. I had a T14 gen 5 and it felt cheap and had issues with the touchpad. Opted for the X1carbon with a dedicated fingerprint sensor, much better. Also no errors with the trackpad. But all at added cost. It addition, win 11 is absolutely garbage an

It's one of the best units that soldered ram haters like me could get until the T14 Gen 5 starts getting dumped by companies and approach T480 cheap status, though the T14G5 has a soldered wifi card. Ordinary people may not care but few of us do, even if soldered ram screwing up (mobo replacement) i

Good luck. Maybe AMD version of same T14G5 is more performing, as everybody tells.But Intel is still performing enough for me even if tied by tlp. AMD users sometimes mention coil whine which I didn't want to risk.

Found one for about 1,300 dollars. I'll buy it when there's a chance for me to mod it with a better screen. Because 268v with a 120 hz would definitely go better. I am not a huge OLED fan, an IPS would go just as well for me. The only problem is the compatibility issues that Lenovo firmware has as f

For me, in comparing between T480 and T14G2 I’ll choose T14G2. But if comparing with T490 or T14G1 I’ll choose T480. Next leap in processer technology is T14G5.

I have this laptop, originally purchased with the lousy screen. A month ago, I bought the OLED panel assembly from Lenovo and upgraded it. I love it now, but had to set the screen to 60hz to save battery life. IMO, the battery life on this model has always been lousy, and the OLED definitely uses mo

I have a Lenovo T14 Gen 5 with a Ryzen 7 8840U with 780M Graphics. I run Debian 13. I have Davinci Resolve Studio 20 running there. I did have to install the mROC drivers (I think that was the name, it's been a while) so that Resolve would detect the video card, which it does. That's my travel machi
