I believe the Thinkpad T14 Gen 7 is a worthy successor to the T480.
Precisely this! When I ordered my T14G5 it was around $4000 with the options selected. Granted I'm still using it for the foreseeable future, I made a configuration with the major options I "need" (Ultra 7, OLED, 64GB Ram) and it clocked just under $5100 Canadian. I'll wait until I can get it discou

Are t480 really this good?
The advantage of the T480 vs the 14 inch models coming after it is the external battery and the two SODIMM slots. Two SODIMM slots will make a brief re-appearance in the T14 Gen 5 / P14s Gen 5, some T14 Gen 6 has them as well and that's it (but of course the LPCAMM2 slot in the Gen 7 is far superior

Suggestions on buying used laptop from Ebay
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

ThinkPad T14 (Ultra 5 238V, 32GB soldered) worth it long-term?
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

T14 Gen 5 (Intel) 32 or 64 GB RAM?
I have pretty same: t14g5 i 165u 64gb, I barely got 20 gb ram usage during sbt compilation. Go for 32. If 64 will be needed, you can upgrade later. Moreover RAM in t14g5 isn't speedy if coming from Lenovo. If 64gb is needed, buy as small stock ram from Lenovo and upgrade ypurself to 64gb of low late

I bought a T480. Any advice on what I should do before using it?
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

Does T14s look and perform more "amateurish" than T14
Ive had some (arrow down, left shift, left alt, "P", "A", "M") failed permanently within a week and some other keys failing randomly. While it's easy to replace a keyboard on a normal ThinkPads - on a "S" series it's a nightmare. Well, i feel that the T14G5 speakers are better than on t14sg3 (howeve

New T14 gen 6!
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

Make elitebook look like a ThinkPad?
I'd love to if ThinkPad didn't drop the ball on repairability and Linux compatibility for the last few generations. It feels wrong to buy a lower performing Intel t14g5 that's slower than the amd variant for the same money simply because of the poor decision to use Qualcomm. The elitebook is unfortu

What is the best thinkpad for daily use?
For my daily use i own T14 gen 5 (AMD). My GF got E14 gen 7 (Intel) and i must say I am surprised how good the E14 is. The only really noticeable differences in favour of T14g5 are: keyboard (backlighting and replacability) screen (a little bit better) Otherwise the E14g7 is much better in many ways
