ThinkPad T14 Gen 5

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

Exactly. Cooling system of T14 isn't sufficient for full utilization of those powerful H processors if one needs prolongued heavy duties. So I would expect throttling, noise. Either to choose P14s with H processor or T14 with 355 - my t14g5 with 165u still manages lots of prograns at once.

I beg the question; Why wouldn't someone start with a T16 instead? I get price, but the hassle is quite a bit much, especially when certain parts may or may not be available from other vendors, forcing you to go through Lenovo. Also, how does the T14 Gen 5 AMD not work with the numpad, but work at t

Are you telling me that your university has no computer rooms with proper workstations for mechanical engineering software? If yes, go to another university if possible. As others have said, the T14G5 will work fine for smaller stuff, it will lack performance for larger projects that include multi b

I bought my T14 gen 5 with almost similar specs but 512SSD from Lenovo outlet store for about 520$. So it is definitely not a deal. You can find much better deals every Wednesday early morning on outlet store.

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

Horrible price, I bought p14s gen 5 AMD with 8840hs, 32GB ram, 1Tb SSD, 100% srgb screen (same as T14 Gen 5 AMD) for 709 USD brand new on lenovo us website. Plus some expenses to ship from US. That was in December 2024, before the AI craze, but still. T14 Gen 2 should be costing not more that 250-28

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

Could you show some pictures of the glass touchpad and confirm that it fits properly? Maybe a model number too? I was looking for a glass touchpad for my T14G5 AMD for ages but the G5/6 touchpads look vastly different from the back. Edit: just read about the size difference. What a bummer. I miss gl

Glad to read that :) Btw notebookcheck reported coil whine on T14g5 8840u. I guess you don't experience that, hopefully.
