ThinkPad T14 Gen 5

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

Would prob grab E14 to have the dual m.2 slots, and bigger battery. The feel of the T14 is pretty much the same to me between T14 and E14...ended up getting a deal for $530 on a t14g5 refurb from Lenovo Outlet with 135u, 16gb, and 512gb NVMe and threw in a 4tb 990 Pro. It's a great daily but dont th

It is noticanle but completely fine. During inference, the memory controller sweats a lot, its temperature rises to ~55Celsius. So it creates a single warm spot on the keyboard. I have Intel U (meteorlake). For the inference on iGpu, choose AMD primarily because of the kernel graphic driver. Intel's

Thanks for understanding where I'm coming from. All the thinkpad keyboards are great. I haven't come across a bad keyboard. I wish you could try a t14g5 or newer. The change is subtle but when you use it to long form write for more than 15 mins, you'll feel is a subtle but good change. The keys push

I upgraded to an AMD T14G5 from a T430. Got it used for like 750 USD. It only had 2 battery cycles on it :D

go for the t14g5 if budget permits

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

On maybe unnecessary background, and with apologies for longposting: I've had lots of ThinkPads and lots of Latitudes but the majority of my ThinkPad experience is from ~20 years ago and the majority of my Latitude experience is from the last ~10ish years. I had a bunch of new-and-used ThinkPads 200

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
