Lenovo T14's are going for 65% of the asking price of one of these, if you don't care about intel vs amd.
- cure 5y agoI have bought a few System76 laptops, though not this variant - I like to buy the ones that ship with coreboot. As for the price difference: you can buy the base model of the System76 and upgrade ram/disk yourself. This is harder to do on the Lenovo ones; it seems the T14 has (some of) the ram soldered on (ugh). But, it is nice to see that you can actually buy a T14 with Ubuntu preinstalled (if you are willing to wait 4+ months...), and they list it next to the (more expensive!) Windows version: https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpadt/thinkpad-t14-g1/22tpt14t4n1 https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpadt/th...
