I went from a T490 to a T14 gen 3 (Intel). Was a nice upgrade. The GPU sucks, which I don't need or care about, but the rest is fine. I got a NOS one for a reasonable amount of money.
The X1 looks nice but colleagues had thermal issues with theirs and the CPU is a bit limp so I skipped that particular problem.
- ezst 9mo agoYeah, it seems like the perfect device for me would be a X1 with current gen's AMD!
- vkazanov 9mo agoI wouldn't suggest going for a recent X1 as there are some driver issues on Linux. My current one is a Thinkpad 14s AMD. As somebody who had most smaller Thinkpads and Dells in the last 15 years, this is my favourite machine so far: great battery, a decent GPU, still a Thinkpad, perfect Linux support.
- dgxyz 9mo agoWhich generation is that T14s? I am in the market for a new one.
- vkazanov 9mo agoI bought whatever was recent in may 2025: Thinkpad 14s AMD 64GB. My collegue bought one a month ago so it seems to be the latest one still.
- kombine 9mo agoI have T14s Gen 3 AMD for almost 2 years now, Linux support is great and it's the best laptop I've ever owned. It wasn't the latest model at the time of purchase, I got it off Ebay sale.
- patapong 9mo agoI got the T14s Gen 4 AMD recently - very happy with it, great battery life, no notch and very fast.
