Which Lenovo ThinkPad Is The One For You? 

I've been searching for this type of video for a week now. Glad I came across this one!

Same position

RU-vid AI read your mind!

Look at me watching and enjoying these kinds of videos on a Lenovo Thinkpad T420 😭

Heyy is it suitable for coding?

what country is that/

what is the battery like throughout a normal day of use at uni?

Gen what?

After 25 years on Windows, I switched to Mac (equipped with Apple Silicone M2 processors) and i will NEVER went back to Windows PC computers. Everything about Apple is a thousand times more stable, ergonomic, efficient, secure, all their screens are incredibly beautiful, these computers are luxury items are, the difference with PCs is indescribable, they clearly dominate for me in all aspects, except of the video game. I had already had an idea of ​​it when I acquired an iPhone, that's when everything was revealed to me.

​@@paulwoaert...

​@@lionelmessithegoatLM10 poor person confirmed

How about T490? i5 8thgen??

in all HP EliteBOOK as well ;) When you get used to it, you can't do without it.

Did the laptop deliver as expected?

How's been the experience?

They haven't sold those keyboards for like 8 years. The new one is fine. Its not like the Apple Butterfly keyboard which was a total disaster.

I think it's the opposite. Because it's so durable and well built, people assume everything is metal and handle it as if it cannot break. The only laptop's hinges I've ever seen that don't break with time on its own and still work are from Thinkpad. Don't f with it and it should last longer than your spine.

I wouldn't want to spend $2500 on a laptop end up with hinge designed problem which Lenovo is aware. $2500 can get me a better laptop.

I have used Thinkpad W series for over 9 years and never faced an issue. It sustained two drops. One with the USB plugged in and bending thrle USB ports aswell. Not sure about carbon but for other ones i can assure thinkpad wont fail

I’m currently in the market for a laptop bc my old cheap HP laptop hinge broke and it’s not worth fixing. I was shopping for thinkpads bc I heard they were rugged and durable, is this true? I don’t abuse my stuff, I just want one well built and sturdy

@@jon3296 dont hesitate just buy it.

L470

You can probably repair the hinges. Not sure what you did to break them...

I own a T480 since 2019, use it daily from morning to evening. It runs almost constantly and it still works as well as day 1. I don't carry it around though.

From my experiences (dealing with L-15 (gen1&2), X-13(Gen1 and2), L580,L590 i can assure you that hinges are rock solid. But do yourself a favor : pay attention to the screen when you configure your Thinkpad : by default on budget series (L serie for example) is 250 nits : sufficient to work indoors but outdoors it can be troublesome (though mat screen helps a lot). Standards philips screws on all model (annoying plastic clips though, but heh... ) Look for sales on T/P series. In EU some days ago there was an insane sale on P14s with Ryzen Pro series.

Quite the steal!

P-340 are sturdy : I have a P-340 working 24/24 7/7 to drive a specific, vital application in a very dusty environment with careless people. After one year it's still in perfect condition. Good desktop unit for real.

@@david-6110 thank you for your reply!

These days, the new generation has some great stuff!

In X1 series: carbon, nano yoga: which one to buy?

@@anilauece Carbon because it usually has more ports. CPU is usually the same among the 3.

It would surely serve you well.

Thanks for watching!

@@MartinJones123 highly agree, suddenly keyboard software, battery, ssd got problems..not recommend

Do not concur. Have had not a single quality issue on probably 10 thinkpads over more than 10 years. I suspect user error/ cluelessness.

@@ironmantooltime Exactly.

i have the t14. had to replace the ssd because of DOA. looks like most things are replaceable. at least im comparison to most modern laptops

How about the L14 G4?

@@Terafied thanks for the suggestion. After being stuck between the t14, t16, ended up ordering a refurb t480. 1tb ssd nvme, 32gb ram, i7, win 11 pro for $700.

Well, the "new" one has overheating issues (CPU is running hot), probably just need to update the CPU fan and re-do the thermal paste, but that will void the warranty on the refurb. So I'll be replacing the t480 and looking for something new instead.

​@@moneytrends5231i7 is much hotter than i5 in t480. You can do dual heat pipe mod though.

Most of the recent version of the mention laptops do come with windows 11 but if they don't they should be upgradeable.

Lenovo yoga

Ahahah! Would’ve been cool!

Your battery life is lower on the newer models? Newer laptops should have astoundingly better battery. My P15 Gen 2 with FHD gets up to about 13 hours on a very light load just like my T15 Gen 2. My P17 Gen 2 gets around half of that but has a 4k screen. I get the P and T series which are the most robust and easy to service. There are so many that it's best to review different models thoroughly to be sure you're getting what's ideal to you. I remember back when laptops a decade or more ago got like one hour unplugged if you were lucky and it was designed for performance. I've had tons of laptops from a variety of brands cheap and expensive and haven't had them breaking all over the place. People should be sure they care for their laptops and secure them properly in a bag. Not having drinks around them when open isn't a bad idea either. Good luck.

I work in IT for a large company, and I agree the TouchPad is disappointing half the time. The screen rarely has those issues, but there is a bad batch once in a while. Just make sure you get a good 2 year warranty when buying Lenovo ThinkPads.

We have about 4000 thinkpads deployed (mostly L580,590, L15-Gen1 and 2, X13 (gen1 and 2), so far I'm impressed. Very sturdy (and believe me our users are not kind with their laptops. TBH, New lineup keyboards are not as good as previous one, but still --my taste-- the best keyboards when compared to HP EliteBOOK and Dell. Though in pro laptops world Keyboard are all excellent.

it's so dangerous & trash to use windows on a mac man rethink your choice.

Actually good you gave it back, i have the p14s gen 1 AMD and jesus soo many issues, wonky touchpad after sleep/suspend, sometimes touchpad does not outright work on certain boots, including in the bios, i need a proper power down cycle for it to work Even a touchpad replacement did not do it Also had to get the keyboard replacement cause some of the key stopped working And usb ports were a bit wonky where the ports were having connection problems with my wired headset on p14s but worked fine on dell vostro, again tried replacement but not much difference Now the charging port and the sleep indicator led on the logo stopped working, and getting a motherboard replacement this week And all that within a span of 10 months of using the device

@@alanhaider1321 it’s dangerous and trash??? Lmao what

Thank you!

x1 carbon is best

you buy from a seller

Ahhh, good to know!

Oh! Definitely something we didn’t think of, but yet it all makes sense!

Hi there :) you can check this out. Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 20XW008TPH , Lenovo ThinkPad X200 and Lenovo ThinkPad T540p-20BFA0AVPB

@@Terafied The T540 is equipped with a optical drive but does it get bent?

How is it so far?

When in April?

@@slodoco I mean I'm NOT the CEO of Lenovo.

Ugh....Intel.

Refurbished Thinkpad T400 series. T420, T430, T440. Ebay, great prices

Which one? I have L480 as my working laptop and I am not so thrilled with the build quality and its keyboard. What is nice that it has smartcard reader. Maybe newer are better built.

@@Mladenac I have an T580 currently and I wasn’t impressed with the keyboard as well. I ordered a new CTO E15 Gen 4 straight from Lenovo and it should arrive later this week. I’ll try and update you after it get it setup.

@@ParoxyDM My coworker got E14 (maybe gen 2) and its keyboards was flawless

@@Mladenac Don't get me wrong, the keyboard is acceptable and functional. But it's not *great* like we expected from Lenovo 5-or-so years ago.

@@ParoxyDM I got IBM R40, Lenovo T410, Lenovo L480 and X1 Gen 7. Comparing to L480 keyboard on E14 Gen 2 is flawless. As I wrote I find L480 a bit to stiff. I am pretty satisfied with mine on X1.

You don't need the spare battery thing, just use a usb charger. The old keyboards are also very clunky and increasingly a niche interest. The clicklit (whatever that means) keyboards are still good and better than market.

Just love my t480 and 2 batteries. Love swapping removable battery for fully charge one

No, get those, specifically a T430 with a 420 keyboard and 440 display

That's the one that I'm using right now!

If only…

In my case, I am a software developer and right now I am working in the banking sector, for standards I have to bought a laptop with windows 10 pro :/

lots of reason, upgradebility, stupid ssd soldered, hard or even imposible to self repair, lack if port, most importanly dont want to help company that don't care or contribute to the people, every things has price, fuck that shit

@@itaamelia6715 Buy the Mac from the start with the level you need (memory, processor, number of ports, etc.), you won't need to replace anything afterwards. As for the question of “repair”, Macs are almost indestructible, the problem arises very rarely. The price is higher but you then no longer spend the years that follow: with Windows, you are stuck with software to buy, additional memory to install and pay for, repairs to do, often requiring you to have to reformat and reinstall ). With Apple, the next versions of the operating system will be completely free for many years (!), which is not at all the case with Windows which is also the victim of numerous bugs (I have been on Windows for almost 25 years, I know what I'm talking about!). Windows is also the target of many viruses, therefore requiring the purchase of security software and the constant installation and purchase of applications from 36,000 companies without end. In a new generation Mac, all the necessary applications are already inside (nothing to pay for or install) and they are ultra-efficient, I witness it every day. Macs, especially since the Apple Silicone revolution of 2020 finally freed from Intel (so: ALL M1 or M2 Macs, that is to say these computers whose everything inside has been created and designed exclusively by Apple: memory , processor, sound, etc.) heat up PRACTICALLY NOT AT ALL: this is also the main and most essential revolution, which explains why a simple ultra-flat Mac Book Air without ANY FAN will heat up very little and most of the time not at all, because Apple chips hardly heat up: Windows laptops, on the contrary, require immense ventilation AND CAUSE A LOT OF NOISE, and bring in dust. For the rest, EVERYTHING at Apple is superior: screen, image definition (1 billion colors), quality of materials, construction and design of the perfectly integrated processor and memory, keyboard feel, battery life, charging with Magsafe ( so practical!), Touch ID for all uses and absolutely flawless, set of high-end software already included, weight of the computer and its duration over time, incomparable design (the bad aesthetic taste of so many PCs!), ergonomics, the perfect transparency of the Apple ecosystem (for example from the iPhone to the computer), the phenomenal loading speed of the operating system, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

@danielhalachev4714 I don't know what generation of iPhone your iPhone was, but the scenario you describe has not existed since at least iPhone 10 (we are now at iPhone 15). For Macs, if your computer was before 2020 (i.e. 2019 and earlier) this may be the reason, because since 2020, i.e. since Apple decided to design and produce its processors, memory, card itself -mother, etc., so by FINALLY getting rid of its dependence on Intel and producing real bombs of incomparable performance at all levels, the communication between Apple devices is phenomenally transparent.

@danielhalachev4714 If you own the Mac from the start with the level you need (memory, processor, number of ports, etc.), you won't have to replace anything later. As for the question of “repair”, Macs being almost indestructible, the problem arises very rarely.

get the t480, one of the best ones they have ever made

@@Zeroneii3 unfortunately Lenovo do not sell T480 any more.

@@train_xc it goes got 280$ refurbished amazing deal

This Please

I use a T15 Gen 2 for the reasons you described. Easy to carry around, but has a numpad, micro sd card slot, ethernet port, and the 1.8mm keyboard travel with the backlight. If you use Ebay you can find one cheap for around $700 certified refurbished. The P series is the mobile workstation. I have a T-15 gen 2 and T17 gen 2 with a graphics card and they're great. Got them like new for $1229 and $1499 respectively.

Look into Lenovo ThinkPad T16. With an i7 11th gen CPU or better, it should meet most of your laptop 💻 needs.

If you want a true "Workstation", look into HP Zbook.

@@akin242002 I had an HP ZBook X2. It was a great workstation as well for artwork. They don't make that series anymore though. The Lenovo P series is the workstation series for Lenovo. I have a P17 Gen 2 and it's a beast with a RTX A-series graphics card. People use them a lot for heavy rendering and processing work. I have a P15 Gen 2 as well for more on the go use with a 1080P high nit screen and it has around 14 hour battery life. That's the series to pick if you want heavy duty work done. The T series is thinner and more portable and also good.
