Why Thinkpad users complains about E Series? I am having a excellent experience with e14 gen5 AMD

As the title said: "Why Thinkpad users complains about the E Series? " I have been using a customized e14 gen5 AMD 7730u with amazing results.

Ryzen 7730u and able to achieve 25-30w with sustained loads.
8gb soldered but added another 32gb for a total of 40gb of RAM.
NVMe 512gb with another empty m2 slot available
Keyboard feels great, as any other 2023-2024 thinkpad keyboard, with good backlight.
Touchpad is good enough
Screen is 1920x1200 300nits matte display, 45% NTSC but it is Ok for software development.
Everything 100% working with Linux Mint 21.3 with Mainline kernel 6.6
All aluminium body
Narrow bezels
No Lenovo Vantage "intelligent cooling". Energy profiles works with window 11 energy management and same with Linux Mint.
1080p Webcam which is good enough for Google Meets, Zoom, Slack.
5 hours of continuous real working with battery. Easily 7 hours for basic task
Fan noise is really low (even in high loads).
Was able to install Ryzen controller and adjust TDP very easily to reduce even further fan noise (not really necessary but it works).

Paid around USD 760 with the big battery. So overall the experience have been amazing for that price, for me this is a true Thinkpad model. No regrets at all in fact I will keep and eye on next e14 gen 6 model for this year.

Z13 Gen2 USB4 Display out?

Hey folks,

I have decided on getting a Z13 Gen2 with 7840 and am wondering, whether it will support my 3k100hz external Monitor. It says 8k30 is supported, so 3k100 should work, surely, right?

Thanks!

W520 Keyboard Not Fitting

Hey, I had replaced the keyboard and noticed when I was putting it back that it wasn't lining up with the bezels at the bottom, I moved the wiring near the heatsink a little bit and it lined up a little bit better, but it's still visible. Any advice? Thanks.

T480 trackpad out of place

I bought a used t480 off Amazon a while back. Today the trackpad decided to crap out. It sticks out from one side and only functions for left clicks as the right click does not even press down! How do I fix this?

X1 Carbon G12 OLED or the latest 14s OLED?

Anyone know of any reviews directly comparing the X1C G12 OLED with the latest 14s with AMD + OLED. I seem to recall, that the G11 still beat the 14s in battery tests for "typical usage" but not under heavy load. When I have my laptop on battery, I think it is very rare I have it heavily loaded. Been waiting on notebookreview but I think it will be a few months

Or maybe someone in the sub is switching from the latest 14s to the X1C G12?. maybe not

What do you use to scroll?

Two finger scrolling? Edge scrolling? Trackpoint maybe?

Most of the time, I use edge scrolling but I use a toggle keybind to make edges cover the entire trackpad (if that makes sense)

Second 16GB ram stick not working on x270, am I the unluckiest guy, or is the market full of fake hardware, or is there something I don't understand?

I got a x270 (i5 7th gen) for a good price with 8gb, my goal was to upgrade it to 16gb.
And so far I couldn't even get a 16gb ram stick that could even work..
I tried this one:
https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B07CMFBQRG/
and this one:
https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B019FRBHZ0/


I have a hard time believing I could have had two faulty ram sticks from two different manufacturers in a row. Did anyone have issues with upgrading a x270 too here? Google does not seem to come up with anything weird.

Regretting a purchase of T14

I I`ve been wanting a faster laptop for a while, i have had a Dell 5480 with 6300u, SSD and 8GB ram for several years, even yesterday purchased another 8GB module (which should have been the start lol).

My usage case is slight browsing, occasional Plex server to TV, some small Excel tables. The added ram certainly helped, but still the dual-core creates hickups. I pretty much never move the laptop and its fed by usb-c 4k monitor, I even dont open the lid more than turning the laptop off or on. I actually started to consider newer laptop, because HD 520 with 6300u certainly feels much slower than it was with dual fullhd monitors.

A week ago I pulled the trigger and purchased fully loaded Thinkpad T14 gen 1 with AMD in mint condition, even upgraded ram to 32gb (who in their right mind in Lenovo decided that 16gb single channel is a way to go?!)

I paid like 500 bucks for this.

​

After first experience I was really impressed how fast everything was, and now I just cannot overcome the thought, that I leaped too far and should have still bought more heavily used T480s with 8th series Intel cpu instead.

I had a similar work laptop a while back and I did not see any slowdowns with 8th series either. I get that this Ryzen cpu also has better integrated graphics, but what is the point of BETTER integrated graphics anyway (you still need to turn every setting down to mud, meaning you could play maybe a newer titles than comparing to UHD 620). As i only do light browsing with it and have dedicated gaming machine.

Maybe its just me and I`m picky, but I don`t see much of an appeal playing games on a 4k monitor at 720p res at low settings.

​

Im not sure where I´m going with this, just a rant maybe, the amount I paid for this is in large scale not relevant for me, rather the principle, that I don`t like a feeling if i`m not fully utilizing something i have.

I could imagine that for example 8250u could still be very ok CPU for 5 more years. And if I really needed something faster by then, I could pick up maybe a used 12th series Intel for 200 bucks by then.

​

Or just continue with 6th series, as small hickups here and there are probably not a topic for most people...

I think I just bought a brand new X1 Carbon Gen 7 from Amazon for $350

I currently have a Macbook M1 Pro which is great, but I'm way more productive on a windows machine for coding and doing actual work. I decided to buy a older X1 Carbon and have both, also because I love thinkpads.

​

After scouring the web and getting close to buying a Refurbished one from Amazon, I found one on the Lenovo Store on Amazon and it appears to be...brand new? Nothing on the description page indicates that it is used or refurbished, which is strange considering how old it is. It is also showing as currently unavailable because I'm assuming I bought the only one they had listed.

​

I'm posting this to brag, share my excitement, and also in hopes of helping someone else out that is looking for a Thinkpad, this might be a good place to check.

T480 type c broken.

I bought a t480 for 150€ with one of the type c ports being broken. The one that isnt used for docking.
The specs of the laptop are:
I5 8350u
2x8gb ddr4
256gb m.2
36wh of real life battery capacity
1080p Touchscreen,
Fingerprint, face recognition.
I wanted to firstly know if i got a good deal (EU).
And also is the type c a doable fix and a fix that is worth it considering the impressive io and the cheap price of type c docks and even lenovo docks.
Also on a seperate note i tried to run some games on it and found that fortnite kept crashing eventhough Performance was more than acceptible and it also told me to upgrade gpu drivers which i couldn't find new ones for the igup.
