The real ThinkPad T480 successor: New ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 is iFixit approved
Lenovo is doing a reversal when it comes to the repairability of its ThinkPad T series: The new Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 features two SO-DIMMs and a user-replaceable internal battery. To prove its progress in modularity, the Chinese manufacturer had it reviewed by iFixit - the new ThinkPad laptop scored a near perfect 9.3/10.
That the picture shows windows 11 and microsoft copilot is just anti advertising, driving more people away from that laptop.
Oh look, they put the Ctrl and Fn keys the right way around this time.
Ewww
Well I look forward to seeing the result. Quite frankly the t14s we have is stupid, the easily replaceable keyboard of the t460 days are long gone, and the WiFi card that has failed 3 times already within my company is glued to the mobo. Anything that lets me do a quick repair myself instead of having to phone a call centre and book a technician will be highly appreciated.
At least there will be a somewhat usable laptop to upgrade to when my T480 falls apart. Too bad they went for a small, internal battery. I really like having a big, hot swapable battery that lasts all day. I don't see any mention of an SD card slot either.
why is the battery internal ffs
Because external batteries take up precious space to attach. Internal ones can just sit there with maybe a few screws.
yeah, but the t480 isn't too thick and it had external batteries
I feel like we're just making laptops thin for the sake of it which I don't like
wtf happened to the camera and the keyboard :(
T14s still has a bigger battery than the thicc T14
Why Lenovo why? Please give me the full 100 watt hours in a relatively small laptop again.
Looking forward to this
