Why, is the Intel option sub-par? I just got the AMD version because my older laptop has NVIDIA hybrid graphics, which is a serious pain in the ass on Linux. I also wanted to play with Wayland. But why do you dislike the Intel version?
Would buy an AMD based T14s or T14 but they removed the rj45 connector from them and I won't pay that money for a childrens toy. For some reason, some intel models still have it. Why??
That is very strange. I wonder how that decision got made. But funnily enough, that is the exact reason I went for the T16 over the Z16, which was priced similarly during the sale I took advantage of for this. I could have swallowed the lack of USB-A ports, because docks are not that expensive where I live, but for fuck's sake. Give me rj45 or give me death.
Thanks. I'm already having so much fun. My older laptop has NVIDIA hybrid graphics, so I was actually a bit flabbergasted at how little I had to do to get Linux working properly on this thing.

As a proud owner of the Intel option, I sincerely glad that you have.
Also it hurts and I hate you

Mainly because of poor performance, especially in emulators

Ah, that's unfortunate. I haven't really had a chance to push this machine very much, so I can't say from experience whether it's really better.

I really want to reply to this post sincerely, but that other reply just takes the cake.

Could be worse, they could solder ram to the motherboard. Oh wait...

I believe the L series still has them. Also replaceable RAM.

I'm reading this jealously from an E16.

That’s awesome! I have a second gen l14 and it’s such a great machine. I’m sure the t16 is a whole other level.

Nice, I'm happy that you enjoy your machine. I hope it continues to bring you joy for years to come.

Ayy, I have a Ryzen 7 based T14 Gen2. Wonderful machine. Enjoy!

Thank you; I am enjoying it very much so far. It blows my 5-year-old Acer Nitro 5 out of the water. I hope you enjoy yours too.
