OMG, been waiting for this deal on a thinkpad!

I maxed out all specs for a total of 1160.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1...sp=sharing

That's 4k display, 5850U, 48gb ram, "backlit keyboard" WAN LTE card, and card reader!
Took the 128gb ssd, will be swapping for something better!

Make sure you choose the backlit keyboard, it's not obvious that it doesn't include it!

The difference between 32gb ram and 48gb ram was $130, all the 32gb ram modules on amazon were more than $130 so getting it from the factory is a better deal!
(edit found a better deal on ram module than paying lenovo for it).

I will be swapping out the SSD, I am going to put a Samsung 980 Pro 1TB in her!

12 months no interest payments! it's a deal man!

This is arguably the best deal for a Highspec Thinkpad I've seen since Black Friday!

btw make sure you go throu R10 for extra 8% cashback and enable your SD extension!

Ok...popular thread... but folks on this thread seem like Scrooge when it comes to giving reps. Big Grin

But its Christmas - so here is a hack to still get this deal from Santa...

I tried and worked - Ofcourse its YMMV

1. On the cart screen, convert the cart to a Quote, you should see the option at the bottom of the screen once signed in

2. Then go to the quote in your account. Convert the quote to a cart.

3. Checkout with the discounted price.

The quote won't work if you try to create it on the checkout screen.

Attached snapshot of a dummy order I made.

Merry Christmas! Smilie

Was going to get a mid-tier laptop for my kid but decided to spend a couple of hundreds more for this. I suppose a ThinkPad T can endure youngsters' abuse, LOL.

I still have two ThinkPads, one X201 from 10+ years ago and one T420 from 9+ years ago. They still work!
LOL dude if you're buying a laptop for your kids make sure it has a GPU else you're just buying a word processor

I bought this with the 48gb ram yesterday.. leaving a mid 2015 MacBook Pro with 16gb ram.. will this laptop suffice for photoshop, indesign, and some DAW softwares for podcasting?

Very strange spec. 32GB RAM with only 128GB disk seems very odd. I don't see many uses cases where this makes sense.
You are supposed to buy your own ssd and plug it in. You can get a 2tb ssd for under 200 bucks.

I'm trying to find both slim and powerful. X1 Carbon also comes with similar configuration as T14 but with Intel processor. Waiting to get a similar deal on X1 Carbon.
It was around $1250 during BF with i7, 32GB RAM and 500 nits screen.

I'm going mainly by what redditors say, as I've been researching heavily for the last month. I had a chance between T15 vs T15s, and beyond portability everyone agreed the T15 was a better machine. And you are correct the heating seems to be a big sticking point "runs very hot and 90°C while gaming isn't unusual". As T14 has 2 pipes and 14s has 1. T14s has very powerful processor with inadequate cooling - even after thermo paste etc. Couple that with soldered parts if 1 thing goes wrong down the road there is no way to fix it.
I think 14s is more expensive due to light weight, not quality (compared to T14). They packed a lot into that machine into it.
Anyways can't really go wrong with any of them, but imo and my anecdotal research the winner is T14.


Yes, except the T15 supposedly cools slightly better. I just got a T15. I'd been researching for approx a month. I really wanted a P15, but T15 is 11th gen so better.
Nice! I am really looking forward to this machine, I have seem to amassed a bit of a laptop collection, and I am what you would call a "snob" when it comes to high-end specs, anything less than a 1080p Non-IPS screen to me is garbage.

It's nice to see that what I suspected about the 14 vs 14s is true! while thinner isn't always better, thinner makes more sense mid-range as you mentioned the cooling isn't up to spec on the 14s vs the 14. This makes sense they likely designed it with the mid-range in mind since that's the model they'd likely sell the most of.

The extra space that the standard 14 affords it seems to make have been beneficial cooling wise as you mentioned. I feel like the standard 14 is likely what more Businesses would opt for as a thinner laptop equals more user broken machines at the cost of their IT dept.

Glad I went with the 14, I'm not afraid of a bit of girth lol, I own 3 high-end gaming laptops as well!

laugh out loud Ideapads and Thinkpads are completely different.

Ideapad was Lenovo's own line, not a continuation of the IBM business. The quality is not the old-school IBM level, but still the best out there in the market today.

Ideapads are also good, but a bit of cointoss.. have seen ideapads last long as well.
Nah, Think and Idea are pretty much the same thing. In order to have an Idea, you need to Think.

Hence, Think = Idea Smilie

Only 1080p? ... in 2021 anything less than QHD is an eyesore!

Lol depends on the size screen. I'm okay with 14"@ fhd. 15 then qhd for sure! My 2020 HP omen 15 that came with a Samsung OLED 4k panel is still the high watermark to beat for me.

It's funny that OLED the contrast between the white pixels and black pixels are so bright that it bleeds out a bit. But the color and saturation you have to see in person!

I wished this Lenovo Thinkpad 14 4k panel was OLED, that would be the icing on the cake.

I have this laptop. It doesn't have Thunderbolt, just USB c. How can I use 2 monitors with it, or do I have to have Thunderbolt? Great laptop.
I don't believe you have this laptop, or you would know those USB-C ports are Thunderbolt4.

I know... I was just about to buy it at this moment too. I'm pretty bummed out now because this is actually a good deal. Oh well maybe a better laptop will be coming my way...

Bad brand. Both my lightly used Lenovo yoga laptops died just past the 1 year mark. They'd start to power on but the screen wouldn't turn on. I replaced the battery, power button switch, etc., to no avail. I realize this is a different model, but still a shitty brand.
I have a 2012 era T530 i7 with 16GB of RAM that is still going strong other than the battery. The ThinkPad T series are legit. I want to finally replace mine with this but I know I don't need it.
