Folks,
This is a super light laptop at around 2lbs. This is the reason for the premium pricing. If that doesn't matter to you, then there are much better deals out there. Any comments on this laptop or comparison with another laptop should have that in mind.

Looks like they lowered the price by another $20. I picked one up at 779. I love it. Good battery life, solid keyboard, ultra light, no issues so far. Screen gets pretty bright too. Antonline delivered fast, I want to say 2 business days.
Also, in before all of the "but this can't even game!" Comments. This is a SUPER light business laptop with more than eough power for most all business applications. Using mine for grad school to not add much of any more weight to my bag.
edit: thought I'd throw in my minor complaints: it's a fingerprint magnet for sure. But a quick wipedown with a cloth and it's fine. The materials are slightly soft(? if that's the right word to use) but feel super solid at the same time. Only other 'downside' (but I'm used to it from owning ThinkPads) is the Fn and Ctrl keys are swapped - but those can be easily swapped back in BIOS.
i bought it last time.
very solid machine, very light and great for traveling. it felt as if nothing is there, battery life is also pretty good.
that said, this machine only came with usb c ports, which i believe is a first for thinkpads? the SSD is also a 2242 size, it is unlikely you have one available. you could find 1T or 2T 2242 SSD but they cost more than 2280. it does take two sided nvme.
Picked up one of these on the last deal and it has definitely surprised me. I love it and it's been a nice complement to my MacBook Pro 14 inch. It's amazing how small and light it is!

I've always liked ThinkPads (my dad always sweared by them) but some of Lenovo ThinkPads just don't feel.... like a ThinkPad
I've used Thinkpads since they were still made by IBM, and while can't comment on this model in particular, in general both the P, T, & X lines are all still very well built. The E, L, SL, and anything with a non-standard name (ThinkPad Yoga, etc.) aren't the same level, but even IBM had lesser models back in the day.
Relatively similar for daily use, but there are a few key differences. X1 Nano will be much thinner and lighter with a much better display. X1 cannot be upgraded. T14 will be a bit more powerful and is upgradable. I'd go for the Nano personally, and I daily an X1 Carbon Gen9.
T line is thinkpad's classic line from IBM era; high quality. X line is for more portable use. thin and light; thus many times its not upgradeable.
P line is their performance line which many times includes a dedicated graphic cards.
E and L lines are little more budget friendly thinkpads lines. Unless you need thinkpad brand name, i would advise you to stay away. Some of thinkbooks are better quality than E and L lines.

I like the above t14 and x1 prices. I've never used anything outside of a cheap chromebook but I like my friends t14 a lot. I'm ignorant on technology so is buying a two year late model still a good investment in 2023 or are there a lot better 2023 model laptops to choose from in this 700 to 900 price range?

This laptop is almost perfect. Great fit and finish. Super light and thin. Battery life sucks. I returned this one after struggling with the battery life for a week
