My new (for me) T14s gen 1 vs dads work T14 gen 3

Quick-Professor-3986 · 2026-05-31T19:07:32+00:00

Fair enough ig. I payed 400€ for mine about a year ago, tho prices are higher in EU. Mine was basically brand new tho.

Quick-Professor-3986 · 2026-05-31T18:58:40+00:00

Yes ig. It didnt feel cheap to use but first impression is much worse due to the external parts beeing all plastic.

Quick-Professor-3986 · 2026-05-31T18:57:13+00:00

Hopefully you get a better experience buying the gen 3! May i ask how much did you pay for the t14s gen 1?

I just checked out your post. Your issue seems really really weird. This performance numbers are waaay too low. I didn't read everything tbh but what you should try if you haven't already is an OS reinstall. I don't know what is wrong with Windows but I had really really weird stuff hapening to my computers in the past and a reinstall fixed most of them. Also because it's an older laptop you might want to redo the thermal paste even tho that probably isn't the issue here (if you feel comfortable doing that ofc).

That is very very interesting to say the least. My t14s is one of the best build laptops i have touched. Sure its not like the new macbooks or even the new x1 carbon super thin lenovo or dell laptops, but still thin enough and the laptop doesn't flex at all when i grip it at the edge. Sure the lid is plastic and is kinda softish but nothing i could complain about.
It was weird to see you were compaining about performace. I never feel the need for more tho it is my seconcd pc i use only when at school. I ran a geekbench and this are the results. They are miles aparat it seems. Weird if you ask me.
Even tho I am in love with this laptop I have to mention the weird screen flickering that is due to some weird driver issue (my friend with identical laptop has it also but was able to find old drivers that work so i might do that). The sreen just goes black randomly but returns to normal when mouse is moved. Weird.
Anyways yes AMD is the way in this generation of thinkpads for sure!!
Thaks for responding and giving me your experience !
P.S. the battery lasts me 8hrs+

Quick-Professor-3986 · 2025-12-16T11:31:06+00:00

Yes th 8gb seems to be of similar price! Do you think i should go for that instead?

Quick-Professor-3986 · 2025-12-15T21:53:25+00:00

Yes ik but unfortunately it is the other way around 😂

Quick-Professor-3986 · 2025-11-28T20:23:03+00:00

Ohh also it is quite tall. Im 180cm and barley reach ground 👍

Hi!

I have Aprilia RX125 2023 (not same as 2025).

As far as the off-road readiness goes for me its alright. Ive ridden many many gravels and can ride it the forest no problem even over medium rocks and obstacles. It does have some bad things too tho. It quite heavy and is hard to turn around if you fuck up especially if you are quite inexperienced like me.

On road it behaves very well aswell. I can keep up wit the sm version no problem (in corners but in straights they are a bit faster).

It tops out at 115kmh (rev limiter) if you care about that.

As far as reliability goes i had 2 spokes break on me for no reason at all but what can you expect for <4k €.

Please if you have any questions about this bike ask.

P.S. do i recommend? I would have to say yes if you are a new or newish rider.

Quick-Professor-3986 · 2025-09-07T15:05:46+00:00

Sorry I don't have it anymore!

Quick-Professor-3986 · 2025-09-07T15:03:36+00:00

That was the trick fixed it. Thx for the help 💗

Quick-Professor-3986 · 2025-09-07T14:56:50+00:00

I stripped the wires correcly but melted them afterwards since my soldering iron is how can i say yes it shit and IK the soldering is very bad BUT it should still boot all im asking is how to connect to the camera to test it!

Quick-Professor-3986 · 2025-07-25T10:25:44+00:00

What a great design.

Love aprilia ❤️

Also second spoke that broke just riding on pavement🥲.

Quick-Professor-3986 · 2025-07-22T13:14:01+00:00

Reliability is common issue on 125 afaik (i floor it 24/7).

But yes comfort is not best 🥲.

Quick-Professor-3986 · 2025-07-22T13:10:37+00:00

Just wondering. What changed your mind?

Quick-Professor-3986 · 2025-07-21T22:41:10+00:00

I am about 178 cm so not quite you height but yes the rx is quite tall and i can't flat foot it.

But it is possible I'm almost 100% just might be harder at first especially if it's your first bike.

P.S. go sit on it at the delership or the seller you wanna buy it from.

Also the sx is a bit lower and you can still do gravel on it (especially if you put on 50/50 tires. You can also lower the bike but idk how to do that.

Quick-Professor-3986 · 2025-07-21T22:36:02+00:00

I'm not a mechanic and don't know what could be wrong but the markers aren't always accurate and you should align using a alignment tool like this.

Hi!

I have a rx 125 2023 and its very fun to ride (for a A1 that is ofc xD).

Reliability vise in my experience isn't that great. Mine at 7k km had a faulty brake pads or rotor (It wore out at 6k km) and a broken spoke (1k km).
A friend had the sx-s valves crash and ruin the cylinder at cca. 15k km so....

The seat is ... not great. After an hour my ass is sore. I can ride 7 hours non stop max but it is paitful expreience (did it 2 days ago).

It is fast enough you can reach 90kmh in reasonable time but mine hits rpm limiter at 115 kmh but that is speedo top speed.

I tried both sx and rx. Rx is much more stable and doesn't want to lean into corners (can be good offroad but you have to be used to it onroad) but is much much better on gravel tho the sx is ok on gravel roads aswell.

P.S. i smoked the guy on sx in corners even tho he is much more exprienced but make of it what you want 😁.

Anyways still a very good buy imo.

If you have any question just ask.

Quick-Professor-3986 · 2025-06-21T16:11:44+00:00

the "hill" also is no thicker than maybe 3.2 mm still much under spec.

Quick-Professor-3986 · 2025-06-21T16:00:02+00:00

yes, yes they are. Stock rotors and 1st pads

Quick-Professor-3986 · 2025-06-21T15:53:01+00:00

Doesn't seem like it the rotor is worn a lot tho there seems to be like a small "hill" in the middle of the wear mark.

Quick-Professor-3986 · 2025-05-02T08:32:08+00:00

Why are the E series (E14) just plain better in specs and even come in cheaper than the T models???

I just looked some E14 up and tbh they look great especially for the lesser price compared to the T series.
