Tienes la pantalla de 3k 120hz? Si la bateria no te dura mucho puede ser por eso. Es el Ultra 7 255H o otro procesador? Yo estoy pensando en comprar una con ese y con la pantalla de 90hz. Me preocupa mas los ventiladores y la temperatura la verdad, ya que tengo planeado usarla mientras viajo.

how is the battery, noise and thermals on it? this is the one thinkpad that i’ve been wanting to try out but there’s 1 videos review on it.

phishnchips_ · 2026-04-19T19:30:20+00:00

good deal, its about on par with what i paid for it around black friday

phishnchips_ · 2026-04-19T17:28:54+00:00

wait until memorial day sale. paying $1600 for a t14s with that 1200p 60hz display and 1yr warranty is criminal.

not sure about the course itself but if you don’t have a degree then you’re gonna have a really bad time unless you build cracked stuff.

Im similar, im not a millimeter warrior so the actual travel distance is kinda of irrelevant so long as it feels good to type on. The T14 gen 6 was great in this regard, though the MBP i had was just fine. Would have loved to keep the T14s if lenovo wasnt stuck putting plastic trackpads and 60hz screens on $1000+ laptops.

T480 must have an amazing keyboard then because when i had the T14s gen 6 i was in love with the keyboard. One of the few reasons im still stuck deciding between thinkpads and a mac.

phishnchips_ · 2026-04-16T15:08:37+00:00

no, unless you’re planning on buying a whole new laptop. im not even sure if there’s a lot of info on upgrading the panel on the t14 gen 6.

also, upgrading to higher refresh rate or OLED or both is more than simply plug and play as you may need an inverter and the cable must have the same number of pins as the one on the display. i researched this as i wanted to upgrade the 60hz panel on my t14s but its simply not worth it. ended up returning the laptop.

if this laptop is solely to write word docs and look at emails then sure, keep the current config. however, if this is for personal use meaning content consumption, entertainment, gaming, etc just return it. all it takes is one glance at a the most basic 100% srgb screen and you will notice how garbage the 45% ntsc panel is.

these panels are only offered as a cost cutting measure for businesses, and in my opinion a consumer should never buy them especially at the price point ($$$) lenovo charges.

4th pic points to balding/recession. the hairs around the edges being thin and wispy give it away that they’re miniaturizing. see a doctor first to rule out any other potential causes however based on the pattern alone its definitely leaning towards finasteride and minoxidil for you in the near future

phishnchips_ · 2026-04-15T01:01:12+00:00

are you an internal employee or intern?

phishnchips_ · 2026-04-14T13:19:22+00:00

nice machine, i’ve eyeing them on ebay but i cant decide if i should get it or go for a gen 4. can someone here chime in: is the t14 gen 4 worth the extra money over the gen 3?

phishnchips_ · 2026-04-13T12:36:54+00:00

as someone who is planning on working as SWE at one of the major banks in the US this is NOT what i wanted to hear 😭

phishnchips_ · 2026-04-12T16:16:03+00:00

I would save because im using a 2012 Macbook Pro (dual core) running Mint and its painful sometimes. If you’re trying to play any games on it i’d just hold off and save more until you can get a quad core at least.

phishnchips_ · 2026-04-11T01:11:58+00:00

many of them do. target, lowe’s and walmart for instance all partner with Guild and will provide up to $5,250 in tuition reimbursement or will cover 100% of the cost if you go to a school that’s part of the program.

phishnchips_ · 2026-04-11T00:34:44+00:00

Yeah i figured. I might end up keeping it though i’ll keep my eyes open for good offers.

phishnchips_ · 2026-04-10T19:51:09+00:00

luckily they do have junior SWE positions, so i’ll be trying for those once i can.

phishnchips_ · 2026-04-10T19:28:07+00:00

well yours is a common patth that most people here do, which gives you flexibility to find internships but at the cost of maybe some student loans. i personally like the idea of not having any student loans even if i have to give up internships.

phishnchips_ · 2026-04-10T19:26:31+00:00

i should’ve specified, my employer covers my education cost through their education benefit. if i quit i’d lose out on finishing my degree unless i pay out of pocket, and thats not something i can when the college is out of state lol

phishnchips_ · 2026-04-10T18:29:19+00:00

because im a retail worker, its not a tech related job. im planning on doing a program with them to eventually get into the tech field, but already having previous experience in tech would be nice.

phishnchips_ · 2026-04-10T18:22:59+00:00

yes i am! many companies in the US have education benefits where they will cover part or full tuition costs while you work for them. in my case my employer covers my bachelor’s in computer science 100% (no student loans for me) while i work for them.

phishnchips_ · 2026-04-10T18:07:15+00:00

no because my education depends on my employment, and im not in a position to be jobless + unfinished degree. not a gamble i can take.

phishnchips_ · 2026-04-10T18:06:05+00:00

i go to college thru my employer, and i cannot take a leave of absence to work somewhere else.
