Hello! I'm currently majoring in CS and thinking of buying a new laptop since my Acer Aspire can't handle some softwares we are using at university ( for reference I already had this laptop upgraded and fix many times but it keeps on performing sucks so I decided to just buy a brand new instead. ) and my choices so far are Macbook, Acer Nitro, and Lenovo ThinkPad but people everywhere from reddit, facebook, and tiktok loves ThinkPad and I have never heard anything bad about it ( I was even surprised people are against Macbook )
So is ThinkPad worth is worth it for programming, editing, and maybe a little bit of Games? + I find the price range okay since it is within my budget. Thank you much!
Hi everyone, I know nothing about Thinkpads but I I’m currently trying to choose between a T-series (T14, specifically) and an X1 Carbon Thinkpad.
What types of users do each of these usually cater to, and what are their use cases?
Is the X1 Carbon the more “luxury” line of Thinkpads or am I completely mistaken? I’m saying this based on the prices.
I am brand new to Lenovo. I have decided for standard staff that Lenovo T14 is the right product for their needs.
However, for managers who need a more lightweight laptop, with long battery life, as well as touch screen, I am considering either the X13 2 in 1 or the X1 Carbon.
Beyond the obvious difference that the X13 2 in 1 is 360 hinge, 13 inch monitor, core i5 cpu versus Carbon 14 inch monitor, no 360 hinge and core i7 range cpu - why would I choose one over the other?
Battery life, weight and sturdy build (as in will last many years) are the most important to us. We don’t need 32 GB ram or a core i7 or 512 SSD (as all the files are saved on the server. It is not used for gaming, coding or video editing etc. Just web, office and teams type stuff.
I can’t find anything that tells me which has better battery life (although I assume the X13 will be better as lower spec cpu) as well as longevity (as in laptop lasts).
I get the impression that the X13 is basically the same as a T series laptop, but in 13 inch size and touchscreen?

I’d be surprised that you dont need 512Gig drive - 256 fills up real quick with windows after a few updates etc. Will they not be syncing cloud storage of some form? I find that most average users quickly use 250gig now for general office use.
32gig Ram is not essential but 16 is.
If you want PCs to last 4 years then buy the best spec you can - typically just down from the top. Make sure you are not buying an old processor family.
Screen and overall device size can be a critical factor if they will use it as a laptop (i.e. without external screen, keyboard). Typically bigger is better - 13 inch is very small now for day to day use of a browser and office app like word/excel. You end up using a very high resolution to get a reasonable amount of info on the screen which makes it hard to use for prolonged periods.
Typically the folding 2-in-1 are slightly less robust. Only purchase these if touch screen is a requirement.
