The ThinkPad T14 series is among the most well known and liked business laptop series. It is not a premium series, but it delivers a well-rounded combination of quality and features. With the lastest Intel Lunar Lake CPU, it is more efficient than ever, setting a new battery life record for the T14 series.

      Not when it comes with the huge downside of non upgradeable RAM. I will carry around a huge power bank before I buy a laptop with soldered RAM.

        I will carry around a huge power bank before I buy a laptop with soldered RAM.

        I carry a ~300 Wh power bank with my laptop.

        They also have a less-elaborate, smaller, lighter, less-expensive ~200 Wh model that’s probably more actually-practical:

        Note that you can’t take anything over 100 Wh on a flight in the US. I also have a 100 Wh power bank that I keep around for flights.

          I don’t see many users upgrading the memory on a laptop like this either but would criticize soldered RAM based on the aspect of repairability. T14s are often used in business which means hundreds of machines handled by IT departments. Boards will die and technicians will throw them out including the RAM. Now granted most companies don’t bother with hardware repairs anyway but somewhere down the chain someone will have these machines on their workbench and the easier it is to fix them up the better.
