    This will be a great ThinkPad upgrade in 5 years when they start finding their way onto EBay for sub 500 bucks.

    too bad the t series went from $1200, to $1600, to $2200.

    I’ve since abandoned the t series because it’s just unaffordable. started questioning why we sold t series once they initially dropped 3 yr warranty and made it 1.

    looking forward to getting one of these - in about a decade or so. T14 G1, perfectly serviceable, are around $150 nowadays, so this one should be attainable for me in 2036 or so. until then…

    Another ThinkPad to recommend for Linux, for an environment to trust! I have Debian with AwesomeWM on non-tablet awesome ThinkPad X201 i7 620M, chassis 3249CTO, I pre-purhased in 2010, and it works as a charm with KDE Plasma latest even! <3

    Magnificent support for every single hardware module… iwlwifi for the Wi-Fi, Gobi 2000 SIM and GPS, too… Everything…

    Some of the additional reviews of ThinkPad T14 Gen 7 And T16 Gen 5… Not only it looks like a miracle but works with Linux out-of-the-box, indeed!

    Thank you, heartfelt… dear Artists, Developers, Managers, Analysts… Genius… ineffably magnificent People… for the infinitely awesome miracles you do…
