Lenovo Thinkpad T14 (Gen 1) 14" FHD Laptop Win11pro Computer, AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 4650U up to 4.0GHz, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB SSD, Thunderbolt 3, HDMI, Webcam (Renewed)

I purchased a Lenovo laptop and I can’t be any more pleased with the performance that it has shown me. Great buy and a great price.

I can’t get a refund because my work is on the laptop, but charger went to crap within 2 weeks, seems like the refurbish might be somewhat poorly done, actual laptop has some great specs and runs great, just cheaped out with a thin black laminate in the outside of the laptop to hide scratches underneath, some creaking, moderate overheating aswell as the poorly crafted USB C charger! I would give it a higher rating without charging issues.

I use this laptop as my primary work machine. For this, it's very good. My use-case is unusual, though. I have the machine dual-booting Ubuntu 24.04, and I very, very rarely use Windows 10. I run MS-office apps on Ubuntu through the Wine emulator (a few times a week), and that's just fine for my purposes. If I were a heavy Word/Excel/Outlook/PowerPoint user, I probably would not be happy with this setup, and I'd be using the machine with just Windows 10 as it was delivered. However for Python development, web app development, general browsing and the like, this machine with the Ubuntu dual-boot is very nice!The machine does not come with any distribution media. Just the laptop and a USB-C power adapter. Windows 10 is on the drive, but that's all you get. Up to you to make rescue and restore media. I didn't test disk performance under Windows.Pro: I like the keyboard. Lenovo's Fn/Ctrl layout is backwards from every other keyboard I use, but it the BIOS has a setting to flip those keys so they match a more typical layout. The keyboard has a very nice feel. The touchpad also works very well, and the fingerprint reader is reliable. The camera and microphone also work very well. Leading Zoom meetings and screen sharing for remote work with this machine is a breeze. CPU speed is everything I expect from a Ryzen 5. Lenovo has good support for Ubuntu, and the 24.04 desktop edition installed out of the box to full-function dual boot with no problems. I added zfs with encryption for my user data, and this doesn't noticeably slow anything down. Apart from the smartcard reader and the SD/MMC drive, all the hardware is fully compatible. WiFi, Bluetooth performance are very good. Output to a big HDMI monitor also looks great.Con: Compared with my old Chromebook, the battery life is fair. I can get about 2 hours of work done with it before I need to recharge. The "smartcard" reader doesn't work at all with Linux, but it's not a feature I need. The MMC/SD card reader is unreliable. It's OK for copying things to/from other devices, but too unstable to use as an auxiliary drive (otherwise, it would be great to drop a 1TB card in it). There's only one NVME slot, so you'll have to mirror onto a bigger drive if 512GB isn't enough for your purposes.

Se equivocaron con el pedido. Solicité una laptop Lenovo L14 renovada pero me la mandaron Nueva.Es increíble supero mis expectativas. Ningún solo rasguño y sin signos de desgaste, todo funcional.Gracias!.

All good, shout out to the reseller

I ordered this laptop four times. Each time I was given a tracking number, which is supposed to indicate the item is getting prepped to ship, at the very least. The first three times, the seller canceled the order. I figured the fourth was going to do the same thing, but miraculously, it arrived.The laptop worked for 2 weeks. I had to take it to a technician to diagnose. The hard drive died. Very infuriating.Not only did it take several weeks to even RECEIVE the item, it was defective, and I lost several sensitive documents and countless photos that are now unrecoverable.I do NOT recommend anyone risk buying and using this item if you have files you don’t want to lose permanently.

9 out of 10.Initially looked brand new and after using it for 12 hours, I see small things; 9 out of 10.Upgraded ram and kicked windows to the curb. Storage upgrade next.Paired with the Ultradock and working flawlessly.
