Thinkpad T14s

[Ebil]

I recently got a T14s from a blr reseller with a Ryzen 7 4850U paired with 32 gb ram and it smokes my X1 Yoga and X13 Yoga with Intel 10th gen processor in dev tasks while giving better battery. Even the Vega 7 iGPU is really good for gaming. GWLS.

Ya for this one I negotiated a bit and paid 27k. He has several pieces of the same model, feel free to ping him.

Last year I had bought X1 Yoga Intel 10th gen for 35k and X13 Yoga Intel 10th Gen for 30k from other resellers in the city.

Some wisdom from talking to various resellers in the city and folks from the IT service dept of my company who regularly auction these thinkpads:

• There is a genuine risk of resellers swapping out components so go with models where most components are soldered on the MB, i.e. X series (X1 carbon, X1 Yoga, X13 series) or T(s) series like T14s (stands for slim - memory and wifi chip is soldered)
• Ask the reseller for the serial number on the back and use it to confirm the specs on Lenovo's support page.
• Always make sure the BIOS is unlocked - sometime when IT depts of companies auction off to resellers, they forget to unlock the BIOS.
• Always check the battery health using batterymon or Lenovo vantage software - with 3 years of usage health should be >80%
• Almost all resellers will give 3 months testing warranty, you can negotiate to increase it or lower the price.
• Go with resellers with a physical store.
