Lenovo is doing a reversal when it comes to the repairability of its ThinkPad T series: The new Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 features two SO-DIMMs and a user-replaceable internal battery. To prove its progress in modularity, the Chinese manufacturer had it reviewed by iFixit - the new ThinkPad laptop scored a near perfect 9.3/10.

    I think this comment deviates from the topic of the post, so you should create a new post on !asklemmy@lemmy.ml. From what I understand, your key requirement is:

    • choice to buy without OS, or with Linux/BSD/DOS
    • budget-friendly

    You also need to mention your use-case, your budget-range, and if you want a specific processor brand? Like for example, do you want to just use browser, do you want to code, or do you want to do 3D-related projects?

    You can even add more specific requirement. Like for example, I want the latest Zen 4 CPU with modern RDNA 3 GPU, so I am being careful to only pick the AMD 7040 and 8040 series, and not the 7020, 7030, 7035 and 7045 series based laptops. Or if you’re okay with purely soldered RAM (not upgrade-able), half-soldered-half-SODIMM (somewhat upgrade-able) or purely SODIMM (relatively higher degree of upgrade-ability) config? Also what about the storage size?

    Collect your requirements and create a new post over there.
