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.

    Because external batteries take up precious space to attach. Internal ones can just sit there with maybe a few screws.

      yeah, but the t480 isn’t too thick and it had external batteries

      I feel like we’re just making laptops thin for the sake of it which I don’t like
