Thinkpad Gen3: T14 vs T14s
Hi everyone,
I need your help in choosing the right laptop for my work. I'm not tech savvy, so I appreciate any guidance you can provide.
I work from home and use my laptop as a desktop - not carrying it around. I currently use a T480s, which still works fine, but it's time for an upgrade. My daily tasks include:
- Using Salesforce in Edge with 15-20 tabs open
- Having an additional 5-6 random tabs in Chrome
- 2-3 Zoom calls daily, each around 1hr long
- 2 external monitors connected
- Using the laptop for around 12 hours a day
- No heavy programs
I need a durable laptop with good performance. I have two options that are very similar, but there's almost a $200 difference between them:
Option 1: T14 Gen 3
- AMD Ryzen™ 7 PRO 6850U Processor (2.70 GHz up to 4.70 GHz)
- 16 GB LPDDR5-6400MHz (Soldered)
- 512 GB SSD M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 TLC Opal
- Battery: 3 Cell Li-Polymer 39.3 Wh
- Price: $780
Option 2: T14s Gen 3
- AMD Ryzen™ 7 PRO 6850U Processor (2.70 GHz up to 4.70 GHz)
- 16 GB LPDDR5-6400MHz (Soldered)
- 1 TB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD
- Battery: 57 Whr (MM18)
- Price: $950
Display and touch non touch options are not important to me. Does it make sense for me to pay almost $200 more for the T14s?
