Final Buying Advice T14s G6 - WWYD/FOMO - hit me with your honest opinions.
Hi,
I'm looking to buy a Thinkpad after rocking the X220 for about 10 years now...
My use case is some light gaming, coding, media consumption (car / train) and lots of browsing/office work.
I've narrowed it down to 2 models:
T14s LNL 228V - LP Screen
T14s Ryzen AI 350 OLED
Price difference where I am is about 100 quid (Switzerland).
So some questions/rfc...
-
The extremely high runtime of the LNL is appealing to me, however I think if the Ryzen can last somewhere around 10-12 hours this should be sufficient for me, since I wouldn't mind bringing a battery pack in that case. I've looked at the 2025 TP battery chart and think that should be possible.
Can any of you weigh in on that? -
The OLED is multitouch, but it is possible to disable it - should I worry about more power usage or any deprecation of the display?
-
I really like the way OLEDs look, just worried about the battery life - is dark mode working for you on Chrome/Edge to offset this a bit?
-
The Ryzen seems to have a larger idle power footprint, any idea how to lower that a little bit? Can you play with windows power states or BIOS settings somehow?
Any ideas/input is welcome, so I can finally hit the order button and be content for the next 5-10 years or so :D
