I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T14s Gen 3 AMD as of a few months ago. It replaced my older Thinkpad X1 Carbon 6th gen from 4 years ago, the main impetus being that I wanted 32gb of memory vs the 16gb that my X1 Carbon had. It's only a little bit bigger than the X1 Carbon, but I really like the 16:10 form factor vs the Carbon's 16:9. (Note that this year's Carbon also went to 16:10).

The Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U processor (Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U also available) is performant and the battery life is _much_ better than the current 12th gen Intel processors. The experience with Linux has generally been great. I had a sleep issue initially but it's been resolved. I ordered it with only a 256GB SSD then swapped that out with a 1TB Samsung 980 Pro before installing Ubuntu. If you want at 1TB or 2TB ssd, it's significantly cheaper to do it like this vs getting a bigger one with your order, and you will have a a faster SSD too.



What do you use the laptop for if I might ask? I am tempted to get the same one but with the Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U.


> I ordered it with only a 256GB SSD...

What make and model SSD did it come with?


They usually pack some SK Hynix OEM targeted models.

You can replace it with something better like SSK Hynix Platinum P41 or Samsung SSDs.
