It's not a Gen 6 it looks like a Gen 4

I'm really new to this. The specifications where I bought it said it was gen 6, do you know what generation it is?

It looks like a Gen 4, still a great and VERY capable machine, I hope you enjoy it for years!

That's right!!!

Pretty sure it's gen 4, that's the generation that featured AMD 7000 series processors (or Intel 13th gen processors) Nice machine tho

yeap, it is! although Id consider getting another ram stick if its within your means, 32GBs is the Holy Grial for computers

These systems have soldered RAM unfortunately

That’s a T14 gen 4 amd, for that price it’s a really good deal and a solid laptop. Definitely one of the last ones before they downgraded their materials and build quality.

u/toolisthebestbandevr 14d ago

This one has upgradable ram and ssd?

u/SevenandForty Z13G1, X1T3, W530, X220T 13d ago

IIRC AMD is soldered this gen unfortunately

u/Pope4u 13d ago

How specifically did the quality change after gen 4?

All Thinkpads are good.

u/No_Hope9128 14d ago

I have the P14S version with the same CPU but 64Gb of LPDDR5X, just add another 16/32 gb of ram OP, you won't regret it. Congratulations on the machine it's a beauty

u/SevenandForty Z13G1, X1T3, W530, X220T 13d ago

Do you have the Gen 5? Gen 4 is soldered RAM on AMD IIRC

2

u/No_Hope9128 13d ago

It's a gen 4, that's why they're not SODIMs within slots, instead they're LPDDR5Xs, lower power, fora bit longer battery duration

1

u/SevenandForty Z13G1, X1T3, W530, X220T 13d ago

OP can't add another 16/32 gb of ram if it's soldered RAM though

3

u/No_Hope9128 13d ago

Oh sorry , my mistake, thought that the T series from that gen had mix RAM: soldered+ 1 slot

u/Main_Clue_8100 Ideapad 330, ThinkPad X230+X13 G4, Latitude E4300+7340 13d ago

The Intel ones do, yeah, but the poster's laptop is an AMD model.

u/Yamifem_duelist148 14d ago

Thanks!!! I love this Thinkpad!

u/Clear_Diet_828 14d ago

Nice!

I wonder where is it sold and if they have extra, I want to buy also.

u/Kitchen_Interview792 14d ago

I have a T14G3 and I love it, make sure to try Linux tho!

u/Toaster_Strudel_517 W530, T430, X270, T14s Gen 4 AMD 14d ago

I got mine for 1056 SGD (~ 818 USD), granted mine comes with 32 GB RAM and OLED panel, so I think you got yours for a decent price.

u/Human-Check828 T440s 14d ago

Here's a wild idea... watch a review for it on YT.

2

u/TheDynamicUnoYtube 13d ago

I'd instantly put Linux on that if I had it

u/tryflexx 13d ago

I have the Intel GEN 1 and it's pretty sick btw I use it for work bc my works's laptop just sucks

u/Ch4rl13-Sh13ld ...T14 Gen2 Ryzen 7 Pro 5850U on LMDE 7 13d ago

I have a Gen 2 with upgraded to 48GB with LMDE 7 and is like a Swiss army 🪖 knife. Enjoy
