Useful, thanks. The other articles covering this were very vague, something like -- if you are a Virgo who loves walks along the beach get the L series; if you love heavy metal get the E series. No explanations.
Finally someone has explained differences between TP models in right way. Thank you
Amazing how clearly you explained everything that I needed to know! Thank you alot!
My e530 has ran for years without a hitch and is still fast. Upgraded to the hills of course.
Amazing explanations, thanks
Excellent comparison between the series!
This is the most helpful video on the network. thanks for your informative explanation.
Anytime Adam - share with your friends and family who are looking for a new Lenovo laptop :)
thanks for April for the help! Also Serge ... i just bought an L14!
HI I am a student who wants to run linux and I do a bit of coding and some gaming( not AAA or nay such just the basic like GTA V) so I was thinking of going to the E15 ryzen 7 5700U variant with 16gb ram, So can are there any heating and fan issues and performance issues with the E15, as I usually run a lot of tabs and do a lot of multi tasking.
Excelente video... al fin aentiendo las diferencias entre las diferentes series de Thinkpad. Como desarrollador full stack, requiero una laptop con buen teclado, aparte la resistencia y capacidad de expansión de la serie T, así que la T15 será la que próximamente adquiera. Saludos desde México.
So neither of the e or L Series have a backlit keyboards?
This is the video I've been looking for couldn't figure out the difference between the three
I was so confused before watching this video. Cleared my all doubts. Thank you so much 😊
Most welcome 😊
excellente video!! thank you
Thank you very much this was very informative
Your opinion about what to choose between:
- ThinkPad L14 Gen3 FullHD i7-1255U-12thGen 16GB SSD512
- ThinkPad E14 Gen4 i7-1255U 16GB SSD512
- Does the Intel i7 run hot?
This is a great review of these 3 models. Thank you!
You can actually run up to 2 external monitors on the E series with a Thunderbolt USB-C dock that supports USB PowerDelivery pass through, FYI!
But only with the intel version. AMD does not support TB.
@@MW3oderBF3 You can run any AMD model in the E T or L series with the TB dock. In fact you can run higher resolution monitors with the AMD because it uses less data to transfer the picture. I'm currently running an AMD L series with 2 4k 32 inch monitors
@@jeremy5284 e-Series AMD only Supports DP 1.2 which doesn’t allow 2x4k.
@@MW3oderBF3 Never said it could do 2x4k. I said the L series could. So I'm not sure why your comment is even relevant
@@jeremy5284 Saying AMD models could run higher resolutions in general is wrong. E-Series is the example.
Thanks a lot guys....
Grateful for your video...
Happy to help! Head on over to Skycomp.ca/learn for more helpful info!
I have an online business and also deal in stock Trading, which series would you suggest I should buy.
I was previously using T460 core i3 laptop and it was upgraded to L14 core i5 laptop. I feel the speakers and mic in L14 are performing poor when compared to the T460. Is that something downgraded in the L14 model?
Hello Niroshan, Dolby® Home Theater® v4 is what comes on the T460 i7 - This uses 5.1-channel surround sound, where as the L14 just has Dolby® Audio™ High Definition (HD) Audio, Realtek® ALC3287 codec - This is just stereo so that's why your probably noticing a difference.
@@SkycompSolutionsInc obviously T460 won’t be outputting 5.1 channels of sound with 2 built in speakers.
From my experience the e series docking connector is kinda iffy. Thats a lot of use on the one type c connector over the unit's life. If you can afford it, buy a T series or a X1 series. Those are going to hold up the best.
Thanks for bringing the spicey french toast - and advice!
Hi great video.. I am getting into data science I am stuck between e series 14 gen 3 amd ryzen 7 5800u with all ram upgradable to 24 gb and all the military grade specs and L series with ryzen 7 pro 4750u (a generation lower) with benchmark score lesser than 5800u by 20 percent but with an upgradable ram to 64 gb. Which one do you suggest for me considering i am a novice and need a laptop for learning and professional use. Lower generation with ram expansion vs higher generation with lower ram upgrade. I am gravitated towards e series because of better value. Thanks
16gb ram is more than enough for any DS programming, you can go for E series
We agree with @Ankit Sinha
T-series AMD version only has max 32 GB iirc..?
I have an all-in-one HP computer - is it possible to connect a lap top to it like you would a monitor?
What your talking about would require a capture card, and be a complicated process. You should look into just getting another monitor instead of connecting a laptop :) - Hope that helps!
Nice video, Lenovo made so many different models that I have lost track of them.
I think the X and the P series also needs to be mentioned. I suppose the X series are the compact version of the T series with smaller screens (13”) and like the T series they’re also ‘built like a tank’ while maintaining compatibility with docking stations. The P series must be the large screen ones (idk for sure).. oh and there’s the W series, I think W is for “Workstation” and they have dedicated graphics card, large screens and full keyboard set with numerical keypad, the ones to run CAD and Engineering software, also having support for docking stations and able to run on multiple monitors as well.
P series is supposed to be for Performance, intended to fill the gap between T and W series. It has a better thermal management system and is a popular choice among software developers or engineers viewing native CAD drawings. For content generation be it video or creating CAD drawings W series is suited to do the heavy lifting. E series is plenty good for bean counters and bean soup.
i did not know the L series did not have the spill channels in it. oh well, i really needed a 15" screen and the L series was the only one that had the good CPU i wanted. i wish your video was louder as it was hard to see. this was a really good comparison between the thinkpad models. thanks for making it.
Edit: had the laptop for a few months. This L series has very quiet speakers. It's hard to play a video and hear it over my desk fan. I have to plug in headset and listen to things. Disappointed. Otherwise good and cheap.
Wow thanks CZcams for bringing this up, nicely explained...calm and cheerful video and what a clean website (Yes I visited your website).
I got a Lenovo E15 I7 10th Gen, it has a backlit keyboard, but I'm curious about the heating on lenovo machines especially the one I got, How is the thermal? Because you didn't talk about that.
Glad CZcams could bring us together :) - To answer your question, depends on the model specifically - If its higher spec, its going to get warmer for sure. If your running additional features as well.
Can you please help to advise? I am confuse of T14s AMD G1, G2 and G3? Which is better?
Hi HuongQ, the G stands for generations. So as of right now the G1 is discontinued, G2 is being phased out and G has just been released! G3 is going to be the best option for a new purchase, these will have the newest processors. I hope this clears up any confusion!
Where does P series stand in all these ? L, T, and E. I am looking for high perf coding requirements
The P Series is definitely a higher end system. That is in its own category - we are working on video describing its features. But if you want to learn more you can always head over to Lenovo's website!
@@SkycompSolutionsInc ok I will look at Lenovo's and your upcoming video too. Most systems these days heat up when under multiprocessing. Is there any thinkpad model which heats comparatively less in P series ?
Yes plz make video about p series..i need to run recognition codes in machine learning...and need to knw which series is according to that
@@shoepm you can try x series or older t series computers but best choice for workstation P, I've used p51 for several years and never had a problem
Thanks for the guide. Wish there was more close up B-roll tho
We'll be sure to add some more closeups in the next video! Thanks for the tip!
Helpful video.
Is the lenovo thinkpad e14 gen 2 any good for 3d modeling?
Hey SJam not the best option, you would probably be frustrated by the speed of your system, built in graphics card and amount of memory/ram.
We would suggest P-series or something with the ability to add more ram, a Nvidia Card and just overall more powerful system.
@@SkycompSolutionsInc Oke thanks you very much!
do you think all of them are quite good enough for programming?
Decent - again look at Ram and Processor, but we trust you'll make the right call :)
Gen 1 and 2 L series do have a magnesium chassis and spill channel keyboards fyi
Which is the best thinkpad for professional software programmers? Appreciate your help
Hello, Depending on your workload we would recommend a T16 with a minimum processor of the intel i7 and 16GB of RAM. Although this could jump to a P16 if what you are doing requires graphic support.
Doesn't this E14 14" has 2 slots for both RAM & SSD?
I think it has.
Memory Slots:
One DDR4 SO-DIMM slot
Max Memory:
Up to 16GB DDR4-2666
Storage:
Up to two drives, 1x 2.5" HDD + 1x M.2 2280 SSD or 1x 2.5" HDD + 1x M.2 2242 SSD
From Lenovo's Website:
psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_E14/ThinkPad_E14_Spec.PDF
@@SkycompSolutionsInc I do have few doubts.
E14 gen 2 AMD (indian version) didn't shown in psref.com.
Model is
20T6S0A500
(Came with non-backlit, and windows home not like global versions that has pro)
@@karthij2709 Some new models and DIY Spec models are not on psref. Only pre-built ones
What is the differece in terms of built quality and thin ?
Depends on which specific model you get. Most of these laptops are fairly thin and lightweight. The T series specifically has a few versions that are on the thinner side. All Lenovo laptops are testing against 12 military-grade requirements and more than 200 quality checks.
From the video i understood that the t series is the best one...still i want to ask...which laptop is best for deep learning..machine learning...also graphic card and display were not mentioned...
Hey Sheerma, You should look to the P-Series, this has graphics cards and is more focused toward what laptop you are looking for - The reason we didn't mention graphics cards - is because these systems have built in CPU cards! Hope that helps!
Can the battery be replaced on the L-series? Either by myself or a repair shop?
Yes you can replace the battery, Skycomp would always recommend doing this at a repair shop with a professional, but if you have the tools and skills.. go for it! Make sure you backup all your data and shutdown the computer properly!
@@SkycompSolutionsInc thank you. However czcams.com/video/sgUWAzjgC3s/video.html claims, the battery is glued to the chassis. Is this only specific to a small number of L15's?
@@MrOneWorld123 You seem to be on the right track with your research - head on over to the Lenovo website to find out those details.
You need yo disable the internal battery in the bios before you shut it down. Also normal shut down doesn’t actually shut down the pc on windows 10. You need to press shift on keyboard before clicking on start>power
Добрый день.
Единственное видео, где нормально объяснили разницу между моделим, хотя жаль не сделали табличку в конце видео.
спасибо.
Great video!
Thanks so much!
I'd like to ask which specification in the laptop can indicate the strength of the wifi signal?
That's a great question! In Windows 10 you can find your wifi signal and strength on the right side of your taskbar.
@@SkycompSolutionsInc Sorry I did not make myself clear. What I meant was the specification for Wifi with 11AX (2x2) as compared with Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX210 2x2 AX. Which between these 2 Wifi's has a faster rate of reception? I asked this because when I use my other laptop, the speedtest is half of that as compared with my desktop
Is the Keyboard same in all ? or T series have better keyboard ?
The L-Series 15" has a number pad - the other laptops are 13" and don't have number pads - the laptops with number pads are better for accounting careers. That being said other Lenovo laptops do have number pads - you just need to get the larger version with the wider keyboard to accommodate it.
I'm switching from an old Macbook Pro (4Gb RAM - SOO SLOW) to a Thinkpad. Leaning more towards L or T series because of the multiple monitor ports. Which model is thinner/lighter? Also, how much RAM should I get if I need multiple programs open, tabs in Chrome, etc? Currently, 4GB is excrutiatingly slow.
My advice which is just recycled advice from friends is this: 16 is a minimum. If you want to play video games then that's a different question, you then probably need more. Look for a good CPU because that too is important, not just the ram, but it seems all three of these series have nice CPUs. I'm sorry I can't help more. T series seem to be more modifyable, i.e. easier to add another RAM stick or other things. But I'm not an expert.
@@essennagerry Hi, thanks for your reply. 16 GB RAM seems minimum. It's not for gaming, just business, to do work on - spreadsheets, word, email, internet, etc. I need multiple tabs open and programs. Would 16Gb Ram be enough?
What would be a good CPU - i7, 11th Gen? How many cores, threads? ? How much Ghz processing speed?
You are on the right track here - Those little details matter (cores, threads, processing speed etc) but if you go for something with an i7 11th gen, 16 GB ram, you'll have no trouble running what you want. :) Reach out at Skycomp.ca if you need more guidance! Best, The Skycomp Team
Does L14/15 have these features over T14/15
- Red colour blinking light on the screen of the logo
- Fingerprint reader
- Backlit keyboard
E, L and T - All series have these features bit it depends on the model you choose
Thanks Vardan for jumping in with the answer :)
Which model is perfect for coding purpose for javascript and Python
If you will be relying on a lot of processing with coding and dealing with graphics etc. we suggest going with a P Series machine as it has a dedicated graphics card for that sort of editing. Right now is a great time to look into the P Series laptops as Lenovo usually puts on big sales for that line near the fall. You can check out our video on the P series here: czcams.com/video/9adQ9rXaT2Y/video.html. If you aren't doing intense processing for your coding and don't need that powerful of a machine we would suggest the T series out of this line up as the fans are placed strategically to keep your processor cooled and will perform faster for coding. Hope this helps!
Nice video! Please which one is ideal for gaming ??
The Lenovo Legion series is the best for gaming. This series of desktops and laptops is designed and dedicated to gaming!

Great info , what about weight difference
You can read more about it here -skycomp.ca/learn/article/lenovo-laptops-choosing-between-the-e-t-and-l-series-whats-the-difference - or the Lenovo website gives you details specs on weight! Hope that helps!
E series ThinkPads can also be configured with backlit keyboard. I have had one.
Also, among the L and E series laptops I have used, I found that L series has better keyboard with more key travel.
Could you please confirm if that difference in keyboards is among all L and E series laptops or was it just between the specific models that I used? Thanks.
We believe it was just between the specific models you used - but check Lenovo's website to confirm!
I have the E14, L14, and T14. The L14 and T14 keyboards are the same and have better key travel than the L14.

@@irfanhakimi2721 Nope, there are some for sale though on ebay.
What about P and X series

Thnx
Welcome
I dont think the dude blinked once lol
Volume too low.
Amazing low sound!
Noted!
More than three years later, still the best video to explain the major differences between the series. Thank you.🍺
T series is by far the best if you are looking for a workhorse, no comparison.
So basically T >> L >> E
Lol If you wanted to sum it up in a few letters sure! But we like to get into the details :)
X series chilling in the corner
and where is P ?
why no X
You can watch a video on the X-Series here: czcams.com/video/syDCnwrYyag/video.html
From first hand experience:
E - best keyboard, no card reader
L - Good keyboard, very heavy and outdated looking
T - sleek modern design, good keyboard, but horrible upgradability.
The L series is heavier and less solidly built than even the E series. The L series is also the most outdated looking.
Get E if you don't need card reader or LTE
Get L if you don't care about weight but need LTE and card reader
Get T is you have a bigger budget.
That's one way to put it! Laptops are all up to the user experience and what career or job role they have! We love this description! Thanks for helping summarize!
From the video i got that t series is easily upgradeable
@@sheemakhan459 Except T14 Series.
T Series Had 2 Side.
