@Notebookcheck, please update your artikel, , because nearly all models from Lenovo were listing that RAM  is soldered, e.g. the 32 GB LPDDR5X-8533MT/s .

If Lenovo uses mainly soldered LPDDR5X-8533MT/s RAM how many other changes have been implemented to the Thinkpad T14 Gen 7 since you tested it?

In addition to the RAM do this models still offer
- the modular USB-C ports,
- can the fan still be cleaned without also changing the heat-paste.
- the free M.2 2242 slot for an optional 5G card.
- the easily user replaceable keyboard?


I found only one model:

- 32 GB LPDDR5X-8533MT/s (CAMM2) WUXGA Touch Display (21WNCTO1WWDE1)

while all other models, incl. the 4 k Touchdisplay, had  soldered RAM, e.g.:

- 32 GB LPDDR5X-8533MT/s (verlötet), 4k Touchdiplay (21YUCTO1WWDE3)
- 32 GB LPDDR5X-8533MT/s (verlötet), WUXGA Touchdiplay (21YUCTO1WWDE2)

The review unit went with a much inferior screen, 45% NTSC, high power consumption, lower brightness. What a waste. It is therefore wrong to conclude that Panther Lake loses to the last gen on battery life.

During a couple of weeks, the 358H was available for the T16 Gen 5 as well (at least in Spain). I had it in my shopping cart and then it dissapeared.

Lenovo must have paid a pretty penny (bribe) to man reviewers... How can they praise this over a Framework 13? Framework is expensive, but so is this, and Framework is a lot better!

This is good news for Framework, the big dogs are definitely scared about their success.

>"Entry level with Core Ultra 5 325"
> price: 1760 Euro

Entry to what? Suckers club?

And with the CPU performance on the R7-5700U level from 5 years ago
Ridiculous.

It won't enjoy widespread and long-lasting popularity among users—this marks the beginning of the end for the T series

The X7 Intel is only available in theory for T14, there is basically one specs in psref with it, so forget about it. You can get it in the even more expensive X1 Carbon though.

So due to this, the Intel Panther Lake 3rd is basically a downgrade in GPU compared to a 2nd Gen H or V CPUs with Intel Arc 130/140 V/T. Only getting a "U" version will be better this year.

I am also curious about the CPU performance of the 3rd gen H with 2 less P cores compared last year (4-8-4 vs. 6-8-2). The tested "U" version this year is nearly identical with the V from last year (both 4-0-4), so no surprises there.

Quote from: dumb_oems on May 26, 2026, 15:03:08stupid fan curve profiles

Should be able to create custom fan curve profile using OEM software.

In Asus laptops for example, by going into Armory Crate -> accessing manual mode.

>> "Will be practically silent, like a Nintendo switch 2."

no it won't, because of stupid fan curve profiles

the only thing that can be relied on to be silent and fast enough is a Macbook Air

that's why I am using it. the dumb OEMs can't even do a reliable fan-off bios option.

Two keys left from the ENTER key are still narrower than the rest. This is not okay. This is still an abomination. Not buying. And obviously that horrendous camera hump.. sigh.

Framework is way more overpriced than this "overpriced 'laptop'" if you don't live where they can officially ship them to.

Quote from: dumb_oems on May 26, 2026, 10:14:30How?

Turn off fan always on in BIOS.

Limit TDP to lowest power profile, so it's using 9w-13w.

Will be practically silent, like a Nintendo switch 2.

>> Very easy to disable fan and retain most of the performance on them.

How? I would consider buying a decent fanless Windows laptop.

You should get a hold of an 358H and the IPS Touchscreen with 100% sRGB Color, and the big battery and then test it. That is the real T14 Gen 7 in my humble opinion.
