Lenovo Thinkpad T14 Gen 2 laptop i5-1135G7 48GB 500GB 14.0" FHD

Business laptop with dual-boot OS

The Lenovo Thinkpad T14 Gen 2 is a new business laptop equipped with an 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor, 48GB of DDR4 memory and a 500GB PCIe SSD. It ships with Windows 11 Pro and Linux Mint installed side-by-side, allowing the user to choose either operating system at startup. This configuration suits professionals who need a portable workstation that runs both environments without virtualisation overhead.

Thunderbolt 4 and wired networking limits

Two USB-C ports support Thunderbolt 4 for high-speed peripherals and external displays, while a single HDMI output provides an additional video connection. The integrated RJ-45 jack delivers 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet for stable wired networks. Wireless connectivity relies on Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, so throughput depends on the surrounding radio environment and the capabilities of the access point or paired device.

48GB memory and 500GB storage headroom

The 48GB DDR4 allocation handles heavy multitasking, large datasets and memory-hungry applications with ample headroom for most business workloads. The 500GB PCIe SSD offers fast boot and load times, though users working with extensive media libraries or multiple virtual machines may find the capacity restrictive and require external or cloud storage for archival needs.
