Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 2 i5-1135G7 40GB 4TB 14.0" FHD laptop

Business laptop with dual-boot OS

The ThinkPad T14 Gen 2 pairs an 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor with 40GB of DDR4 memory and a 4TB PCIe SSD. It ships with Windows 10 Pro and Linux Mint 20 pre-installed in a dual-boot configuration. You select the operating system at startup and must reboot to switch between them. The 14.0-inch Full HD IPS panel delivers a 1920 x 1080 resolution.

Fixed memory and pre-loaded software

The 40GB DDR4 SO-DIMM is not user-upgradeable, so the capacity cannot be increased after purchase. Installing additional applications or updating either operating system will consume space on the shared 4TB PCIe SSD. The dual-boot setup requires a full reboot each time you change environments, which interrupts workflow compared to virtualisation.

Connectivity and display limits

Thunderbolt 4 ports support high-speed peripherals and external displays, while the HDMI output handles video only. Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 provide modern wireless links, and the RJ-45 jack is limited to gigabit Ethernet speeds. The integrated Iris Xe graphics rely on system memory and the 720p webcam offers basic video quality.
