Lenovo Thinkpad T14 Gen 2 laptop i5-1135G7 24GB 500GB 14.0" FHD

Business laptop with dual-boot OS

The ThinkPad T14 Gen 2 ships with Windows 11 Pro and Linux Mint pre-installed on a 500 GB PCIe SSD. Users select the operating system at each reboot, allowing immediate access to either environment without virtualization overhead. An 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor with four cores and 24 GB of DDR4 memory handles typical office workloads and light development tasks. The 14.0-inch Full HD IPS panel provides a 1920 x 1080 workspace in a chassis that weighs 3.23 lb.

Thermals noise and 65 W power draw

A 65 W power adapter supplies the system while a 50 Wh lithium-polymer battery supports mobile use. Integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics share system memory, keeping heat output modest during document editing or video playback. The fan remains quiet under light loads and spins up only during sustained multi-core activity. Power consumption stays within the adapter rating, so no larger supply is required for the factory configuration.

Dual-boot selector and Thunderbolt 4 ports

The boot menu is the only bundled software feature; it lets you choose Windows 11 Pro or Linux Mint at startup, but both cannot run simultaneously. Two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports add high-speed data, video output and charging through a single connector. Additional interfaces include two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, HDMI, a micro-SD reader, Gigabit Ethernet and a combo audio jack. A 720p webcam covers basic conferencing needs.
