Lenovo ThinkPad L14 Gen 3 (AMD): An Upgradeable Budget Performer

This is an in-depth of a Lenovo ThinkPad L14 Gen 3 (AMD). In this video we take a look at the laptop hardware, software, internals, and go over all the nitty gritty details like hardware specs, design and my recommendations for who should buy this kind of device.
This was the laptop I was provided for work as an IT Support Technician from my most recent job. I no longer work at this job as of June 2024; however, I did use this machine for the better part of a year so I can answer any questions on how it is to use day-to-day.

I'm thinking to get this thinkpad. Thanks for the video!

[@cladadverse]

Sorry to hear about your job loss. 😞

[@JackStavris]

lol I’m not, I was already on my way out the door and was already looking for work. I actually got a job offer on the same afternoon I got laid off lol.

[@cladadverse]

@@JackStavris That's good to hear. Best of luck for new job!!

[@pete8475]

0:01 - I sold a TON of those Elite 330 cases once upon a time. I think the power button broke on nearly every single one.

[@JackStavris]

Yeah it's the case I use for my dedicated Windows XP build which I covered in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKqknp2ubq1kqZI

Can confirm: had an Intel i5 1235u L14 Gen 3, it also has 2 ram slots. Had an annoying M2 2242 size SSD which was a pain when trying to find one bigger than 1TB though.

[@JackStavris]

Ah I assumed the Intel L14 had only one RAM slot since the Intel T-series only had one RAM slot. Assuming it’s also DDR4 for the 12th gen L14 G3?
