  Not when it comes with the huge downside of non upgradeable RAM. I will carry around a huge power bank before I buy a laptop with soldered RAM.

    32gb is fine for most

      I don’t see many users upgrading the memory on a laptop like this either but would criticize soldered RAM based on the aspect of repairability. T14s are often used in business which means hundreds of machines handled by IT departments. Boards will die and technicians will throw them out including the RAM. Now granted most companies don’t bother with hardware repairs anyway but somewhere down the chain someone will have these machines on their workbench and the easier it is to fix them up the better.

      640K ought to be enough for anybody.

    I carry a ~300 Wh power bank with my laptop.

    They also have a less-elaborate, smaller, lighter, less-expensive ~200 Wh model that’s probably more actually-practical:
