SSDs are too expensive now for many users - time to take a look again at traditional HDDs! We tested two external drives with large capacities that can be added to any PC, one focused on work and one focused on gaming.

Panther ThinkBook. A laptop north of €1,000 is hardly a budget system, but in the year 2026, it may be considered so - especially if it offers 32 GB of memory.

We recently tested two 14-inch Lenovo laptops with Intel Panther Lake - the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 7 and the Lenovo ThinkBook 14 G9 IPL. Here are the most important differences!

Up until now, SSDs for laptops have been mostly made by well known names from the US, Korea or Japan, like Samsung, Kioxia or Western Digital. In the midst of the RAM and SSD crisis, a new player has appeared: Notebokcheck has tested a YMTC SSD, which powers a Lenovo ThinkBook 14 laptop.

The rising prices in the tech market affect every aspect of it. Even more affordable laptop lines, like the Lenovo ThinkBook 14 G9 IPL, are becoming more expensive. We compared the current model with the 2025 version to reveal how much more you have to pay now.

Its not just the price: For many 2026 laptops, customers may be better served buying an older 2025 model. The Lenovo ThinkBook 14 G9 IPL has a hard time beating its older counterpart.

If you need a PC, buying one with a good amount of RAM is a good idea. After all, who knows how expensive memory will become? A more affordable laptop like the Lenovo ThinkBook 14 G9 IPL is ideal for this.

The first ThinkPads with Intel's more affordable Wildcat Lake series are here. For that purpose, Lenovo updates the Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 8 and Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 4 with the new Intel Core 3 series CPUs.
