This is a 14-inch ThinkPad T14s with an AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 processor and Radeon 880M graphics, 32 GB of RAM, and a 1 TB NVMe SSD. The display is Full HD+ (1920 x 1200) with a 16:10 aspect ratio, and I’m guessing it’s the same entry-level and low-power IPS panel the previous T14s came with. Expansion looks identical, too. There are two Thunderbolt 4/USB4 Type-C ports and a full-sized HDMI port (plus a combo microphone/headphone jack) on the left, and then two full-sized USB 3 Type-A ports on the right, plus a Kensington nano security slot. Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.3 are available for connectivity, as with the Snapdragon version. There are two top-firing speakers, with grills on either side of the keyboard, that support Dolby Atmos immersive sound. And that keyboard is full-sized and backlit, and appears to be Lenovo’s most modern version, with island-style scalloped keys, correct Ctrl/Fn placement, and an overloaded arrow key area with physical PgUp and PgDn keys. The T14s features Lenovo’s vaunted TrackPoint pointing system, with the nubbin in the center of the keyboard and dedicated keys, plus a small-ish (for these days) mechanical touchpad. The round power button to the upper right of the keyboard doubles as a Windows Hello Enhanced Sign-In Security (ESS) fingerprint reader, and there’s a Windows Hello ESS compatible webcam too, of course: This is, or soon will be, a full-featured Copilot+ PC. All the useful ThinkPad bits are present and accounted for, from the light-up red dot on the “i” in the ThinkPad logo on the exterior display lid to the subtle Lenovo branding. It comes in one color, Eclipse Black, as one should expect from a ThinkPad. It’s light for a 14-inch laptop, at just 2.86 pounds. Power comes via a standard 65-watt Lenovo USB-C power adapter. Prices start at about $1500 for a model with 32 GB of RAM, 256 GB of storage, and the non-touch display. I’m loading it up with apps as I write this, but I’m eager to get started. More soon.

The new legislation will be a strong motivation for some to join up, experts said, as Russia seeks new ways to recruit fighters for the nearly three-year conflict grinding through troops. The new legislation will allow those who sign a one-year contract to fight in Ukraine after December 1 to free themselves of existing bad debts. It also covers their spouses. The law concerns debts where a court order for collection was issued and enforcement proceedings began before December 1, 2024. The total amount of unpaid debt that can be covered is 10 million rubles, around $96,000 at current rates. Parliament approved the bill earlier this month. The legislation will largely concern younger Russians of fighting age, since those in their 30s and younger are most likely to have loans. Russia has extremely high interest rates for loans and many Russians have almost no cash savings, although the proportion of home owners is relatively high. "Previously (for those fighting) there was only provision for taking repayment holidays on loans," Sergei Krivenko of advocacy group Citizen Army Law told Vazhniye Istorii Telegram channel. The new legislation applies to those who are conscripted for national service and those mobilised for the so-called "special military operation", Krivenko said. Conscripts cannot be sent to the front line but can choose to sign a contract to join the professional army and be sent to fight in Ukraine. Russian authorities "are strengthening the motivation to sign a contract," political analyst Georgy Bovt wrote on Telegram. The legislation provides "another way to get rid of an unbearable burden of credit, at least for several hundred thousand people," Bovt wrote. Over 13 million Russians have three or more loans, according to a central bank report released last month covering the first two quarters. This was up 20 percent on the same period last year. The average amount owed by those with three or more loans is 1.4 million rubles ($13,400 at current rates). Many start with a bank loan and then apply for further loans from microfinance organisations. Russians serving on the front line are already paid far more than the national average. Ukraine also has legislation allowing those fighting to get preferential terms for loans and in some cases to write off debts. bur/twTandy Leather Factory Announces Agreement to Sell Headquarters Facilities
