The Lenovo ThinkPad T14/T14s (Intel) Gen 2 was introduced in 2020. It features a 14" screen, 11th-gen Intel Core processors, and integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics. Everything seems to work pretty much out the box with kernel >=5.16.0.

To ensure you have this version, install the package dmidecode and run:

    # dmidecode -s system-version

## Firmware

### fwupd

fwupd supports updating the UEFI BIOS, NVMe SSD, and fingerprint reader (via the LVFS testing remote) out of the box.

## Intel Turbo Boost

Check that Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 is enabled using

    $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo

An output of 1 means it is not enabled, so you will have to reset your BIOS to defaults. After doing that, running the command again should print 0. You should be able to see your CPU boosting way higher.

## Suspend

The BIOS has two options for suspend: Windows and Linux (aka S0ix or "modern standby") and Linux S3. Both S0ix and S3 modes work on this system, but there is a bug that causes the trackpad to become laggy after resuming from S3 suspend.

## Sound

This laptop requires firmware in order for the sound card to work. Installing sof-firmware seems to be enough to get audio working. See Advanced Linux Sound Architecture#ALSA firmware.
