Differences between T14 AMD and T14s AMD (both gen 1)

My Lenovo Thinkpad 13 gen 2 is due for replacement due to poor case durability8. I am having a hard time deciding between these two. T14: [https://laptops.dk/lenovo-thinkpad-t14-gen-1-amd-p7023](https://laptops.dk/lenovo-thinkpad-t14-gen-1-amd-p7023) T14s: [https://laptops.dk/lenovo-thinkpad-t14s-gen-1-p7022](https://laptops.dk/lenovo-thinkpad-t14s-gen-1-p7022)

Differences I know (or at least think I know) so far. \* T14s has 1 cpu heatpipe where the T14 has 2 I am unsure if this has any effect when using the AMD chips?

\* T14s is lighter not a big concern for me as it will mostly be a homeoffice laptop

\* T14s has all memory soldered where T14 has 1 soldered slot and 1 user replaceable slot. If durability is good this might be an issue. Current laptop has 24Gb and is used for container-based development workflows. How big a performance impact is it to lose the dualchannel memory of the T14 by not using the same size memory modules?

For home office I am using a USB-C dock, so access to a RJ-45 port on the laptop is not a concern for me.

What am I missing in my comparison?
