Lenovo ThinkPad E14 G4 AMD review

88% Lenovo ThinkPad E14 G4 AMD laptop review: Affordable and no major weaknesses

All-rounder? The ThinkPad E14 G4 AMD offers very high performance at a low price and shines in almost every aspect: robust, a great keyboard with 1.8 mm travel, low emissions, a RAM slot as well as two SSD slots and an RJ45 port. On top of this is the quite fairly bright, matte IPS display. Marks deducted from the overall score stem from minor points of criticism.
