Two years after the first Snapdragon ThinkPad, Lenovo releases a new variant. The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 offers excellent battery life numbers, but compatibility can still be problematic in some cases.

The Lenovo Thinkpad T14s Gen 6 is a new premium Snapdragon laptop that gets a lot of the fundamentals right. It has a truly great keyboard, brilliant battery life and a design that means you can take it anywhere. Its Achilles heel is software support, Arm on Windows, after seven years, still isn’t ready for the big time, and many popular programmes will refuse to run. As such, the Lenovo is a proof of concept, but not ready to fit into creator workflows.

Prices for the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 start at $1,598, which is about what you'd expect from a ThinkPad with this level of hardware. I highly recommend the laptop to professionals (or anyone really) who want a lightweight powerhouse that can handle a wide array of office and productivity workloads. You can also configure this machine with higher-end components, including a 1TB SSD, but that will bring the price up to around $1,600. If you prefer something cheaper with a solid chipset, Lenovo is selling the ThinkPad T14s with a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite chipset, starting at $1,181.

With a few notable exceptions, the recent history of laptops has been a two-sided affair between Intel and AMD. Microsoft did dip its toes into ARM-based machines infamously with the Surface RT, a machine that ran a compiled-for-ARM version of Windows 8.1. The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 isn't remotely similar to that device, which couldn't run Win32 applications. Instead, this is a conventional laptop running Windows 11 Pro 24H2 for ARM. While there will always be issues running Intel X64 code in emulation, the advantages of Snapdragon X are well represented by the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6. If you hate running out of battery power, then this is the laptop for you.

Lenovo's ThinkPad lineup continues to impress, particularly with the ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 featuring Snapdragon. I have been a fan of the ThinkPad series for years, and appreciation won't fade soon. The ThinkPad T14s is part of the T series, positioning it as a business ultrabook with enterprise features geared more towards professionals than casual users or entry-level business laptops. We're big fans of the AMD-powered Gen 4 (see out Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 4 business laptop review). But how does the Gen 6 Snapdragon stack up against some of the best Lenovo ThinkPad laptops? Well, this model boasts excellent ports, outstanding battery life, a fanless design, and a strong balance of power, weight, and battery performance. Additionally, it offers a decent display for business purposes. This laptop is excellent for what it's meant to be great for, and that's a good thing.

The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 is in many ways the perfect business laptop, despite a few flaws. It offers strong overall performance, incredible battery life, and a lightweight design, the three traits that are arguably the most important for professionals. This laptop is light enough to bring on your commute with ease and has the power and battery life to keep up with everyday work tasks without needing a charger during your lunch break. Of course, the ThinkPad T14s isn’t perfect and its flaws could be deal breakers. For instance, it had very weak graphics performance in our benchmark tests. Its Snapdragon processor may also face compatibility issues with certain apps and games.

The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 (14″ Snapdragon) is a well-built machine that could be a dream come true for professionals on the go who need a good AI performance. In addition to that, the battery has enough juice for almost 20 hours of videos despite the modest 58Wh capacity. This laptop’s adequate input devices and nice comfort under load, make it an ideal portable machine. The 1200p IPS touchscreen (NV140WUM-T08 (LEN403D)) is PWM-free, has wide viewing angles, and 400 nits of max brightness. That’s all you need for normal home or office work. If you want better color coverage, the optional 2.8K OLED unit will do the job if money isn’t a problem. Since there is a Snapdragon SoC under the bonnet, it’s not a secret that the upgradability is limited. You can change the NVMe drive, that’s all.

There's plenty to love about the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 – from its immense power to long-lasting battery life. While there are a couple of minor downsides to picking this up, including the lack of detail in the display as well as the unsightly chassis, its build quality and lightness more than make up for it. It also features narrower bezels than older ThinkPad devices and is available in an OLED configuration – which means these minor bugbears are easy to resolve. For a starting retail price of £1,600, it's a great piece of enterprise machinery that will help you unlock higher levels of productivity in a package that may, in previous generations, cost so much more.

The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 could be a brilliant laptop in the right hands. It’s not a high-performance workhorse and the variable performance it sees in different conditions makes it a little hard to rely on for speed. Some of that volatility may get ironed out as Snapdragon laptop chips spend a little more time in the real world. In spite of this, the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 still remains a consistent machine in lighter tasks, likely thanks to the extra memory Lenovo is essentially insisting on. Beyond that, this is a high-utility laptop. The keyboard is OK. The display isn’t the sharpest or most gorgeous, but ensures visibility in most conditions.

We wish the 2.8K OLED screen and 4G or 5G mobile broadband options were available now, but except for that and the webcam bug (which subtracts half a star), we find few faults with the ThinkPad T14s Gen 6. Assuming its price doesn't suddenly skyrocket again, it's a tad heavier than the ThinkPad X1 Carbon but also slightly cheaper, earning an Editors' Choice nod in its own right. Qualcomm versus Intel and AI aside, it's a genuine alternative to the legendary X1 Carbon. Our laptop praise doesn't get any higher than that.

The new Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 AMD with the Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360 delivers a great balance between performance and efficiency, outperforming the ThinkPad T14s Gen 5 Intel on both counts.

The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 impresses for those looking for a reliable business laptop with plenty of power, a sublime port selection and one of the most comfortable keyboards on a laptop today. It also provides decent endurance and fantastic build quality, although its screen is lacking against similarly-priced rivals. For a similar outlay, you get can sleek ultrabooks such as the Asus Zenbook S 16 (2024) which provide the benefit of a larger and higher-res OLED panel for an even better viewing experience, and a little more in terms of power. With this in mind, the ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 gets the job done for business users that want a reliable, lightweight laptop with good ports and decent power inside. For more options, check out our list of the best laptops we’ve tested.

The T14s remains a worthy representative of the ThinkPad series, even if it no longer carries the aura of indestructibility it once had. Nevertheless, the build quality is still excellent and holds its own against any competitor. Lenovo has proven that image quality doesn’t necessarily depend on high resolution—the T14s’s display delivers impressive visuals. All included equipment met our expectations, aside from the somewhat limited SSD capacity. A 5G modem for on-the-go network access is a rare feature in this segment, giving the T14s an edge. Battery life is sufficient for more power-demanding tasks. However, at a starting price of $1,600, this should be expected, especially considering the range of alternatives available at this price point. For those who prefer something a little more flamboyant, Lenovo’s broader lineup offers plenty of eye-catching options.

The ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 is a very nice laptop with one glaring flaw. It’s built well, looks good, has a great keyboard and strong performance, and it’s perfect for large companies with a lot of laptops to manage. At the same time, its battery life isn’t great. And, it’s a bit expensive, although large commercial customers who buy it will do so at better group purchase prices. So it’s an easy laptop to recommend for commercial buyers but not as easy for mainstream users.

Qualcomm, AMD and Intel - the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 is a laptop that can be configured with every available option. The Intel Lunar Lake model we test today may be the best yet, striking the ideal balance between great everyday performance and efficiency.
Comment
Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.
In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.
In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
Qualcomm Adreno X1-85 3.8 TFLOPS: An integrated graphics adapter that four Qualcomm Snapdragon X processors feature, as of Sep 2024. It has 1,536 unified shaders at its disposal that are said to run at up to 1,250 MHz. The underlying architecture is reportedly in many respects the same as what was used in the Adreno 730. While thankfully faster than the aging Intel Iris Xe (96 EUs), the Adreno fails to match the Radeon 780M meaning Baldur's Gate 3, a triple-A title released in 2023, is barely playable at 1080p on low with 23 fps on average. Triple-A games of 2024 fare even worse, in no small part due to Qualcomm's subpar graphics drivers.
AMD Radeon 880M: A fairly powerful RDNA 3.5 architecture iGPU that debuted in June 2024 and a direct successor to the Radeon 780M. Its 12 CUs/WGPs (768 unified shaders) run at up to 2,900 MHz. DX12 Ultimate, ray tracing, AI image generation and other modern features are all supported here, as are many popular video codecs including first and foremost AVC, HEVC, VP9 and AV1. Its gaming performance is good enough for playing 2024 games such as Once Human and The First Descendant at 1080p on low graphics settings.
Intel Arc 130V: An integrated graphics adapter that lower-end Intel Lunar Lake family processors employ. This is a direct successor to the Arc 7 iGPU; DirectX 12 Ultimate is fully supported here and the iGPU also supports hardware-decoding a long list of popular video codecs such as h.266 VVC, h.265 HEVC, h.264 AVC, AV1 and VP9. It is clear the 130V isn't fast enough to run most triple-A 2024 games at 1080p. However, it's still more than good enough for an occasional gaming session Helldivers 2 and Ready or Not run perfectly well at 1080p / Low.

Qualcomm Snapdragon X:
SD X Elite X1E-78-100: A pretty fast ARM architecture processor (SoC) for use in Windows laptops. The X1E-78-100 is the least powerful member of the Snapdragon X Elite processor series, as of May 2024; as such, it has 12 Oryon CPU cores running at no more than 3.4 GHz and the 3.8 TFLOPS Adreno X1-85 GPU. The 45 TOPS Hexagon NPU, an impressively fast LPDDR5x-8448 memory controller, USB 4.0 support, TB 4 support and PCIe 4 support are included as well.
AMD Strix Halo/Point (Zen 5/5c, Ryzen AI 300):
Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360: A relatively powerful Strix Point family processor that debuted in October 2024. The hybrid architecture APU features 8 CPU cores (a mix of Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores) running at up to 5.0 GHz, along with the Radeon 880M graphics adapter and the 50 TOPS XDNA 2 neural engine. The AMD Secure Processor (which in a nutshell is an on-package ARM co-processor) is onboard as well as are a few other higher-end features, such as AMD-Vi. Other key features include PCIe 4, USB 4 and up to LPDDR5x-8000 RAM support, including ECC RAM. The long-term TDP power target can be as high as 55 W.
Intel Lunar Lake:
Core Ultra 5 228V: One of the 2 slowest Lunar Lake processors as of Nov 2024. It features 4 new Skymont E-cores and 4 new Lion Cove P-cores running at up to 3.5 GHz and 4.5 GHz respectively, along with the new Arc 130V iGPU and 32 GB of on-package LPDDR5x-8533 RAM. The 228V's level 3 cache is pretty small as compared to more expensive Ultra 7 2xxV and Ultra 9 2xxV chips at 8 MB vs 12 MB. Its multi-thread performance is very close to the R7 7730U and the R7 7735U, and it eats up to 37 W in short-term loads.

14.00:
14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact.
In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.
