Reviews for the Lenovo ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 G4 IML
The ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 G4 is a no-frills convertible spruced up with Intel's latest 14th gen Meteor Lake CPUs. It's comfortable, travel-friendly and easy to use, but graphics performance is a little slow relative to the $1200 asking price.

It’s hard to find any major cons regarding the Lenovo ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 Gen 4. It’s a solid aluminum transformer with a smooth 360°C hinge and a premium to-the-touch build. The keyboard is suitable for work and the same can be said about the accurate touchpad. The comfort during max loads is great. The top side of the main body doesn’t get hot and the fan isn’t noisy. At the same time, the P and E cores of the Core Ultra 5 125U boost to around 2.75 GHz / 2.20 GHz which is a good result for a small 2-in-1 laptop. The 1200p IPS touchscreen (LEN140WUXGA (LEN81A2)) impresses with 97% sRGB coverage, wide viewing angles, and a lack of PWM usage. The color accuracy went from zero to hero with the aid of our “Design and Gaming” profile because it reached an average dE score of 1.2.

Lenovo’s latest ThinkBook is sleek, sturdy, and a delight to carry around. The 2-in-1 design lets you reorient the machine to make better use of the touchscreen display, and I appreciate that Lenovo includes the Slim Pen even if Windows 11 isn’t always great at stylus input. It’s not the fastest computer you can buy, but it’s more than good enough for browsing, writing, spreadsheets, video, and anything else you’re likely to do at work. You should have no problem getting in a full workday with the Lenovo ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 Gen 4, even if you forget the charger at home. If you do somehow manage to drain the battery, you can recharge with almost any USB-C plug, possibly even the one you use for your phone if it supplies enough power.

The Lenovo ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 Gen 4 is a few ounces heavier and its screen a shade duller than ideal, but it delivers superb build quality, an excellent keyboard, and plenty of ports for a low price. This ThinkBook earns our Editors' Choice award as a winning small-office or home-office convertible.
