[REVIEW] Lenovo ThinkBook 14 Gen 4 - Is Lenovo going overboard with the comfort

Lenovo ThinkBook 14 Gen 4 review – business in style
Source: Laptop Media
Lenovo ThinkBook 14 Gen 4’s IPS panel has a Full HD resolution, comfortable viewing angles, and a very good contrast ratio. The color coverage is quite limited (53% of sRGB), which makes the image look a bit dull. However, the backlight doesn’t use PWM for brightness adjustment. This results in a comfortable viewing experience at every brightness level. Unfortunately, the battery life is not good. At least with the smaller 45Wh package. We got 5 hours and 30 minutes of either Web browsing, or video playback. This is nearly a two-hour decrease compared to last year. Now, we can’t pass up the opportunity to mention the performance. It is not bad, but at the same time, could have been a lot better. With laptops like this one, you mostly rely on short-burst loads, where high clock speeds are pretty much essential. Yes, the device is chewing through every daily task you can think of, but you can never have even more speed, right? One thing that could have not even wished to be better is the port selection. You get plenty of USBs, one of which is a Thunderbolt 4 port. Add a LAN port, an HDMI connector, and an SD card reader, and you get all of the MacBook users in the office to envy you badly. Overall, what is really important in our view, is that the ThinkBook 14 Gen 4 is really comfortable to use. Its keyboard is spill-resistant and is a breeze, the display doesn’t strain your eyes excessively, and there is very little fan noise and heat coming from it. We think that it is a great addition to your workflow… provided you don’t need long battery life.

First Impressions: Lenovo ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 Gen 4
Source: Trusted Reviews
The Lenovo ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 Gen 4 may not catch too many eyes with its looks but its specifications and feature set points towards a machine that could be a dream for hybrid workers. The versatility of this device being a 2-in-1 and coming with a handy stylus too make it all the more interesting for productivity and creative workloads. This laptop is set to debut in May 2024, with a competitive starting price of €1,099. No word on UK and US pricing at the time of writing.

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.

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.
