Reviews for the Lenovo ThinkBook 14 G7 IML, Ultra 5 125U

Lenovo ThinkBook 14 Gen 7 (Intel) Review – Superb Performance for Such a Compact Device
Source: Laptop Media English
The Lenovo ThinkBook 14 Gen 7 is a small machine that performs as a 16-inch business device. This is great news for professionals who travel a lot since the battery life is also long even with the base model with a 45W capacity (~10 hours of videos). When the Core Ultra 5 125U is loaded at max for a long time, you can expect a 3.02 GHz / 2.39 GHz P and E core clock which is a superb result for such a compact device. These frequencies are even higher than the ones of the ThinkBook 16 Gen 7 with the same CPU. In addition to that, the fan isn’t noisy and the keyboard becomes just warm when the processor is doing the heavy lifting. The 60Hz IPS display (LEN140WUXGA (LEN9125)) is good enough for normal office work.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

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.
