Reviews for the Lenovo ThinkBook 14 G8 IRL
Source: PC World
The Lenovo ThinkBook 14 is a laptop stuck in the past. From its display to its design, to its battery life and performance, nothing about it feels modern. Even its perks are countered by trade-offs that don’t work to its benefit. It has the physical connectivity that a prosumer or frequent flier might want to connect to anything they encounter on the road, but it lacks the performance and battery life to be a great travel companion. It has a keyboard that is great for long typing sessions, but the display is often too dim to easily see what’s on screen. The real problem, however, is that it faces competitors that do better in nearly every metric, aside from connectivity. That’s what ultimately sinks the laptop’s fortunes: if you’ve got about $800 to spend, you’ve no shortage of much better options, from the Asus’ Zenbook 14 to Lenovo’s own Ideapad models. And that’s to say nothing of Apple’s MacBook Air 13, which, if you’re ok with MacOS, is quicker, lighter, delivers far better battery life.
