Reviews for the Lenovo ThinkBook 14 IML G4
Source: Laptop Mag
The 2-in-1 convertible laptop is a tricky product. Not only does it need good performance and battery life, but it also needs a high-quality display to justify its convertible nature. And while the ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 Gen 4 has a nicely vibrant display, the brightness isn’t up to our expectations. The ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 has excellent battery life and solid Intel Core Ultra 5 125U performance, so it meets the minimum criteria for a good business laptop.

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.

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.
