The price-performance ratio of the Lenovo ThinkPad E14 G4 AMD is just right. In our review, the 14-inch business laptop convinces in many respects, such as in strong CPU performance thanks to AMD's Ryzen 7 5825U. At the same time, the cooling system is mostly restrained, while surface temperatures remain cool.
A particular highlight for us is the keyboard, whose travel of 1.8 mm is longer than in most other ThinkPads, including the upcoming Gen 5 of the ThinkPad E series. This will undergo complete design overhaul after 3 years, while our fourth generation review sample is still based on Gen 2 in principle, which is reflected in the ports: although a 1080p webcam is finally onboard and Gigabit RJ45 is optionally included, one of the two USB-A is still in version 2.0, while HDMI 1.4b and DisplayPort 1.2 (via USB-C) do not correspond to modern standards either.
Together with the missing WWAN option, the fingerprint-prone but otherwise very robust case, the lack of a fast-charging function and the slightly higher dimensions and weight, these are some, albeit not necessarily serious, drawbacks you have to live with. Of course, 60% sRGB is also suboptimal, but there is also a display option with 100% sRGB, while the brightness of the matte FHD IPS display is a usable 330 cd/m². On the other hand, there is the low price, which starts at less than EUR 700 (~US$700), depending on the equipment.
