Lenovo ThinkPad L14 Gen 5 (Intel) review – Quiet Power
Source: Laptop Media English
Despite being a small 14-inch machine, the Lenovo ThinkPad L14 Gen 5 offers on-point performance and tons of useful features. Aside from the modest-looking cooling system, the fan is quiet even when the CPU is pushed to its limits for a longer time. In this case, the Core Ultra 7 155U reaches a P and E-core clock of 2.26 GHz / 1.87 GHz which is a respectable result. The pair of SODIMMs make this small gadget future-proof. You also get a plethora of USB ports alongside optional goodies such as a Nano-SIM card slot and Smart Card reader. Our laptop is entirely made of plastic but it feels pretty solid. If you prefer a more premium feel, consider a device with a metal lid. The keyboard is comfortable and ideal for extended typing sessions.

联想 ThinkPad L14 第 5 代(英特尔)评测 – Quiet Power
Source: Laptop Media English
尽管是一款 14 英寸的小机器,联想 ThinkPad L14 Gen 5 却提供了出色的性能和大量实用功能。除了外观中规中矩的散热系统外,即使 CPU 长时间处于极限运行状态,风扇也能保持安静。在这种情况下,酷睿至尊 7 155U 的 P 核和 E 核频率分别达到 2.26 GHz 和 1.87 GHz,这是一个可观的成绩。一对 SODIMM 使这个小玩意面向未来。除 Nano-SIM 卡插槽和智能卡读卡器等可选配件外,还提供了大量 USB 端口。我们的笔记本电脑完全由塑料制成,但感觉非常坚固。如果你喜欢更高级的感觉,可以考虑金属盖的设备。键盘非常舒适,适合长时间打字。1200p IPS 显示屏(NV140WUM-N49 (LEN403D))在色彩准确度方面表现并不突出,但它具备舒适工作所需的所有 “要素”–无 PWM、广视角和 442 尼特的最大亮度。电池续航时间是笔记本电脑的亮点,因为它的视频播放时间接近 14 小时。基于英特尔的 ThinkPad L14 凭借其丰富的端口选择、超长的电池续航时间以及最大负载下的舒适性给人留下了深刻印象。
Positive: Tough device; high performance; good cooling and silent system; beautiful display; modern connectivity; decent ergonomics; powerful processor; fast SSD storage. Negative: Overheats while using; only one M.2 slot and one USB 2.0 port.

Comment

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.
