The Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 4 is a balanced device. It’s not a 3 kg powerhouse but its performance is very good given the low weight and the thin profile. Yes, portability is one of the biggest advantages of this machine. At the same time, the P-series CPU can sustain a 32W power limit and decent P and E core clocks under heavy stress. In short and medium loads, these frequencies are higher which results in fast responsiveness for everyday tasks. The comfort during load is good, the single fan isn’t too loud when the CPU is at max load. If not, the notebook is definitely quieter. The base isn’t scorching hot even during gaming – it just feels warm to the touch. Sure, this is a workstation, but the optional dedicated NVIDIA RTX A500 (Laptop, 30W) is fast enough for playing new games on Medium or maybe High settings. The input devices are pleasant.

No glamour, no pomp: Lenovo's small workstation concentrates on its system performance, which is considerable thanks to its AMD Radeon 780M GPU. Its equally exceptional efficiency is reflected in the excellent battery life. All would be well if it weren't for a few unnecessary weaknesses.

The ThinkPad P14s Gen 4 is a great laptop for getting work done. It comes well-equipped for productivity with a display that’s exceptionally easy to see in a wide variety of conditions, both dark and bright. The hardware inside zips along, easily handling everyday computing tasks and even muscling through some heavier lifts. Using the computer is all the more enjoyable thanks to an excellent keyboard that regular typists will love. Being a work machine, there’s a little to be desired design-wise. While recent consumer machines have gotten a glow-up, the ThinkPad P14s Gen 4 still looks fairly utilitarian, is kind of thick, and has chunky bezels around the display (at least the top bezel gives you an IR webcam).

The Lenovo ThinkPad P14s is the smallest ThinkPad workstation. The model ThinkPad P14s Gen 4 Intel has some interesting features that are MIA from its successor, but the battery life suffers due to the inefficient OLED screen - and the cooling system is overwhelmed by the components on the inside.

I’ve been using the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 4 as my main laptop for the past few weeks and I’ve really enjoyed it. One of the biggest things I was worried about was how heavy it was going to be compared to my thin and light laptop that is usually my daily driver. Being just under 3lbs it didn’t really add much extra weight or bulk to my backpack and the 100W power adapter is quite small. The best part of using a laptop like this over something like a more mainstream laptop is the added power you get. First you have the Intel Core i7-1370P vPro processor which handled everything I threw at it from normal every day things like web browsing to more intensive tasks like video editing. On top of that you do get dedicated graphics from NVIDIA’s RTX A500 laptop GPU. Having dedicated graphics takes the load off of your CPU for more GPU-intensive tasks and will speed up things like encoding or rendering.

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.
