From the outside, the ThinkPad P14s Gen 2 is immediately recognizable as a classic ThinkPad. However, a Tiger Lake CPU and the Nvidia Quadro T500 meet the demands of a mobile workstation on the inside. Our review will reveal how successful that is.

When I referred to the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s as a “professional’s perfect companion,” I did mean every bit of it. This is a very powerful laptop that is capable of handling anything you throw at it with ease. Of course, you can’t run graphic intensive games on the highest settings but it is not meant for it anyway. If you want a gaming laptop, there are a gazillion other fantastic options to go with out there in this price range. However, if you are a working professional or an engineering student who has to use AutoCAD and other software, I would highly recommend this to you. The Nvidia Quadro T500 will do wonder for you on that front. nderstanding what you want out of a laptop is really important. Once that is out of the way and understood, the laptop will meet your expectations easily. If you expect it to do things that it is not meant to do, it is downright unfair. The Lenovo ThinkPad P14s does what it was made it to do in the first place, with utmost grace and power. Treat is as the business glass beast that it is and it will blow your mind away!

If performance is the leading factor in your purchase, perhaps the intel version of the ThinkPad P14s Gen 2 is not the best decision. Its cooling system just can’t cope with the Core i7-1185G7, and with the Quadro T500 GPU, as both of them fall beneath their base clocks during long workloads. This means, you won’t be able to extract the maximum out of your device if you are planning to work on large files, that require lots of time to calculate. Ultimately, the I/O is well-populated, and if you happen to need more ports, you can expand it via the docking connector. By the way, some of the ports include two Thunderbolt 4 connectors, and a MicroSD card slot. At the end of the day, the ThinkPad P14s Gen 2 is an expensive device, and truly not a bad one. Its professional hardware offers a lot of possibilities, but heavy computing is not one of them, so you have to keep that in mind.

Lisa Gade reviews the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen. 2, Lenovo’s slimmest and lightest laptop in their mobile workstation line. The Ultrabook has Intel 11th gen quad core CPUs and NVIDIA Quadro T500 graphics with a variety of ISV certifications. The P14s has a lovely 4K wide gamut display option, the expected ThinkPad excellent keyboard and a design that’s Ultrabook rather than mobile workstation. It has Wi-Fi 6E and 4G LTE is optional. Ports are plentiful for a skinny laptop, and include Thunderbolt 4, Ethernet, HDMI and USB-A.

Until now, the 4K UHD displays had a glossy surface in the 14-inch ThinkPads, and the AMD Ryzen models of the ThinkPad T14 and its siblings were not offered with 4K displays at all. This changes now with the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 2 AMD with a Ryzen 5000 and a UHD monitor that has a matte surface to boot.

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.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
NVIDIA T500 Laptop GPU: Entry level dedicated graphics card for professional laptops based on the consumer GeForce MX450 with 896 shaders and a 64 bit memory bus. Therefore it uses the Turing architecture without raytracing and Tensor cores. Sometimes also called Quadro T500.

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.
