Lenovo ThinkPad T14 G3 review - Business laptop is worse with Intel and Nvidia

We already tested the ThinkPad T14 G3 version with the AMD Ryzen 7 Pro including the fast Radeon 680M iGPU extensively, but Lenovo also continues to offer the 14-inch business laptop with Intel processors and optional Nvidia GeForce GPU. With the 21AJS00400 model, we now have such a representative combining the Alder Lake Core i7-1260P with the GeForce MX550 on our test bench. We can neglect the fact that a Raptor Lake processor isn't used here yet, since the performance increase would only be small, as we were already able to see.
Basically, the AMD and the Intel model share the same case and input devices, webcam, and speakers. In the following test, we will therefore mainly concentrate on the question which version is better and whether the additional graphics card is really still worthwhile.

Differences to the ThinkPad T14 G3 AMD
Aside from the different stickers on the palm rest, there are no differences in the exterior of the two ThinkPad T14 versions, so we refer you to our extensive test of the AMD model on this. The basic connections are also the same, but while Lenovo forgoes USB 4.0 in the AMD model, the Intel-version comes with two USB-C connections that support Thunderbolt 4.
With the AX211 WLAN card, the Intel model also supports the modern 6-GHz network, but we were unable to connect to the corresponding network using our reference network router during the test. However, the performance in the regular 5G network was also very good. Our test unit is WWAN ready, and the Nano-SIM slot in the back as well as the necessary antennas for the LTE module are already in place.

Maintenance
There is also a difference in the internal layout. While Lenovo delivers the AMD model exclusively with soldered RAM without offering any expansion capabilities to the user, the situation looks different for the Intel model. In addition to a soldered module (16 GB in our case), there is also a free SO-DIMM slot, bringing the possible total amount of RAM up to 48 GB.
Display - The panel lottery continues
As already in previous ThinkPad models, Lenovo also uses various panel manufacturers for the current models. Although both of our test units are equipped with the 14-inch LowPower Full-HD panel, there are differences here, even if the basic technical specifications of both versions (or even more, since there were up to 4 versions in the past) are kept. In contrast to the LG panel of our previous AMD test unit, our current Intel test unit uses a panel from AUO, which subjectively isn't completely convincing, since bright areas appear slightly grainy. The response times are also significantly slower here, and there are some visible ghosting effects, for example when moving the mouse pointer. However, PWM is not used here either.
The same goes for the brightness, which turns out lower than that of the LG model. However, it still reaches the advertised 400 cd/m². Thanks to the low black value, the contrast ratio offers no reason for complaint. Our test unit doesn't have any problems with clouding or screen bleeding, not even at the highest brightness level.

* ... smaller is better
We measured the panel with the professional CalMAN software (X-Rite i1 Pro 2). Even though there is a slight color tint toward green/blue in the state of delivery, this is not very apparent in everyday operation, and the results are already decent for a business laptop. With our own calibration (color profile available for free download from the link above), we are able to further improve the color reproduction. In combination with the complete sRGB color space coverage, the panel is quite suitable for the occasional image or video processing task.

Performance - Alder Lake and GeForce MX550
Test Conditions
The Lenovo Vantage App offers an "Intelligent Cooling" mode, but in our test this had a negative effect on the performance after a short time. We therefore deactivated this mode for our benchmarks and measurements (either via app or using the Fn+T key combination).
Processor - Core i7-1260P
We already know the Core i7-1260P of the Alder Lake generation, and with its 4 fast performance cores and 8 efficiency cores, the performance is very good, but the Intel processor also consumes a lot of power with this. In the ThinkPad T14 G3, the processor is allowed to consume a maximum up to 58 watts and constant 42 watts. The single-core performance is better than that of the AMD model, while the multicore performance is comparable.
Cinebench R15 Multi Constant Load Test
The performance overall remains relatively stable in the Cinebench loop. What is also interesting here is the comparison with the new Raptor Lake Core i7-1360P, which has an advantage in the first run but then drops to the level of the older Alder Lake processors. Only the single-core performance remains slightly better, but overall, you can also choose the Core i7-1260P without any concerns.
In battery operation, the processor is allowed to consume a maximum of 32 watts, leading to a performance reduction of ~30% in the multicore tests. You can find additional benchmarks in our technical section.

System Performance
In practice, the Intel version of the ThinkPad T14 G3 is also a very responsive laptop, and we were unable to notice any problems. However, our test unit only shows an average performance in the synthetic benchmarks. This is mainly due to the bad storage performance, since the working memory only operates in a single-channel configuration.

DPC Latencies
In our standardized latency test (surfing the Internet, 4K YouTube video reproduction, and CPU load), the test unit with its current BIOS version shows some significant limitations for usage in real-time audio applications. But there might also be some limitations created by the Nvidia driver, since there have been problems in this regard for several driver versions. The AMD model of the T14 G3 did not have any problems here.

Storage solution
Our test unit uses the 1-TB version of the Samsung PM9A1, which is the OEM variant of the 980 Pro. While the PCIe 4.0 SSD offers very good transfer rates, the rates drop after some time under constant load. However, this has no impact in everyday business operation. After the first startup, there are 904 GB of storage space available to the user. You can find additional SSD benchmarks here.
