Reviews for the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 G4 21K4S02000
The ThinkPad T series is one of the most important parts of Lenovo's enterprise PC portfolio. Corporate purchasers get the choice: AMD or Intel for their client. There are arguments for both - with efficiency being on the side of the ThinkPad T14 Gen 4 AMD.

The AMD-based ThinkPad T14 Gen 4 prioritizes user comfort, with a focus on quieter operation, rather than pushing for peak performance. The Ryzen 7 PRO 7840U can’t reach its base clock even in short stress. On the flip side, the fan is almost quiet, and the keyboard doesn’t become scorching hot during 3D rendering. Despite the not-so-good processor clocks, this notebook doesn’t feel slow at all for normal work. Speaking of which, the input devices are very good. The only complaint here is that you have to pay more for a keyboard backlight. The 1200p IPS screen (NV140WUM-N43 (LEN403D)) is okay for standard, unpretentious usage. It’s a PWM-free display with wide viewing angles and 317 nits of maximum brightness.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
