Reviews for the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 G5, Ultra 5 125U
Source: Laptop Media
The Intel version of the ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 is a well-built office machine with a capable keyboard, modern port selection, and snappy performance. That’s due to the high clocks of the CPU which is impressive given the single-heat pipe thermal system with a quiet fan. The 1200p screen (NV140WUM-N49 (LEN403D)) is a regular IPS model that is good enough for work. The unit is PWM-free and offers a pretty high max brightness of 455 nits. If you want better sRGB coverage, look for a machine with the optional 2.2K or 2.8K OLED variants. For future upgrades, you can rely on a pair of SODIMMs for DDR5-5600MHz RAM. However, we don’t like the fact that the Wi-Fi card is soldered and the limited storage capabilities because of the single M.2 slot. Still, the ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 is one of the best devices in its class thanks to the adequate built quality, the very long battery life, and the many security features.

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.
