ThinkPad T400, T410, T420, T490. Lenovo's ThinkPad T series has followed the same naming scheme for more than a decade. That changes with the Lenovo ThinkPad T14, the latest model in the mainstream ThinkPad series for enterprise customers. But apart from the new name and a small CPU update, which provides a doubtful usefulness, there's not much new.
Lenovo ThinkPad T14-20UD0010GE
Lenovo has been releasing laptops of its ThinkPad T14 series with the intention of delivering a great business laptop. The latest to join the T14 series is the Lenovo ThinkPad T14-20UD0010GE. In terms of its display, this ThinkPad has been equipped with a 14-inch IPS panel with 1920 x 1080 resolution. The Full-HD screen definitely delivers a premium viewing experience for the user. The dimension of this device is 17.9mm x 329mm x 227mm. As far as the weight is concerned, the ThinkPad T14 carries a weight of about 1.46 kg.
In terms of its performance, this model has been equipped with none other than the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U processor. It should be noted that this is actually a processor for thin and light laptops based on the Renoir architecture. The 4650U integrates six cores based on the Zen 2 microarchitecture, and they are clocked from 2.1 (guaranteed base clock) to 4 GHz (Turbo) with SMT / Hyperthreading support (12 threads). Apart from that, the PRO processor offers a range of business features like hardware security (e.g. AMD Memory Guard), manageability (e.g. support for Microsoft Endpoint Manager), and longer availability and software stability. As for the performance itself, it should be similar to the Ryzen 5 4600U which offers similar specifications.
As far as the GPU is concerned, the Lenovo ThinkPad T14-20UD0010GE has been equipped with the AMD Radeon RX Vega 6 (Ryzen 4000) graphics unit. It is worth noting that it is an integrated GPU for notebooks and used in the Ryzen 5 APUs of the Renoir generation (Ryzen 4000 Mobile), which were launched in early 2020. The GPU is actually based on the Vega architecture (5th generation GCN) and has 6 CUs (= 384 of the 704 shaders) clocked at up to 1.500 MHz. Talking about the performance itself, it depends on the configured TDP (12-54 W at launch), the clocks, the cooling system and the memory configuration.
In terms of its connectivity, this laptop comes with two USB-3.0 Gen-1 ports, a single HDMI port, two DisplayPort slots, a 3.5mm audio connection slot, a Card-Reader slot, a microSD slot and two USB Type-C ports for user convenience. Apart from that, there is also a 720p camera built into this ThinkPad T14 model. As for the keyboard, the laptop has been equipped with a chiclet backlit keyboard. The laptop carries a 50Wh Lithium-Polymer battery which offers a runtime of nearly 14 hours. This is definitely great news for users who tend to spend most of the time in a day with their laptop, as there is less need for recharging with this type of battery. Overall, this is definitely a great business laptop to be explored, depending on the choice and preference of the users.

While the ThinkPad T series are generally expensive—the current ThinkPad T480 is priced at almost Php 91k, the Ryzen-powered ThinkPad T14 Gen 1 makes the mainstream ThinkPad line more accessible with a sub-Php 52k price. While it does not have the brightest display and you’re stuck with one USB-C port and a rather unconventional MicroSD card reader, the ThinkPad T14 Gen 1’s Ryzen 5 PRO processor gives it great value for money when it comes to overall performance and stellar battery life.

Now that the new Zen 2 PRO CPUs have been released, there is a huge deal of hardware security sewn into the pure performance. We are talking about features like the AMD Memory Guard and the AMD Secure Processor, both of which greatly reduce the vulnerabilities of data leaks, by encrypting the memory, as well as providing additional security in terms of storage and processing.

Once again, Lenovo "only" updates its T-series with a new CPU. However, the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 2 boasts a more promising CPU upgrade. After all, Tiger Lake is a much more extensive update than last-gen CPUs. However, the new ThinkPad laptop is not entirely flawless.

The ThinkPad runs Windows 10 Pro on Intel Core i5 and i7 11th gen Tiger Lake U series 28 watt CPUs with Iris Xe graphics and optional vPro. It’s also available with AMD Ryzen Pro 5 5650 and 7 5850 processors. The laptop is available with and without a touchscreen in full HD and 4K resolutions and 4G LTE is optional while Wi-Fi 6E is standard. This slim and light Ultrabook isn’t as light as the ThinkPad X1 Carbon 9th gen, but it makes up for it with a lower price tag, greater key travel and more ports including Ethernet.

Lenovo: Lenovo ( "Le" as in the English word legend and "novo" (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. From 2004, the company has been the largest laptop manufacturer in China and got the fourth largest manufacturer worldwide after the acquisition of IBM's PC division in 2005. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company also produces monitors, projectors, servers, etc.
In 2011, Lenovo acquired the majority of Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Lenovo took over Motorola Mobility, which gave them a boost in the smartphone market.
From 2014 to 2016 Lenovo's market share in the global notebook market was 20-21%, ranking second behind HP. However, the distance decreased gradually. In the smartphone market, Lenovo did not belong to the Top 5 global manufacturers in 2016.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

1.32 kg:
In former time,s this weight was typical for big tablets, small subnotebooks, ultrabooks and convertibles with a 10-11 inch display-diagonal. Nowadays, often 15 inch laptops weigh as much.
1.492 kg:
88.04%: This is a good rating above average. Nevertheless you should not forget, that 10-15% of all notebook-models get a better rating.
