Lenovo ThinkPad T14s G2 AMD Laptop Review: Ultrabook Efficiency Meets Workstation Power

Black box with AMD efficiency inside. Despite its redesign the ThinkPad T-series premium model comes with a 16:9 display for the final time in its life. Its input devices continue to excite, and overall efficiency was improved dramatically thanks to AMD's Cezanne-generation resulting in lower emissions, longer battery life, and a higher level of performance.

The ThinkPad T14s G2 is successor to the popular T14s and is only second in popularity to Lenovo’s own T-series ThinkPad without the “s” suffix. We had the Intel SKU in review recently, and now it is time to take a closer look at the AMD model. Our review unit, model number 20XGS01100 is made for the European educational market and very well equipped. For slightly under 1,500 Euros you get an AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 5850U 8-core CPU, 32 GB of soldered LPDDR4X RAM, a Vega 8 iGPU, a 1 TB large NVMe SSD, and a 400 nits FHD IPS low-power display.

Considering that the case is identical to its Intel-equipped sibling we would like to refer you to our review of the ThinkPad T14s Gen2 Intel if you want to find out more about its case, connectivity, input devices, and speakers.

Its main competitors are the HP EliteBook 845, Dell’s Latitude 14 5420, the Intel-equipped T14s G2, the X1 Carbon G9, and last but not least its immediate AMD-equipped predecessor. Another potential rival is Lenovo’s own ThinkPad X13 Gen2 (AMD).

Communication

Our review unit came equipped with a Realtek Wi-Fi modem that performed significantly worse than its predecessor’s Intel AX200. In fact it performed so poorly that it did not manage to break last place. Keep in mind, however, that some SKUs come with Intel, Qualcomm, or MediaTek Wi-Fi modems instead.

Among the six display options we finally find a 4K display for Lenovo’s AMD-powered 14-inch ThinkPad. Our review unit came with the 400 nits FHD low-power display, the very panel same that we also found in our T14s G2 Intel SKU. More information can be found in that review. 

  • FHD (1920 x 1080), IPS, 250 cd/m², 45 % NTSC, matte
  • FHD (1920 x 1080), IPS, 300 cd/m², 45 % NTSC, matte
  • FHD (1920 x 1080), IPS, 300 cd/m², 45 % NTSC, matte, touch
  • FHD (1920 x 1080), IPS, 400 cd/m², 72 % NTSC, matte, low-power
  • FHD (1920 x 1080), IPS, 500 cd/m², 72 % NTSC, matte, PrivacyGuard & touch
  • 4K UHD (3840 x 2160), IPS, 500 cd/m², 100 % AdobeRGB, glossy, Dolby Vision™ HDR

Keep in mind that the low-power display is manufactured by a total of three different OEMs, and that overall quality can vary immensely. For example, our review unit’s panel was by far the worst of the three. This display lottery is not new for Lenovo. In addition, low-power displays tend to suffer from ghosting. We found some backlight bleeding, but it was nowhere near bright enough to be noticeable in everyday use. AMD Freesync is supported at frequencies between 48 and 60 Hz to prevent screen tearing.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
56 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 26 ms rise

The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 99 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21.5 ms).

This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (33.7 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM detected 2451 Hz
≤ 50 cd/m² brightness

The display backlight flickers at 2451 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 50 cd/m² and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 2451 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering.

As the flickering occurs only on very low brightness settings, it should not be an issue in typical office settings. Nonetheless, use in low light conditions may be straining to the eyes.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 17903 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

The ThinkPad T14s turned out to be very usable outdoors thanks to its matte display and its display brightness of up to 400 nits. However, it was nowhere near bright enough to remain usable in bright and direct sunlight.

As is common for IPS panels its viewing angles are around 170°, and the optional 4K display offers up to 178°. Only an OLED display would be able to offer even more.

Performance – ThinkPad T14s with Efficient 8-Core CPU

Various CPU options are available for the ThinkPad T14s, ranging from quad to octa-cores and paired with either a Vega 7 or Vega 8 iGPU powerful enough for office applications, multiple simultaneous high-resolution video streams, and even occasional gaming.

Unfortunately, like on the previous two generations RAM is soldered onto the motherboard and cannot be upgraded. A total of 32 GB LPDDR4X-4267 (around 7 % faster than DDR4-3200) should be enough for most users though. Unlike the Intel SKU, which supports quad-channel RAM, the AMD model’s RAM is dual-channel-only (see the AIDA64 Memory Benchmark results below for more details). Unlike the RAM the M.2-2280 SSD can be replaced and upgraded.

Processor

AMD’s Ryzen 7 Pro 5850U runs between 1.9 and 4.4 GHz and features eight cores with a total of 16 threads. For about one second it runs at 8x 3 GHz and consumes 30 W of power, and even though the ThinkPad’s cooler would have been capable of maintaining that high level of boost for much longer Lenovo’s fan curves are very conservative in favor of lower noise emissions. Consequently, after that initial second the CPU powered down to a still more than adequate 8x 2.7 GHz. Compare that to the Intel SKU which is allowed to consume 40 W with a short 55 W peak. Nevertheless, the Core i7-1165G7 cannot hold a candle to AMD’s octa-core Ryzen 7 Pro with the latter offering a whopping 50 % more performance in multi-core loads at a much more efficient 22 W (predecessor: 18 W). And to add insult to injure the Intel SKU thermal throttles after 30 minutes resulting in a twice as fast AMD SKU.

With its new CPUs AMD is once more the king of single-core performance as well and beats the Intel competitor by a very narrow margin of just one percent. Compared to last year’s Ryzen 7 Pro 4750U that can also be found in HP’s EliteBook 845 G7 this constitutes a 25 % improvement. We found no hints of throttling on battery on the AMD unit while the Intel SKU had to throttle by around 16 %. You can find more CPU benchmarks in our technology section.

DPC Latencies

We have yet to find a single T14s with good DPC latencies, and the current model is no exception to this rule. Real-time audio and video editing can thus be somewhat problematic.

Storage Devices

The installed 1 TB UMIS AM630 SSD may be designed for PCIe Gen 4 bus connectivity, unfortunately it is only connected to a PCIe 3 x4 bus and thus noticeably slower than most of our SSDs. Thanks to its PCIe 4.0 bus the X1 Carbon Gen 9 is the unchallenged king of the hill. Nevertheless, we found our review unit’s overall system performance to be more than adequate.

A secondary M.2-2242 SSD can be installed in the T14s G2’s WWAN slot. Keep in mind that this slot does neither support SATA SSDs nor booting from.

GPU-Z RX Vega 8

AMD’s RX Vega 8 performs around 13 % faster than the T14s’s predecessor’s Vega 7 but at the same time around 14 % slower than Intel’s Iris Xe G7 (96EUs) that benefits noticeably from the Intel SKU’s quad-channel memory interface as witnessed by the fact that it performed roughly twice as fast as the Dell Latitude 14’s single-channel-equipped Iris Xe G7 (80EUs).

Gaming Performance

The Vega 8 is powerful enough to run modern games in FHD resolution albeit at reduced details. Depending on the game we see both AMD and Intel in the lead. With that said the AMD-equipped T14s remained pleasantly quiet, cool, and efficient. It also benefits from the fact that performance is not throttled on battery, and that it will run games noticeably longer thanks to its higher overall efficiency.

Additional Vega 8 benchmarks as well as results for all other GPUs in our comparison group can be found in our technology section.

Emissions: AMD ThinkPad T14s is Quiet, Cool, and Efficient

Noise Emissions

The fan remained completely silent under regular load as well as high CPU load caused by Cinebench. The AMD T14s almost feels like a passively cooled device. Only when we add GPU load to the mix does the fan finally ramp up, and it remains fairly quiet at 30-34 dB(A), especially from a subjective point of view. We found no evidence of coil whine.

Temperature

Temperatures remained very low overall. Under combined load (Prime95 and FurMark simultaneously) the rear van vents got slightly warm, and only if you also happen to decide to charge the battery while torture testing your device will it get somewhat hot at the bottom close to where the battery is located as well as the rear parts of the keyboard. This, however, should almost never occur in the real world.

Stress Test

Stress test - Prime 95
Stress test - Prime 95

Initially, the CPU consumes up to 22 W in our Prime95 stress test, and unlike the Intel-equipped T14s our AMD-equipped review unit managed to maintain almost twice the clock speed (at twice the core count) with 8x 2.3-2.6 GHz and core temperatures of around 68 °C. Under combined load, the GPU ran at 900 MHz and did not throttle at any point in our test. Temperatures were found to be a very good 67 °C.

Apart from some minor fluctuations we found no real thermal throttling decreasing the CPU’s initial 22 W resulting in full octa-core performance at all times. That means that our review unit’s cooling solution performed much better than its predecessor or the Intel SKU’s cooler.

Energy Management: T14s AMD Best Battery Life in its Class

Power Consumption

The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s G2 AMD is the most efficient device in our comparison group, particularly under load. Its short 47 W power consumption peak can be easily handled by the amply dimensioned 65 W power supply.

The T14s’s 0.56 W power consumption in standby is okay and translates to a theoretical standby time of slightly over four days. In our real-world experience the T14s lasted much longer though. Its 5.6 to 8.9 W idle power consumption leaves room for improvement as well.

Verdict ThinkPad T14s G2 AMD: A Slim Workstation that Never Stops

In review: Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen2 AMD. Review unit provided by campuspoint
In review: Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen2 AMD. Review unit provided by campuspoint

Our campuspoint-provided Lenovo ThinkPad T14s G2 AMD review unit turned out to be a very good device in many aspects, although we found its 16:9 display to be a bit of a downside considering the device was just redesigned. Both, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon G9 and ThinkPad X13 Gen 2 offer a low-power 2.5k resolution display and are more attractive in this regard. The ThinkPad X13 also features a maintainable keyboard, although we have to keep in mind that this 13-inch laptop is quite a bit smaller and lighter (-150g / -5.29 oz) than the T14s. With that said it is very similar in all other regards though.

The T14s’s full-width keyboard is fantastic, and the device is pleasantly lightweight and thinner than the X13. Its bright and matte low-power display is hit and miss due to Lenovo’s display lottery, and our review unit’s was a clear miss with its hazy and dull image.

A workstation that just keeps going. Apart from its dull 16:9 display the T14s does not have any major flaws. Its keyboard with 1.5 mm travel is excellent, and its grippy case is finally dirt resistant. In addition, performance and emissions have been improved significantly.

Overall, the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s G2 AMD is a more than solid premium business notebook. It offers close to workstation performance while remaining completely silent at the same time, and its battery life is excellent. It is, thus, our preferred choice over the Intel SKU, particularly considering its lower price.

If you are looking for more affordable alternatives you may want to consider the ThinkPad L14, which remains similarly cool and quiet, offers a shorter battery life, comes with a higher weight and size, two RAM slots for up to 64 GB of RAM, a microSD card slot, and an ethernet port. Another alternative is the ThinkPad T14 without the “s” suffix as well as the almost identical P14s Gen2 AMD.

Yet another Lenovo-made alternative is the ThinkPad E14. Its display is dimmer (optional 100 % sRGB) and it runs hotter but in return it offers excellent battery life, an even better keyboard, an ethernet port, and a RAM slot. It also throttles slightly under load and is around 300 g (0.66 lbs) heavier and thicker with thinner display bezels in return.

Price and Availability

Given that our review model, the 20XGS01100, is made for the European edu market it is not available in the United States. The T14s starts at slightly over $1,000 in the US and can be purchased and individually configured through Lenovo’s own webstore.
