89.1% Lenovo ThinkPad T14s G4 Intel Laptop Review: OLED instead of battery life | Notebookcheck
Lenovo puts an OLED panel into its ThinkPad T14s Gen 4 Intel. This screen delivers a great picture quality, but an important aspect of this business laptop is suffering from the screen choice: the battery life.
100% Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 4 business laptop review
Source: Techradar English
I enjoyed my time with the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s - just as much this time around as the first time I cracked open the lid of one. When it came to taking one laptop with me while working away from home, confronted with the choice of the T14s, HP EliteBook 845 G11, and the 13in Microsoft Surface Laptop, it was Lenovo’s machine I reached for every time. It felt like a natural fit for working on the go, but then again, it was my literal Editor’s Choice just a few months before. Throughout this review, I’ve been calling the T14s a business machine - and it’s certainly built for the job.

Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 4 review – sleek, thin, and snappy
Source: Laptop Media English
The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 4 is such a positive surprise. This little fella with a 16.9 mm profile offers almost exactly the same performance as the bigger ThinkPad T14 Gen 4. In general, the performance of the T14s sibling is great. Web browsing or watching videos while benchmarking with Cinebench R23 isn’t a problem for this device – we already tried this and we observed no system lags. In addition to that, the CPU can sustain high processor P and E clocks under any load. During longer stress, the frequencies are a bit higher than the ones of the ThinkPad T14 Gen 4. The single fan is almost quiet when the processor has to do the heavy lifting and it’s hard to hear some noise in idle or during video playback. The thermals on the outside are low enough for comfortable usage. The input devices are also very good. The keyboard is comfortable for typing, it’s spill-resistant, and it has a backlight. The touchpad is smooth and responsive. The memory is soldered but this applies to almost any other notebook with similar thickness.

90.4% Lenovo ThinkPad T14s G4 review: Business laptop is better with AMD Zen4 | Notebookcheck
We've already reviewed the current ThinkPad T14s G4 with the Intel processor and high-resolution OLED panel, and now we have the AMD model with the Ryzen 7 7840U and low-power IPS display. In addition to significantly more performance, the good battery life is particularly impressive.

Comment

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.


Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Intel Iris Xe G7 96EUs: Integrated graphics card in Intel Tiger Lake G4 SoCs based on the new Gen. 12 architecture with 96 EUs (Execution Units / Shader Cluster). The clock rate depends on the processor model. The Tiger Lake chips are produced in the modern 10nm+ process at Intel.

AMD Radeon 780M: Integrated graphics card in the Ryzen 7040 mobile series APUs based on the RDNA3 architecture with 12 CUs (= 768 shaders) and a clock speed of up to 3 GHz.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Intel Raptor Lake-U:

i7-1355U: Alder Lake based mobile CPU with 2 performance cores and 8 efficient cores. The performance cores offer hyper threading, leading to 12 threads that can be processed. The CPU clocks from 1.2 to 5 GHz. The TDP is specified at 15 Watt.

AMD Phoenix (Zen 4):

R7 7840U: A powerful laptop processor (APU) of the Phoenix product family. Its eight Zen 4 cores run at 3.3 GHz to 5.1 GHz and are SMT-enabled for a total of 16 processing threads. The great Radeon 780M is responsible for 3D processing and similar duties; the 7840U also features Ryzen AI which is AMD's answer to Intel's GNA and DL Boost.

14.00:

14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact. 

In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.

94.88%: This rating is indeed excellent. There are not many models that are rated better. This can definitely be seen as a purchase recommendation.
