Reviews for the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 5 21LS001PGE
The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 5 not only brings an update to Core Ultra Series 1—also known as Meteor Lake—but the slim ThinkPad T-series device has also been given a big redesign. But for the first time in a long time, Lenovo has axed an AMD option for this business laptop.

Prices for the ThinkPad T14s Gen 5 start at $1,919, with the configuration I reviewed starting at Best Buy for $2,119. In my opinion, this price is a rather big ask. Luckily, there are plenty of options: The sixth-generation ThinkPad T14s is much cheaper and performs better. Best Buy also has the ThinkPad X1 Carbon G12 available for $1,760 and boasts similar specs to the T14s Gen 5. These two devices aren't quite as durable, however, since they integrate carbon fiber in their designs in order to be more lightweight. If you're looking for sheer durability and battery power, the ThinkPad T14 is a solid choice. Otherwise, some of the other ThinkPads might get you more bang for your buck.

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.
