Reviews for the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 21N10007GE
Two years after the first Snapdragon ThinkPad, Lenovo releases a new variant. The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 offers excellent battery life numbers, but compatibility can still be problematic in some cases.

Prices for the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 start at $1,598, which is about what you'd expect from a ThinkPad with this level of hardware. I highly recommend the laptop to professionals (or anyone really) who want a lightweight powerhouse that can handle a wide array of office and productivity workloads. You can also configure this machine with higher-end components, including a 1TB SSD, but that will bring the price up to around $1,600. If you prefer something cheaper with a solid chipset, Lenovo is selling the ThinkPad T14s with a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite chipset, starting at $1,181.

With a few notable exceptions, the recent history of laptops has been a two-sided affair between Intel and AMD. Microsoft did dip its toes into ARM-based machines infamously with the Surface RT, a machine that ran a compiled-for-ARM version of Windows 8.1. The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 isn't remotely similar to that device, which couldn't run Win32 applications. Instead, this is a conventional laptop running Windows 11 Pro 24H2 for ARM. While there will always be issues running Intel X64 code in emulation, the advantages of Snapdragon X are well represented by the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6. If you hate running out of battery power, then this is the laptop for you.

Lenovo's ThinkPad lineup continues to impress, particularly with the ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 featuring Snapdragon. I have been a fan of the ThinkPad series for years, and appreciation won't fade soon. The ThinkPad T14s is part of the T series, positioning it as a business ultrabook with enterprise features geared more towards professionals than casual users or entry-level business laptops. We're big fans of the AMD-powered Gen 4 (see out Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 4 business laptop review). But how does the Gen 6 Snapdragon stack up against some of the best Lenovo ThinkPad laptops? Well, this model boasts excellent ports, outstanding battery life, a fanless design, and a strong balance of power, weight, and battery performance. Additionally, it offers a decent display for business purposes. This laptop is excellent for what it's meant to be great for, and that's a good thing.

The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 is in many ways the perfect business laptop, despite a few flaws. It offers strong overall performance, incredible battery life, and a lightweight design, the three traits that are arguably the most important for professionals. This laptop is light enough to bring on your commute with ease and has the power and battery life to keep up with everyday work tasks without needing a charger during your lunch break. Of course, the ThinkPad T14s isn’t perfect and its flaws could be deal breakers. For instance, it had very weak graphics performance in our benchmark tests. Its Snapdragon processor may also face compatibility issues with certain apps and games.

The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 (14″ Snapdragon) is a well-built machine that could be a dream come true for professionals on the go who need a good AI performance. In addition to that, the battery has enough juice for almost 20 hours of videos despite the modest 58Wh capacity. This laptop’s adequate input devices and nice comfort under load, make it an ideal portable machine. The 1200p IPS touchscreen (NV140WUM-T08 (LEN403D)) is PWM-free, has wide viewing angles, and 400 nits of max brightness. That’s all you need for normal home or office work. If you want better color coverage, the optional 2.8K OLED unit will do the job if money isn’t a problem. Since there is a Snapdragon SoC under the bonnet, it’s not a secret that the upgradability is limited. You can change the NVMe drive, that’s all.

There's plenty to love about the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 – from its immense power to long-lasting battery life. While there are a couple of minor downsides to picking this up, including the lack of detail in the display as well as the unsightly chassis, its build quality and lightness more than make up for it. It also features narrower bezels than older ThinkPad devices and is available in an OLED configuration – which means these minor bugbears are easy to resolve. For a starting retail price of £1,600, it's a great piece of enterprise machinery that will help you unlock higher levels of productivity in a package that may, in previous generations, cost so much more.

The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 could be a brilliant laptop in the right hands. It’s not a high-performance workhorse and the variable performance it sees in different conditions makes it a little hard to rely on for speed. Some of that volatility may get ironed out as Snapdragon laptop chips spend a little more time in the real world. In spite of this, the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 still remains a consistent machine in lighter tasks, likely thanks to the extra memory Lenovo is essentially insisting on. Beyond that, this is a high-utility laptop. The keyboard is OK. The display isn’t the sharpest or most gorgeous, but ensures visibility in most conditions.

We wish the 2.8K OLED screen and 4G or 5G mobile broadband options were available now, but except for that and the webcam bug (which subtracts half a star), we find few faults with the ThinkPad T14s Gen 6. Assuming its price doesn't suddenly skyrocket again, it's a tad heavier than the ThinkPad X1 Carbon but also slightly cheaper, earning an Editors' Choice nod in its own right. Qualcomm versus Intel and AI aside, it's a genuine alternative to the legendary X1 Carbon. Our laptop praise doesn't get any higher than that.

Qualcomm Adreno X1-85 3.8 TFLOPS: An integrated graphics adapter that four Qualcomm Snapdragon X processors feature, as of Sep 2024. It has 1,536 unified shaders at its disposal that are said to run at up to 1,250 MHz. The underlying architecture is reportedly in many respects the same as what was used in the Adreno 730. While thankfully faster than the aging Intel Iris Xe (96 EUs), the Adreno fails to match the Radeon 780M meaning Baldur's Gate 3, a triple-A title released in 2023, is barely playable at 1080p on low with 23 fps on average. Triple-A games of 2024 fare even worse, in no small part due to Qualcomm's subpar graphics drivers.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

SD X Elite X1E-78-100: A pretty fast ARM architecture processor (SoC) for use in Windows laptops. The X1E-78-100 is the least powerful member of the Snapdragon X Elite processor series, as of May 2024; as such, it has 12 Oryon CPU cores running at no more than 3.4 GHz and the 3.8 TFLOPS Adreno X1-85 GPU. The 45 TOPS Hexagon NPU, an impressively fast LPDDR5x-8448 memory controller, USB 4.0 support, TB 4 support and PCIe 4 support are included as well.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

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.
