80% Lenovo ThinkPad T14s (AMD Ryzen) review: Stuck in the middle
Source: It Pro Archive.org version
Performance from this chip is phenomenal under sustained load, but in day-to-day use the target audience is unlikely to notice the difference compared to the latest Core i7-powered Dell XPS 13. And if you’re willing to switch allegiance from Windows, the M1 MacBook Pro (and even the cheaper Air) are faster still in optimised programs whilst being even sleeker. We also question this laptop’s value for money: a 256GB SSD at this price is positively stingy, and while the warranty lasts three years, it’s return-to-base rather than on-site. This leaves the ThinkPad T14s in the uncomfortable middle ground, unable to lift itself away from the new MacBooks and its corporate rivals.

Lenovo ThinkPad T14s review – high-performance processors and a Privacy Guard that blocks unwanted eyes
Source: Laptop Media Archive.org version
Considering the price of the laptop, and the performance it offers, it is probably one of the best business laptops for high-workload scenarios. Not only does it offer supreme power, but it also has quite a lot of goodies in terms of security. You get a dedicated TPM chip onboard, the AMD Memory Guard technology, dual biometric authentication (thanks to the IR face recognition, and the fingerprint reader, both of which work extremely well).

80% Lenovo ThinkPad T14s
Source: PC Mag Archive.org version
The ThinkPad T14s flirts with a four-and-a-half-star rating and an Editors' Choice nod, missing those marks mainly due to Lenovo's wrongheaded decision to deny AMD customers a 4K screen option (and the fact that we like to see a Thunderbolt 3 port in an over-$1,000 notebook). But if you're content with a 1080p display, the T14s is a sensational business laptop—lighter, faster, and $493 cheaper as tested than the Dell Latitude 7410 (though that comparison is a bit flawed, since the Dell has a gorgeous 4K display), and a genuine, more affordable alternative to the super-stellar ThinkPad X1 Carbon. Its Ryzen 7 Pro CPU is a monster, delivering near-mobile-workstation levels of raw multithreaded performance, and its engineering is faultless.

Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Review - Intel vs AMD
Source: Mobile Tech Review Archive.org version
The 2.8 lb / 1.27 kg ThinkPad T14s is the more affordable counterpart to the ThinkPad X1 Carbon. It has a 12.95mm matte black magnesium alloy shell, the usual excellent ThinkPad keyboard and is available with a variety of displays. You can get it with AMD Ryzen 5 Pro (6-core) and Ryzen 7 Pro (8-core) CPUs for a significant performance boost, or with Intel 10th gen Comet Lake 4-core CPUs for Thunderbolt 3 support. The laptop has ample ports, optional 4G LTE WWAN, a fingerprint scanner, Windows Hello IR camera and strong battery life.

Source: Neowin Archive.org version
If only it came with a UHD display. Seriously, I get that there are some advantages to choosing Intel, and others to choosing AMD. In terms of what the platform offers, I think there are more advantages from AMD, although you do get Thunderbolt from Intel. What I don't care for is OEMs creating their own value propositions for Intel by only offering certain configurations with an Intel processor. It's not cool.

85% Lenovo ThinkPad T14s review (gen1, 2020) – AMD Ryzen business laptop
Source: Ultrabook Review Archive.org version
This 2020 ThinkPad T14s is a refreshed iteration of last year's ThinkPad T490, and that's fine by me. The competent and efficient AMD Ryzen Pro hardware implementation is what primarily puts it on the map for potential buyers looking for solid performance in a compact chassis, and while this delivers and outmatches the Intel-based alternatives out there, it's not without its quirks, as explained in the detailed review down-below.

80% Lenovo ThinkPad T14s AMD Gen 1 review: Solid, dependable and fast
Source: Expert Reviews Archive.org version
All that adds up to a laptop that may be competent across the board but fails to excel in any one particular area. Performance is excellent under sustained load but it’s not significantly better than the latest 11th gen Intel Core i7-powered Dell XPS 13 and battery life is weaker than its big rivals, too. For corporate types, however, it is better value than the business-grade HP Elite Dragonfly, and there’s a plethora of configurations to choose from too. If you’re in the market for any laptop for any purpose at around the £1,000 mark and above, then you’d be doing yourself a huge disservice not to put the M1 MacBook Pro and MacBook Air laptops at the top of your list. They’re much better all-rounders than the ThinkPad T14s and better value too.

Review: Lenovo ThinkPad T14s AMD Gen 1

The ThinkPad proposition naturally includes a high-quality chassis outfitted with an excellent keyboard and ample I/O, and the T14s is only a few small tweaks away from ticking every relevant box. The default webcam ought to be better, chunky bezels lend a somewhat dated appearance, we'd like to see Lenovo be more adventurous in the display department. This system with a 16:10 touchscreen would be hard to beat.

Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 3 review – let’s talk about portable security
Source: Laptop Media
Price is often a deciding factor when buying pretty much anything in life. Laptops are no different, and right from the get-go, the ThinkPad T14s Gen 3 doesn’t start on good terms. Especially when you consider the fact, that perhaps most of this device’s users would be corporate employees, who have little to say. Unfortunately, the big thing that separates it from its non-“s” brother is the lack of memory upgradeability. Still, you can configure it with up to 32GB of RAM pre-purchase, and you get an M.2 PCIe x4 slot with Gen 4 support. When we see the feature list, we can understand the relatively high price. The machine sports a fingerprint reader, a 1080p Web camera with a privacy shutter, and an IR face recognition sensor. On top of that, the keyboard is spill-resistant, and there is optional WWAN connectivity. You can expect either a 4G, or 5G connection, but that depends on your WWAN card – Quectel EM05-G and Fibocom L860-GL-16 are CAT4 and CAT16 4G cards, while the Fibocom FM350-GL offers Sub-6 GHz 5G. Speaking of connections, the port selection of this machine is pretty good too – there are two Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI connector, two USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1) ports, and optional Smart Card readers. Unfortunately, there is no sign of an SD card reader, but you can’t get everything. So, if you don’t really care about the price tag, the ThinkPad T14s Gen 3 is a fantastic compact and feature-packed business notebook. We would definitely consider it for a workhorse enterprise unit.

The best business notebooks in our eyes are the HP Dragonfly G4 and Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11, but the ThinkPad T14s Gen 4 is not far behind. We might recommend you to replace its base screen with the sharper OLED panel, but at its widely discounted price the T14s is a decent deal that'll give years of reliable service.

60% Lenovo ThinkPad T14s review: Twice the price, but not twice as nice
Source: PC World
The ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 ends up in an awkward position where 1. If you care about the quality of the hardware, you’re better off elsewhere. 2. You care about the performance, you’re better off elsewhere. 3. You care about the battery life, you’re better off elsewhere. Or 4. If you care about all of those things, you’re better off elsewhere. Plenty of machines beat it in more than one respect there. The Asus VivoBook S 14 may not be as well built, for instance, but it has the lead in performance and battery life (plus an OLED display for what it’s worth). Meanwhile, the HP EliteBook XG1a may lag behind in battery life, but it has a nice build, great display, and largely superior performance.

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 UHD Graphics 620: Integrated GPU (GT2, 24 EUs) found on some Kaby-Lake-Refresh CPU models (15 W ULV series). Technically identical to the previous Kaby-Lake GPU called HD Graphics 620.

AMD Vega 7: Integrated graphics adapter of the Ryzen APUs based on the Vega architecture with 7 CUs (= 448 shaders) and a clock speed of up to 1,600 MHz.

AMD Vega 6: Integrated graphics adapter of the Ryzen APUs based on the Vega architecture with 6 CUs (= 384 shaders) and a clock of up to 1,500 MHz.

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 Vega 8: Integrated graphics card of the Ryzen APUs based on the Vega architecture with 8 CUs (= 512 shaders) and a clock of up to 2.100 MHz.

Intel Arc 140V: A pretty fast integrated graphics adapter that higher-end Intel Lunar Lake family processors employ. This is a direct successor to the Arc 8; it can drive three SUHD 4320p monitors simultaneously via HDMI 2.1, eDP 1.5 and DP 2.1. With the 140V, all 2023 and 2024 games are playable at 1080p on low graphics settings.

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

Intel Comet Lake:

i5-10210U: Comet Lake based low power quad-core processor (technically identical to Whiskey Lake and still produced in 14nm++). The CPU cores can clock between 1.6 and 4.2 GHz (all 4 cores 3.9 GHz max.) with HyperThreading (8 threads). The integrated memory controller supports LPDDR4-2933 and using cTDP up/down the performance can be adjusted by the OEM (10 - 25 Watt possible, 15W default). Compared to the faster i5-10510U, the level 3 cache was reduced from 8 to 6 MB.

AMD Renoir (Ryzen 4000 APU):

R7 PRO 4750U: Mobile Octa-Core APU using Zen 2 cores clocked at 1.7 to 4 GHz and a Vega graphics card with 7 CUs clocked at up to 1600 MHz. The PRO version of Renoir is offering additional security and management features.

The i7 is designed for use in ultra-light (yet actively cooled) laptops; it is manufactured on Intel's third-gen 10 nm process marketed as SuperFin. The CPU cores run at 2.8 GHz (base clock speed @ 28 W TDP) to 4.7 GHz (single-core Boost frequency). This i7 features the 96 EU Intel Iris Xe G7 iGPU; it was the second-fastest CPU of TGL-UP3 line-up when Intel initially launched the series in 2020.

AMD Cezanne (Zen 3, Ryzen 5000):

R7 PRO 5850U: A mobile Octa-Core APU with Zen 3 cores clocked at 1.9 to 4.4 GHz and a Vega iGPU with 8 CUs clocked at up to 2000 MHz. The PRO CPUs offer additional management and security features.

Intel Alder Lake-P:

i7-1260P: An upper mid-range Alder Lake family CPU featuring 4 performance cores and 8 efficient cores. This 28 W SoC is designed for use in ultra-light (yet actively cooled) laptops. Core i7-1260P's performance cores are Hyper-Threading-enabled for a total of 16 threads. This 12th Gen CPU runs at 1.5 GHz to 4.7 GHz and supports "Essentials" tier vPro features. Last but not the least, Core i7-1260P has a built-in 96 EU Iris Xe GPU, not unlike certain 11th Gen Tiger Lake-UP3 processors.

Intel Raptor Lake-U:

i7-1365U: 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 1.3 to 5.2 GHz. The TDP is specified at 15 Watt.

Intel Lunar Lake:

Core Ultra 7 258V: An upper mid-range Lunar Lake family processor. It sports 4 new Skymont E-cores and 4 new Lion Cove P-cores running at up to 3.7 GHz and 4.8 GHz respectively, along with the new Arc 140V iGPU and 32 GB of on-package LPDDR5x-8533 RAM. It essentially matches the Core Ultra 7 165U and Core i7-1360P in multi-thread performance and it eats up to 37 W when under short-term workloads.

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.
