Lenovo has released a new 14-inch ThinkPad featuring Intel Panther Lake processors. Currently available in selected markets, early retailer listings indicate that the ThinkPad E14 Gen 8 will be receiving a global release soon with an optional 120 Hz display, 32 GB of RAM and a 64 Wh battery.

Yesterday, we reported that Lenovo had launched the ThinkPad E14 Gen 8 globally with AMD Zen 5 processors. Currently, Lenovo is not selling this version of its new budget 14-inch ThinkPad directly. In the meantime, Intel-powered alternatives have started popping up on some of its regional websites.

For instance, the ThinkPad E14 Gen 8 with Intel processors is now officially available in Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore. Also, retailers have started listing the same laptop in Europe and the US. However, the ThinkPad E14 Gen 8 is earmarked as 'coming soon' on Lenovo's European and North American websites.

The ThinkPad E14 Gen 8 Intel will be available in two colours, but not in all markets.

The ThinkPad E14 Gen 8 surpasses the Gen 7 models that we reviewed in November (curr. $1,299 on Amazon) with a choice between Core Ultra 5 322, Core Ultra 5 325, Core Ultra 5 336H, Core Ultra 7 355 and Core Ultra 7 356H processors. Additionally, the new laptop can be configured with up to 32 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM, 1 TB of M.2 2242 storage and a 48 Wh or 64 Wh battery.

Moreover, Lenovo offers the laptop with up to a 1800p (2.8K), 120 Hz and 500-nit display that covers 100% sRGB colour space coverage. All display options are IPS-based, though. The ThinkPad E14 Gen 8 starts at AUD 1,817, HKD 10,880, MYR 5,469 and SGD 2,104 in Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore, respectively. Meanwhile, retailers have listed the laptop for €1,639 in the Eurozone and $2,320 in the US, albeit with differing specifications.
