OLED eats battery life: Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 AMD laptop review
Workstation with low power.
A more powerful version of the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 5: This is the promise of the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 AMD. Performance is truly better, but this comes at a cost. Also, the OLED screen of the ThinkPad laptop leads to a bad endurance when running on battery power.Benjamin Herzig 👁 (translated by Benjamin Herzig) Published 🇩🇪 🇫🇷 ...
Verdict: Performance advantage over the ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 AMD is small
With the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 AMD, Lenovo has produced a model that does not make a lot of sense, at least in the tested configuration. The performance advantage in comparison to the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 AMD is there, but small. At the same time, the P14s Gen 5 AMD runs louder and hotter - not to mention the bad battery life. This may also be due to the fact that Lenovo puts in an OLED screen and does not increase the battery capacity at the same time, different from the Intel variant of the ThinkPad P14s Gen 5.
This means that the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 AMD is a device that offers almost all the advantages of the ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 AMD, but some additional disadvantages. The T14 is simply the better choice for most users. If more performance in a 14 inch device is needed, especially more GPU performance, the P14s Gen 5 Intel or the Dell Precision 5490 are the better choice.

Traditionally, the compact workstation laptops of the ThinkPad P14s series always followed the design of the office model Lenovo ThinkPad T14. This enables the manufacturer to lower costs, but limits the potential of the laptop. Office laptops typically have a focus on mobility and a low weight, while workstations are optimized for maximum performance.
With the 2024 generation and the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 5, things have changed. The new model has its own chassis that allows for room for a powerful cooling system - but this is only true for the Intel model. We already tested the ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 Intel, now follows the AMD version, which still uses the T14 design. The comparison between the unequal brothers is very interesting. Also, we want to see how the ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 AMD compares against the similar ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 AMD, which we recently tested as well.
Specifications: AMD Ryzen 8040HS and OLED display
Case: P14s G5 AMD more mobile than ThinkPad P14s G5 Intel
From the outside, it is hard to tell the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 from the ThinkPad T14 Gen 5. No wonder, as both use the same design. The construction is typical for a ThinkPad, which is not something that applies to the ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 Intel. While the Intel model mainly uses aluminum, the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 AMD utilizes the typical design with plastic and magnesium, which is painted black on the outside.
The stiffness of the chassis is maybe not quite on the level of the aluminum alternatives, but this does not have to be bad as far as durability is concerned. A chassis with a little bit of flex can often take more abuse. There are no real problems with the build quality, and the screen cover seems to protect the OLED screen quite well. A definitive disadvantage of the smooth surface: It gets dirty quickly.
Different from the P14s Gen 5 Intel, Lenovo does not use a big bar-hinge and relies instead on two small hinges. They are colored black as well, but the caps are still made out of metal. The maximum opening angle reaches 18ß degrees, a one-handed opening is not possible. At least, the screen also does not wobble.
A similarity between the two P14s variants is the new webcam bump. The bulge on the screen, which can be used as a convenient handle to open the display. The predecessor Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 4 did not have this feature.
Heavier, but smaller: The Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 AMD is smaller than the P14s Gen 5 AMD, but it also gained a few extra pounds. Instead of 1.3 kg or 2.97 lbs, the new model weighs 1.4 kg or 3.17 lbs. The difference is bigger when compared against the P14s Gen 5 Intel, as that model weighs 3.79 lbs or 1.7 kg. Here, the aluminum chassis of the P14s G5 Intel is the deciding factor. Also, the Core Ultra variant is bigger - it has to be, as it uses a 14.5-inch screen, while the P14s Gen 5 AMD contains a smaller 14 inch display.
Connectivity: P14s AMD for the first time with 2x SO-DIMM
Despite the different design: The port selection is identical for both variants of the ThinkPad P14s Gen 5. Both have RJ45 Ethernet, and two Thunderbolt 4 ports for charging. Unfortunately, both are positioned on the left side. A positioning of one port on either side would be much better. Not offered is an SD card slot - for an office unit like the T14 Gen 5 not a big deal, but painful for a workstation like the P14s Gen 5.
Communication
Intel ThinkPads typically use an Intel Wi-Fi solution. For the AMD models, Lenovo uses a Qualcomm Wi-Fi module. The Wi-Fi 7 card in this ThinkPad delivers high transfer rates, especially when downloading data.
Apart from RJ45 and Wi-Fi, the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 AMD can also establish an internet connection via WWAN. Our tested model has the antennas needed for that, the M.2 bay and a SIM slot. 4G/LTE cards can be bought separately. This is an advantage of the P14s G5 AMD compared with the P14s G5 Intel, as that model lacks that feature completely.
Webcam
Lenovo puts in a 5 MPix webcam. The quality if good for a laptop, even though it is still far from the typical smartphone quality.

Security
With the business-battleship ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 AMD as its base, the ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 receives the full selection of security features. dTPM, Kensington lock, fingerprint reader, IR camera, Smartcard reader, all those functions are for the security of the user-data. For enhanced privacy, the device has the ThinkShutter, a physical camera shutter.
Accessories
Apart from the 65 W charger, Lenovo does not put any additional accessories into the box.
Maintenance
In comparison to the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 4 AMD, there have been many changes to the internal design. Instead of soldered RAM, the P14s now has two SO-DIMM slots with up to 96 GB DDR5 memory. Our review unit has the memory sticks under a metal shield. Also, not directly visible, but instantly recognizable under the copper shielding is the modular M.2 2280 SSD. The P14s Gen 5 is also upgradeable in another way: The M.2-2242 slot for a 4G/LTE module is open, the antennas are there, too - this is a feature missing from the P14s Gen 5 Intel, as the Intel version allocates more space for a powerful cooling system with two fans. A shared feature is the soldered Wi-Fi module. Exclusive for the P14s Gen 5 AMD: The battery is a CRU. That means it is easier to remove and customers are allowed to change it themselves during the warranty period.
Another thing only possible for the P14s Gen 5 AMD: Quickly changing the keyboard. While the ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 Intel requires a complete deconstruction to remove the keyboard, the Ryzen variant's keyboard can be removed after loosening two screws at the bottom. Afterward, the keyboard can be moved to the back and, after disconnecting the keyboard cables, removed.
Sustainability
The CO₂ output of the laptop's production (149 kg CO₂ equivalent) is lower than for the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 Intel (184 kg CO₂ equivalent). Identical for both model is the compostable packaging material. Less sustainable are the materials of the laptop casing, as only a few components like the speaker plastic use recycled materials. As always for ThinkPads, the P14s Gen 5 AMD has repair manuals available as both text and videos, and software updates as well as parts are available from Lenovo for many years.
Warranty
In Germany, more premium ThinkPad laptops have a standard warranty of three years - this is the case for our review device as well. In the first twelve months, the customers get a free upgrade to Lenovo's Premier support, which includes on-site support. After the first year, it becomes regular bring-in support. Also, the battery only has a one-year warranty. Optionally, the battery warranty can be extended to three years and there is an optional warranty extension to five years available. In addition, with the optional Lenovo Accidental Damage Protection (ADP), physical damages to the chassis can be covered.
Since ThinkPads are enterprise models that are on sale world-wide, the warranty also applies internationally - though outside of Germany, always only with bring-in service.
Input devices: Great ThinkPad keyboard
Keyboard
Lenovo puts a keyboard into the ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 AMD, which we know very well from other ThinkPad models. The key travel sits at 1.5 mm - from a historic point of view not that much for a ThinkPad, but plenty for today's standard. The typing feel is nice, typing long texts is no challenge at all. User comfort is increased because of the rounded, slightly concave keycap design.
The keyboard has a two-stage LED backlight, making is usable in the dark. For users who have problems seeing, Lenovo also introduced small haptic markers on keys like Enter, Ins and FN, making the ThinkPad keyboard more suitable for the visually impaired. The layout of the ThinkPad keyboard is also great. The fact that Lenovo still has grouped F keys and bigger arrow keys is commendable.
Touchpad and TrackPoint
The mouse pointing devices are the usual ThinkPad fare as well. Lenovo uses the now classical combination of a mechanical clickpad and the TrackPoint with its dedicated buttons. Both components work without any problems, and both provide precise ways to control the pointer. The touchpad is slightly smaller than it is for many other laptops. Also, the mechanical click is only possible in the lower area. The mechanism creates a satisfying click, the same is true for the dedicated TrackPoint buttons. The TrackPoint is especially better than the touchpad when trying to use it in tight environments like a train or when you want to perform "drag and drop" operations.
Display: High-quality, fast ThinkPad OLED screen by Samsung
Lenovo sells the ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 AMD with five different 14-inch 16:10 screens:
- WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200), IPS, 400 cd/m², 45 % NTSC, matte
- WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200), IPS, 400 cd/m², 45 % NTSC, matte, on-Cell Multitouch
- WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200), IPS, 400 cd/m², 100 % sRGB, matte, Low Power
- WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200), IPS, 500 cd/m², 100 % sRGB, matte, on-Cell Multitouch, ePrivacy
- 2.8K (2,880 x 1,800), OLED, 400 cd/m², 100 % DCI-P3, semi-matte/semi-glossy, 120 Hz, HDR
This screen selection is much different from the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 Intel, which offers different 14.5-inch panels and which is missing an OLED option. The OLED screen in our P14s Gen 5 AMD unit is roughly as bright as the 3K IPS one of the Intel model, but it delivers a higher contrast and deeper black. Both are equally fast, with a 120 Hz refresh rate. The OLED panel has much lower reaction times, so it should be more suitable for video and gaming.
The dark side: Only the OLED screen uses PWM for regulating the screen brightness (DC dimming when the screen is set to more than 50 percent brightness), the IPS solution of the Intel model is flicker-free.

The screen is optimized for working in the DCI P3 color space. Here, the difference from neutral colors are the lowest. It is best to leave the screen at the factory-profile. A calibration barely improves the color accuracy.
Color gamut coverage is excellent. Both the sRGB and the DCI P3 are fully covered, even the AdobeRGB is almost fully available.

Performance: Ryzen 8000HS not faster, but more efficient than Meteor Lake H
There are two different CPU options for the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 AMD: the AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 8640HS and the AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 8840HS. A dGPU is not an option for the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 AMD. Instead, Lenovo uses the AMD Radeon 760M or the Radeon 780M, depending on if a Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7 is chosen.
Different from the predecessor Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 AMD, the memory is completely upgradeable. The two SO-DIMM modules take in up to 96 GB (2x 48 GB DDR5-5600). The situation in terms of the storage is a bit more restrictive: In the single M.2 2280 slot, Lenovo puts in a maximum of 2 TB SSD storage.
Testing conditions
As always with ThinkPads, Lenovo uses the Windows energy settings to set the power modes. They influence the CPU performance and power consumption via the setting of the power limits (PL1 = power consumption under sustained load, PL2 = short term boost performance).
- Best energy life: PL1 25 W / PL2 27 W
- Balanced: PL1 32 W / PL2 40 W
- Best performance: PL1 35 W / PL2 50 W
Our performance benchmarks were performed in "best performance".
Processor
The AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 8840HS is a processor of the "Hawk Point" generation, a refresh of Ryzen 7000. Its eight Zen4 cores run with 3.3 to 5.1 GHz. As an HS CPU, this CPU is optimized for a typical power consumption of 35 to 45 W. Comparisons with other CPUs are possible with our CPU comparison list.
In the CPU benchmarks, the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 AMD is placed between the P14s Gen 5 Intel with the Core Ultra 155H and the ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 AMD with the AMD Ryzen 7 8840U. This is not a surprise. The Intel version of the P14s has a much more powerful cooling system with two fans, enabling the CPU to consume up to 50 W under sustained load. In comparison, the 35 W of the AMD model look tame. On the other hand, the T14 Gen 5 has a lower TDP of 28 W and is thus unable to compete. The difference is not big though: The P14s Gen 5 Intel is roughly five percent faster, the T14 Gen 5 AMD two percent slower. All three are fast 14-inch laptops, which are well-suited for tasks like rendering.
CPU performance is not throttled in battery mode.

Storage
Lenovo puts in a M.2 2280 SSD from Kioxia, which has a capacity of 2 TB. This fast NMVe PCIe 4.0 SSD perfoms well in our review, though the speed is nothing special. There is no throttling under sustained load.
