This affordable Lenovo laptop is more upgradeable than most ThinkPads: ThinkBook 14 Gen 8 IAL review

Small-business powerhouse.

The ThinkBook brand is always in the shadows of the much more well-known and popular ThinkPad. While the ThinkBook 14 Gen 8 IAL is not going to kill the demand for ThinkPads, it does some things better than its black cousins - like upgradeability.

Verdict: Lenovo ThinkBook 14 Gen 8 IAL is a good choice for students

If you do not have much money and just need a laptop to get things done, be it work in Microsoft Office or while studying, the Lenovo ThinkBook 14 Gen 8 IAL is certainly well-suited for those tasks. It has good input devices and all the ports you would need in your daily work - with RJ45-Ethernet and a SD card reader, it even provides more flexibility than some more expensive devices. Additionally, the great upgradeability means this device can go the distance and with the powerful Arrow Lake H CPU, its performance is going to be good for many years, too.

Where the Lenovo ThinkBook laptop falters is with screen quality and details like the speakers lacking bass, but then again - this is not really a laptop meant for those multimedia tasks, and it this price points, some sacrifices have to be made. The biggest weakness of the model we tested was the below-average battery life, courtesy of the small 45 Wh battery. But that can be remedied by choosing a model with the optionally available bigger 60 Wh battery.

Pros

+ strong CPU performance
+ wide port selection incl. RJ45 & SD card reader
+ highly upgradable (2x M.2, 2x SO-DIMM, socketed Wi-Fi)
+ nice keyboard
+ affordable

Cons

- cheap display with bad color gamut coverage
- below average battery life due to small battery
- speakers without bass

Price and Availability

The Lenovo ThinkBook 14 Gen 8 IAL is available on lenovo.com, starting at $959 as of this review.

Case & Connectivity: Affordable Lenovo ThinkBook laptop offers great port variety

The basic design of the Lenovo ThinkBook 14 has not changed much in the last few years. It is a silver-gray chassis with an aluminum lid and a plastic base cover. Quality is certainly a concern at this price-point and the ThinkBook manages to be mostly solid. There is little give in the base and screen cover, but there is some wobble with the hinge. One-handed opening is not possible, but at least the screen opens to 180 degrees. When it comes to material quality, the ThinkBook clearly feels like a device of its price-range - at least the palmrest has a smooth paint, which feels slightly less cheap than the rough plastic of the bottom cover.

An advantage of this affordable Lenovo laptop: It offers the user a lot of flexibility. The ThinkBook 14 Gen 8 has a modern Thunderbolt 4 port, as well as nowadays rare options like a full-size SD card slot (with the cards sticking out) and RJ45 Ethernet. Additionally, the Lenovo ThinkBook laptop has two SO-DIMM slots for expandable memory, the M.2 2242 SSD is not soldered either - an M.2 2280 SSD would also fit, plus there is a second, free M.2 2280 slot. The Wi-Fi card is not soldered down, either, making the ThinkBook very repairable.

Input Devices: Good Lenovo laptop keyboard

Lenovo uses a 1.5mm travel keyboard with smile shaped keys and a two level LED backlight that also offers an auto-mode. The keyboard offers a good typing experience and great layout with well-sized arrow keys and grouped F keys. It is all-around a good keyboard.

The touchpad (12 x 7.5 cm) is a typical mechanical dive-board clickpad. It has a smooth plastic surface and it performs well in everyday use. Overall, the input devices of the Lenovo ThinkBook laptop are very usable.

Moderate backlight bleeding (shown enhanced here)

The Lenovo ThinkBook 14 Gen 8 is always equipped with a 14-inch 16:10 IPS LCD with a WUXGA resolution (1,920 x 1,200), which reaches a screen brightness of 300 cd/m² and covers 45 percent of the NTSC color gamut. The only option is between a touch or a non-touch solution; our review sample uses the non-touch display.

The screen brightness of sub-par, with a maximum of 276 cd/m². Overall, this is a cheap screen, usable in indoor-office settings, but also lacking in color-gamut coverage and thus not suitable for any photo-editing or color work. This is the typical screen of a budget office-laptop, and not even the matte display surface can really help it in outdoor settings, due to the weak screen backlight.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
15.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 8.7 ms rise
↘ 7.1 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 35 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (20.5 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
19.3 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 9.2 ms rise
↘ 10.1 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 31 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.1 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8327 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Testing Conditions

There are three different power modes influencing the power limits (PL1 = power consumption under sustained load, PL2 = maximum power consumption) that can be changed using the FN+Q key combination:

  • Best battery life: PL1 11 W / PL2 20 W
  • Balanced: PL1 30 W / PL2 45 W
  • Best performance: 38 W / 50 W

All benchmarks were performed in "Best performance" mode.

Processor

Storage Devices

Lenovo uses a fast NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD made by Western Digitial. It is an M.2 2242 drive inside a M.2 2280 slot - there is a second M.2 2280 slot, so the ThinkBook is highly upgradeable. The factory SSD is also fast in our benchmarks, topping the benchmark comparison.

GPU Performance

The Intel ARC 140T is the standard GPU solution of the Arrow Lake H Ultra 7 CPUs. Technically, it is almost identical to the Intel ARC GPU of last year's Meteor Lake H CPUs, except for increased AI performance. Unsurprisingly, then, the ThinkBook achieves a similar performance when compared with the older Meteor Lake laptops. This means the ThinkBook is certainly usable for some graphically demanding tasks, like light gaming, though newer games can only be played in drastically reduced graphical fidelity.

Temperature

Stress test (Prime95 + Furmark)
Stress test (Prime95 + Furmark)

Under load, the ThinkBook gets warm, but not extremely warm, considering the powerful processor used here. We measure a maximum of 46 degrees Celsius or 115 F during the Cyberpunk 2077 test. This temperature is confined to a hot-spot at the bottom of the device, areas like the palmrest barely get warm.

We did not detect any throttling during our stress-test.

Speakers

Lenovo uses speakers that are loud, but lack any semblance of bass. This makes the ThinkBook 14 Gen 8 IAL very usable for the typical use in an office, but not very suited for listening to music.

Energy Management: Small battery limits battery endurance

Power Consumption

The ThinkBook 14 Gen 8 IAL achieves a good power efficiency when idling. Overall, it is more power efficient than the other devices in our comparison, especially under load when put up against the Meteor Lake H models.

For the maximum consumption of 66.7 W, the 65 W USB-C charger seems insufficient, but since the power consumption quickly drops, users need not be worried about the battery discharging during use.

Battery Life

Chargtime: 104 minutes
Chargtime: 104 minutes

The Lenovo ThinkBook laptop has two battery options, 45 Wh and 60 Wh. Our model has the small battery, and battery life is below average as a result: A little over 7 hours in our web-browsing test (150 cd/m² brightness) is a weak result. The good news is, the bigger battery. If you are interested in the ThinkBook and want to use it on the go, definitely look for a variant with the big battery.

Notebookcheck Rating

Lenovo's ThinkBook 14 Gen 8 IAL delivers good performance, upgradeability and a great port selection, but the display is cheap, and the speakers are lacking, typical problems for an affordable office laptop. Plus, the battery life is limited, but can be improved by choosing a configuration with a bigger battery.
