Do you need it urgently or have you got something to fill in for now? The standard 250 nits will do for the everyday office stuff (indoors). The 400 nits panel is definitely a more versatile panel, if you plan on moving the laptops around.
@@GreenGreenStore It's not that urgent cause i plan on using this device for the last two years of college and few years more of early career. Aiming for server management and security so VMs is a must have.
You think T14 vs T14s Which is a good consumption? I fell in love with the 14s, but I wonder if the difference in weight between 1.2kg and 1.47kg feels great. I wonder if the T14's dual heatpipes and additional ramslot ports have a big impact on actual performance.
Do you expect less heat with the Ryzen 5 4650U? Seems like there may be less heat and better battery life in the 4650U with only very slightly less performance than the Ryzen 7. What do you think?
On the X13 (and some extent the T14s), the performance/value might be good enough with the Ryzen 5 (diminishing return after). L14 / T14 arguably could cope better with the Ryzen 7.
I didn't hear any comment about the relative prices of the AMD and Intel versions of the T14. In the case of the T14s the Intel version is considerably more expensive. Is that also true of the T14?
Price changes due to promos (sometimes one side specific), varies depending on the region. So we didn't comment there. Some of our videos are watched years afterwards too. Some machines age better than others. Hard to know which is which looking in. So our general idea is to not comment on the price.
What a great video! Can you please give me your opinion on that t14 model with 16GB Ram mixed with 8GB Ram? I ordered this on blackfriday and now I am not sure if this was bad because of mixing rams.
We've briefly covered it in the video. Maybe have a look once it arrives whether there is any meaningful difference in the real world usage. Should work fine but dual channel is preferred, in the memory bandwidth heavy uses.
Hey man, thanks for the review! Are you going to review the AMD gen2 E15 at some point? I am currently trying to decide between these two. The E15 is quite a bit cheaper but you get the Ryzen 7 4700U (8 threads) instead of the Ryzen 7 Pro 4750 (16 threads) as well as being limited to 8GB soldered RAM. I was thinking the thermals might be better for the E15 as well since it is just bigger, but I can't find anything to substantiate this.
@@GreenGreenStore You read my mind!! Yeah the L14/15 look like really good value. Only AMD ThinkPads with two DIMM slots as far I can tell. Unfortunately, it just says "coming soon" for the AMD versions on the Lenovo website (for USA). Are they available in UK yet? It's odd because the Intel version has been available for a while now.
Seems okay. in use, it seems to kick in less than the Intel model. Under heavy workload obviously it has to run / there is noise. (Will need to look at a more data focused way to record the noise vs workload in the future. 🙂)
thank you for this great amount of important information! Do you know if one of the USC-C ports supporting DP Alt-Mode 1.2? for connecting a usb-c hub for external display and usb peripherals. thanks.
Hi, can you talk about a little, L14 series can upgrade 64gb ram but T14 only 32(in official site) however T14 more expensive then L14 because of case or etc. Things.

I would recommend buying with max in the soldered slot and then buying your own for the dime slot because the customization tool ram is really expensive
@@GreenGreenStore yes . And the previous p43 was identical t the t490. I dont understand why anyone would buy the t version without the graphics... I think most buyers are unaware
Because for some reason its intel only (4 cores max). It depends on the use case though, not all pro workload need a Quadro. Some people just need a lot of cores for VM or transcoding, although for VM the RAM situation is a bit unfortunate. Besides the thermals are just atrocious for recent thinkpads with dedicated graphics, I personally think the obsession with thinness has gone too far.
@@iblizt316 not talking anything about thinness. Just the equivalent p series is way better as it has the extra graphics and is in same body as rhe t series. But t series is more widely known and popular... I think because ost people dont know the p is the same but better
@@adventureriders4515 The equivalent p series has the "potential" to be better than the t series. Unfortunately, there is no AMD version, only intel (as of now). This is matter more for people that need more cores since the p14s series have intel u series cpu (only 4 cores max) and because for some workload dedicated graphic (quadro) is not required. As it stands now, both are just different. I do not think one is better than the other. If you need dedicated graphics go for p14s, if you want 8 cores AMD APU go for t14. I believe the reason t14 garner much interest is because, as of now, t14 is the highest end thinkpad with ryzen 4000 series. Regarding the thinness, I was just saying that it was one of the reason that temps are so high for recent thinkpads with dedicated graphics, I should have been clearer about that.
What is the difference between the P and T lines? I want to get a 15” model and they both lines seem similar...I’m not super computer versed, so maybe I’m missing something obvious? Help someone 😓
P series is a workstation line with the Quadro graphics options, upto 128GB ram support on the P53 / P73 (vs 48GB here). Nearly 2x the weight though. T series is the normal portable range.
What would happen if you accidentally plugged the USB-C charger into the wrong USB-C port? Would the port sense an issue and refuse to connect or BANG.
Hm, interesting that you said AMD version simply has an USB C port, even though according to their spec sheet it should support Power Delivery & Displayport 1.4 psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_T14_Gen_1_AMD/ThinkPad_T14_Gen_1_AMD_Spec.PDF
@@GreenGreenStore Thanks for the reply and the awesome hands-on/unboxing :) Right. Even though would be useful information for those who want to connect their monitor and other pheripicals with one USB-C cable :). For example I'm powering my Surface Laptop 2 with simply one USB-C cable which is connected to my two monitors. My monitors charge the laptop. This T14 will replace my Surface and I was looking for confirmation whether my workflow will still continue like this or I would have to change my desk :).
I have the t14s but it throttles horribly. How well can the t14 work within its tdp limits? I was thinking t14 with ryzen5 might be the more sensible option instead of my t14s with the ryzen7 which is we Welt hampered by bad cooling and small chassis. When playing league of legends I get 105 degrees, 70ish with light work.
Have you tried using a lower power setting, e.g. Better performance or even the Better battery mode, instead of the full performance? (We imagine that Notebookcheck may have a review soon)
CruiseTech sure I have with minor improvements but what’s the point in getting the faster processor then? :) also something I noticed - in bios if you give 2gb of RAM to the igpu (instead of auto) it completely messes up thermal adding 10 degrees on idle for whatever reason!
CruiseTech another thing - I really hate how manufactures put processors in their machines the thermal design can’t handle. While still impressive performance the R7 is throttling like mad in my T14s - with much performance gone to waste. I acknowledge that there are compromises with thin and light machines but logically that compromise should already be the 15 Watts TDP, right? I hope the T14 does better with dual heat pipes and an optional video chip on intel models factored into the equation. My Ideapad 530s with kabylake i5 from 3 years ago can hit its boost clock as often as needed without throttling and never get hotter than 78 degrees. And yes it’s a third of the performance of the R7 in geek bench 5. Still. Id Rather go Ryzen 5 in the hope of better cooling than paying for only a marginal performance boost with the R7 because it can’t stretch it’s legs. Btw - nice review! :)
@@scollurio I hate to think that IdeaPads could become the new "ThinkPad" just because of customer demand, but you know how much businesses love their ThinkPads ;)
SimGunther I see that both have their place and Ideapads already exist (and are good value) also ... think... books... exist... for those that want a mangled consumer thinkpad...
You have put some great detailed content and comparison. Your videos have been very helpful in closing down the search. I have a question though : @10:12 for the T14 AMD version you have 48GB RAM (16+32) set up. Is 48GB RAM possible in the T14 AMD model as on lenovo's website it says max upto 32GB Ram? I see that the P14s AMD model (seems same chasis as the T14 AMD/Intel) can go upto 48 GB ram. T14 AMD: link: www.lenovo.com/sg/en/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpad-t-series/thinkpad-t14-amd-g1/p/20UDCTO1WWENSG0 P14s AMD : www.lenovo.com/sg/en/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpad-p-series/p14s-amd-g1/p/20Y1CTO1WWENSG0
@@GreenGreenStore Thank you for the link and performing all the tests, it does show that T14 AMD can be configured to 48GB ram unlike what Lenovo's specs suggest. Now looking at the numbers it seems T14 AMD (16+16) seems the better option for this coming black friday :). I am also inclined towards the P14s AMD which can be configured as 16+32, but I guess it might have same performance numbers as you showcased for T14 16+32. Any thoughts? I think I almost made up my mind for T14 AMD with 16+16 setup. Thanks again
Glad to hear that the content was okay. The audio has improved in the more recent reviews e.g. the L14 review but we’re unable to revisit the previous ones.
To achieve 48GB of ram, would it be best to purchase a T14 AMD with 16GB included and then purchase a 32GB stick of ram to add in? Would this stick work? www.newegg.com/samsung-32gb-260-pin-ddr4-so-dimm/p/0RM-002H-00157
There are only the Ryzen Pro 4750U or R5 4650U on the T14 currently. The 4x50U series is the AMD's business focused platform with a few more I.T management options. Speed shouldn't be too different on the same system, but since you might not be able to get it on the same system, it might be more upto a laptop's cooling and TDP as configured.

Actually scratch that. Just remembered I ordered the 32GB option on the T14. Wanted to test the as intended spec. Check with your vendor.
I would recommend buying with max in the soldered slot and then buying your own for the dime slot because the customization tool ram is really expensive
@@madseskildsen3915 yep and get the smallest ssd too and add your own
Why would anyone get the t14 or t14s... when u can get the p14s which is exactly the same body, light weight but has additional graphics chip
They're similar to the previous P43s. Useful machines.
@@GreenGreenStore yes . And the previous p43 was identical t the t490. I dont understand why anyone would buy the t version without the graphics... I think most buyers are unaware
Because for some reason its intel only (4 cores max). It depends on the use case though, not all pro workload need a Quadro. Some people just need a lot of cores for VM or transcoding, although for VM the RAM situation is a bit unfortunate.
Besides the thermals are just atrocious for recent thinkpads with dedicated graphics, I personally think the obsession with thinness has gone too far.
@@iblizt316 not talking anything about thinness. Just the equivalent p series is way better as it has the extra graphics and is in same body as rhe t series. But t series is more widely known and popular... I think because ost people dont know the p is the same but better
@@adventureriders4515 The equivalent p series has the "potential" to be better than the t series. Unfortunately, there is no AMD version, only intel (as of now). This is matter more for people that need more cores since the p14s series have intel u series cpu (only 4 cores max) and because for some workload dedicated graphic (quadro) is not required. As it stands now, both are just different. I do not think one is better than the other.
If you need dedicated graphics go for p14s, if you want 8 cores AMD APU go for t14. I believe the reason t14 garner much interest is because, as of now, t14 is the highest end thinkpad with ryzen 4000 series.
Regarding the thinness, I was just saying that it was one of the reason that temps are so high for recent thinkpads with dedicated graphics, I should have been clearer about that.
What is the difference between the P and T lines? I want to get a 15” model and they both lines seem similar...I’m not super computer versed, so maybe I’m missing something obvious? Help someone 😓
P series is a workstation line with the Quadro graphics options, upto 128GB ram support on the P53 / P73 (vs 48GB here). Nearly 2x the weight though. T series is the normal portable range.
There is also X series look into X1 Extreme Gen 2 or Gen 3 (new but a no buy now with ridiculous new product price)
How can I insert sim card into t14? I cannot find any holes to open it
nano sim card
What would happen if you accidentally plugged the USB-C charger into the wrong USB-C port? Would the port sense an issue and refuse to connect or BANG.
It functions normally. 😗🙂
Hm, interesting that you said AMD version simply has an USB C port, even though according to their spec sheet it should support Power Delivery & Displayport 1.4 psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_T14_Gen_1_AMD/ThinkPad_T14_Gen_1_AMD_Spec.PDF
It does fit within the USB-c form factor. Full name is not exactly exactly easy to say, is it. 🙂
@@GreenGreenStore Thanks for the reply and the awesome hands-on/unboxing :)
Right. Even though would be useful information for those who want to connect their monitor and other pheripicals with one USB-C cable :). For example I'm powering my Surface Laptop 2 with simply one USB-C cable which is connected to my two monitors. My monitors charge the laptop.
This T14 will replace my Surface and I was looking for confirmation whether my workflow will still continue like this or I would have to change my desk :).
9:00 That's the power of dual channel RAM 💥
I have a trackpad freezing issue with mine, when I browse the web sometimes the two finger scroll stops working. Do you have any expierience of this?
Best try updating the driver via Lenovo vantage, then run Windows update. If in doubt try a clean install. If it persists, contact Lenovo.
Hi! t14 amd good for 1080p video edditing ?
Looking decent.
I have the t14s but it throttles horribly. How well can the t14 work within its tdp limits? I was thinking t14 with ryzen5 might be the more sensible option instead of my t14s with the ryzen7 which is we Welt hampered by bad cooling and small chassis. When playing league of legends I get 105 degrees, 70ish with light work.
Have you tried using a lower power setting, e.g. Better performance or even the Better battery mode, instead of the full performance? (We imagine that Notebookcheck may have a review soon)
CruiseTech sure I have with minor improvements but what’s the point in getting the faster processor then? :) also something I noticed - in bios if you give 2gb of RAM to the igpu (instead of auto) it completely messes up thermal adding 10 degrees on idle for whatever reason!
CruiseTech another thing - I really hate how manufactures put processors in their machines the thermal design can’t handle. While still impressive performance the R7 is throttling like mad in my T14s - with much performance gone to waste. I acknowledge that there are compromises with thin and light machines but logically that compromise should already be the 15 Watts TDP, right? I hope the T14 does better with dual heat pipes and an optional video chip on intel models factored into the equation. My Ideapad 530s with kabylake i5 from 3 years ago can hit its boost clock as often as needed without throttling and never get hotter than 78 degrees. And yes it’s a third of the performance of the R7 in geek bench 5. Still. Id Rather go Ryzen 5 in the hope of better cooling than paying for only a marginal performance boost with the R7 because it can’t stretch it’s legs. Btw - nice review! :)
@@scollurio I hate to think that IdeaPads could become the new "ThinkPad" just because of customer demand, but you know how much businesses love their ThinkPads ;)
SimGunther I see that both have their place and Ideapads already exist (and are good value) also ... think... books... exist... for those that want a mangled consumer thinkpad...
You have put some great detailed content and comparison. Your videos have been very helpful in closing down the search.
I have a question though : @10:12 for the T14 AMD version you have 48GB RAM (16+32) set up. Is 48GB RAM possible in the T14 AMD model as on lenovo's website it says max upto 32GB Ram? I see that the P14s AMD model (seems same chasis as the T14 AMD/Intel) can go upto 48 GB ram.

Here, made a post a while back.
www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/i0az0a/thinkpad_t14_definitely_supports_48gb_ram/?
@@GreenGreenStore Thank you for the link and performing all the tests, it does show that T14 AMD can be configured to 48GB ram unlike what Lenovo's specs suggest. Now looking at the numbers it seems T14 AMD (16+16) seems the better option for this coming black friday :).
I am also inclined towards the P14s AMD which can be configured as 16+32, but I guess it might have same performance numbers as you showcased for T14 16+32. Any thoughts? I think I almost made up my mind for T14 AMD with 16+16 setup.
Thanks again
Great review, but audio is bad, I can barely understand you
Glad to hear that the content was okay. The audio has improved in the more recent reviews e.g. the L14 review but we’re unable to revisit the previous ones.
@@GreenGreenStore Content is great, exactly what I was looking for :-)
To achieve 48GB of ram, would it be best to purchase a T14 AMD with 16GB included and then purchase a 32GB stick of ram to add in?
Would this stick work?

It looks okay. Check with the vendor though.
How does ryzen pro 4750u compare with 4700u ?
There are only the Ryzen Pro 4750U or R5 4650U on the T14 currently. The 4x50U series is the AMD's business focused platform with a few more I.T management options. Speed shouldn't be too different on the same system, but since you might not be able to get it on the same system, it might be more upto a laptop's cooling and TDP as configured.
It seems that the only differences are 1. 4750u has 2x threads per core and 2. 4750u has 1.7 GHz base Clock rate while 4700u has 2.0Ghz
@@tenki_desu thank you
Just google on "T-14s battery problem" before you consider to get this laptop. Lenovo just seems to ignore the issue.
This is the T14, not the T14s. They have different batteries.
