Product Overview

Lenovo ThinkBook 14s Gen 2 is the ultra-slim, ultra-light variant of the ThinkBook 14 Gen 2. Available in select markets only, the ThinkBook 14s Gen 2 features the same selection of Intel and AMD mobile processors and WiFi 6 connectivity, though it is more limited in terms of memory and storage options.
The 11th-gen Intel Core processor in the ThinkBook 14s i Gen 2 offers a Thunderbolt 4 port as well as support for PCIe SSD Gen 4 support. Both are absent in the AMD variant, which otherwise shares the same characteristics with the Intel version.
Thanks to the 4mm-thin bezels, the ThinkBook 14s Gen 2 sports a 90% screen-to-body ratio. The anti-glare FHD IPS display is great for productivity with a style.

Reviewers from notebookcheck have found the following***:
Lenovo's mobile work device does not weigh a lot (around 1.5 kg) and offers a realistic battery life of 10 to 14 hours. Intel's integrated Iris Xe Graphics G7 96EU is responsible for the graphics department. The ThinkBook 14s Yoga ITL is a well-rounded business convertible that gave us a good overall impression.
