Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Business Laptop w/ AMD
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Lenovo ThinkPad T14 is the direct descendant of the original IBM ThinkPad T-series business laptops. The AMD-powered version is the successor to the T495.
The ThinkPad T14 with AMD, like other T-series business laptops, is tested against 12 military-grade requirements and more than 200 quality checks to ensure its robustness. For enhanced security, the ThinkShield security solutions, optional 500 nits touchscreen with PrivacyGuard, and exclusive AMD Memory Guard provides comprehensive memory encryption.
This 2020 model also features WiFi 6 and optional LTE-A WWAN to ensure fast network connection in all professional and personal use cases.
Like before, Lenovo also markets an Intel-powered T14. There is also an even slimmer, ultrabook variant, the T14s with AMD or Intel.
While Lenovo has been at the forefront of introducing AMD-powered laptops, Ryzen chips have yet to find their ways to the larger, Thinkpad T15 or its derivatives.

Reviewer score 80%The ThinkPad T14 has a slot for a regular M.2-2280 SSD. Our test unit is equipped with a drive from Samsung (PM981a) and a capacity of 512 GB. The performance of the PCIe-SSD is very good. Lenovo still favors a quiet fan noise for its business laptops.
