Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Business Laptop w/ AMD
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Lenovo ThinkPad T14s with AMD is an ultra-slim business laptop, the successor to the T495s. Compared to the full-size T14, the ThinkPad T14s has virtually no compromise: It drops the RJ45 connection but can otherwise be configured to the same level, despite having a chassis that is marginally thinner (just over 1mm / 0.04").
The ThinkPad T14s with AMD, like other ThinkPad 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 T14s. There is also full-size T14 models powered by either AMD or Intel.

Reviewer score 82%The ThinkPad T14s is a very responsive notebook and has plenty of performance for all common office tasks. The AMD SKU performs better than the Intel model, but there can be problems when you use real-time audio applications. The integrated RX Vega 7 offers sufficient performance even for modern titles at low details.
