Product Overview

Lenovo ThinkPad T14s GEN 2 i is an ultra-slim business laptop powered by 11th-gen Intel Core vPro processors combined with a rich set of security and connectivity features and options, including dual Thunderbolt 4 ports and 5G WWAN.

Like the 1st-gen T14s i, the T14s GEN 2 i is available in both Storm Grey and Black, which correspond with aluminum and carbon fiber top covers respectively. Like its predecessor, too, the 2nd-gen model is an always-connected laptop, though it now features optional 5G WWAN and WiFi 6E. This allows the laptop to maintain high data rates and low latency on the go.

Other premium features kept onto the T14s Gen 2 i include the optional 4K UHD IPS display and front-facing Dolby Audio speaker system. The robust security solutions that business users have come to expect of the ThinkPad T-series are naturally retained.

Unlike the T14s i, the new model uses 10nm low-powered mobile processors. LPDDR4x 4266MHz memory is used to pair with the Tiger Lake CPUs.

Alongside the Intel-powered T14s GEN 2 i, Lenovo also unveiled the AMD-powered T14s GEN 2 as well as more conventional T14 GEN 2 and T14 GEN 2 i.

Reviewers from notebookcheck have found:

Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 2 is one of the most expensive models that uses the "old" 16:9 format. The new design is slightly louder and more balanced in the high frequency range, but the bass is minimally worse. Lenovo also offers optional features such as a new 1080p webcam and 5G.

Pros

Matte 16:9 display
Good keyboard
Long battery life

Cons

Low-power display
Low-resolution display
