日本Lenovo ThinkBook 14s Yoga Gen 3 review – this is one fantastic little business convertible
Temperatures and comfort, Battery Life
Max CPU load
In this test we use 100% on the CPU cores, monitoring their frequencies and chip temperature. The first column shows a computer’s reaction to a short load (2-10 seconds), the second column simulates a serious task (between 15 and 30 seconds), and the third column is a good indicator of how good the laptop is for long loads such as video rendering.
Average P-core frequency; Average E-core frequency; CPU temp.; Package Power
| Intel Core i5-1335U (15W TDP) | 0:02 – 0:10 sec | 0:15 – 0:30 sec | 10:00 – 15:00 min |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lenovo ThinkBook 14s Yoga Gen 3 | 1.91 GHz @ 1.20 GHz @ 63°C @ 19W | 1.86 GHz @ 0.90 GHz @ 74°C @ 14W | 1.83 GHz @ 0.90 GHz @ 60°C @ 13W |
| HP ProBook 450 G10 | 3.41 GHz @ 2.79 GHz @ 94°C @ 48W | 2.80 GHz @ 2.17 GHz @ 94°C @ 31W | 1.87 GHz @ 2.04 GHz @ 81°C @ 23W |
| Acer Swift Go 16 (SFG16-71) | 3.29 GHz @ 2.46 GHz @ 65°C @ 45W | 3.06 GHz @ 2.37 GHz @ 71°C @ 42W | 1.80 GHz @ 1.98 GHz @ 61°C @ 28W |
Okay, you shouldn’t read too much into this particular test in the case of the ThinkBook 14s Yoga Gen 3. Its frequencies showed a very weird behavior when we started the most CPU-intensive load on Prime95. Apparently, the software didn’t really want to push the system to the max, as the power draw was too low. On the other hand, the device performs really well in synthetic benchmarks and in real life.
Comfort during full load
And because of the low response from the CPU, the fan barely spins, and there is very little heat felt on the keyboard.
Battery
Now, we conduct the battery tests with Windows Better performance setting turned on, screen brightness adjusted to 120 nits and all other programs turned off except for the one we are testing the notebook with. This device’s 60Wh battery pack lasts for 11 hours and 54 minutes of Web browsing, or 9 hours and 49 minutes of video playback.
In order to simulate real-life conditions, we used our own script for automatic web browsing through over 70 websites.
For every test like this, we use the same video in HD.
