    Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 4 (Intel): Full Specs / In-depth Review


    reasons to BUY the Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 4 (Intel)

    1. Design and build quality

    The E14 comes with an aluminum lid and two options for the base and bottom panel, which can come in plastic or aluminum. The laptop remains durable, as the lid and base have little to no flex from them. The keyboard deck remains firm as well. In terms of dimensions, the ThinkPad keeps things pretty portable keeping the weight at around 1.59 to 1.64 kg and the profile between 17.9 to 18.9 mm.


    2. Input devices

    The lid is difficult to open with one hand, however, it greets us with a pretty good keyboard. It’s spill resistant and has a backlight, making it very reliable. The typing experience is similar to any other ThinkPad, so you’re good to go. The base also features a TrackPoint, with a trio of physical buttons, above the touchpad. The pad is covered in Mylar and is clickable as well. It’s good, but the size is a bit small.

     

    3. Battery life

    The ThinkPad E14 uses a 57Wh battery pack, which lasts for 9 hours and 52 minutes of Web browsing, or 7 hours and 51 minutes of video playback. Now, we conduct the battery tests with the 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.


    4. Performance

    You can pick between the Alder Lake U-series and P-series, along with choosing either discrete or dedicated graphics. There’s a single discrete offer, the GeForce MX550.

    CPU benchmarks

    The Core i5-1235U performs very well inside the E14, getting close to the Ryzen 7 5825U inside the ProBook 455 G9. It also performs similarly to other laptops equipped with the same CPU.


    GPU benchmarks

    Here we tested the integrated GPU, which shows decent scores against competing notebooks while doing well in games as well. Keep in mind, however, that most esports titles like CS:GO, DOTA 2, or League of Legends are more CPU bound, so the performance of the processor will factor in the FPS in games.

     1 reason NOT to buy the Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 4 (Intel)

    1. Display quality

    The ThinkPad comes with a FHD IPS display. While it has good enough qualities for general use, with excellent viewing angles, good max brightness of 298 nits, a high contrast ratio of 1620:1, and 0 PWM usage, its Creator capabilities aren’t that good, as the panel only covers 53% of the sRGB gamut.

    The color accuracy improves significantly with our Design and Gaming profile, lowering the dE value from 7.5 to 3.6, which still isn’t below 2.0. Here are our test results with the stock settings (left) and with our profile applied (right).

    A hatékony és egészségbarát profilok mellett a LaptopMedia termékeinek megvásárlásával laboratóriumaink fejlesztését is támogatja, ahol eszközöket tesztelünk a lehető legobjektívebb értékelések elkészítése érdekében.

    Irodai Munka

    Az Irodai Munka profilt elsősorban azoknak a felhasználóknak ajánljuk, akik idejük nagy részét szövegek, táblázatok nézegetésével vagy böngészéssel töltik. Ez a profil jobb megkülönböztethetőséget és tisztaságot biztosít egyenletes gamma-görbe (2.20), natív színhőmérséklet és érzékelhetően pontos színek mellett.

    Dizájn és Játék

    Ez a profil a színekkel hivatásszerűen dolgozó tervezőknek, valamint játékokhoz és filmekhez készült. A Dizájn és Játék a kijelzőpaneleket a határaikra juttatja, a lehető legpontosabbá téve őket az sRGB IEC61966-2-1 szabvány szerint a webre és a HDTV-re, D65 fehérpont mellett.

    Health-Guard

    A Health-Guard kiküszöböli a káros impulzusszélesség-modulációt (PWM) és csökkenti a negatív kék fényt, amely hatással van a szemünkre és a testünkre. Mivel minden panelhez egyedileg van szabva, a színeket érzékelhetően pontosan tartja. A Health-Guard a papírt szimulálja, így a szemre nehezedő nyomás jelentősen csökken.
