Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 2 review – the budget option is surprisingly good

From: Alex Iliev | 0

As of lately, laptop manufacturers rarely change the visual design of their second (and even third) generation devices. However, considering the name change that happened last year, Lenovo made a bigger improvement this year, even though the name of their new ThinkPad E14 only includes a “Gen 2”, the CPU options you can choose from are far more superior.

This device comes with either the AMD Ryzen 4000U series or the Intel Tiger Lake devices. And our particular unit features the latter. Additionally, this business machine comes with only 1080p display options, which is a pleasant change. However, Lenovo still smuggles a TN panel, among three more (IPS) options, one of which is touch-enabled.

Moreover, the E-series finally include a Thunderbolt connection, at least for the Intel version, and thanks to the Tiger Lake processors, it is Thunderbolt 4! So, let’s first discuss all of the changes on the outside, before we dig inside, and check the display, and the performance.
