Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 4 review – sleek, thin, and snappy


If your Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 4 has an Intel Evo sticker on the base, this means you can expect at least decent battery life, good responsiveness during work, fast boot times, and fast charging. Interestingly, the machine is thinner than its close sibling – the ThinkPad T14 Gen 4 but it’s offered with (almost) the same hardware. That’s why we bought a device with the exact same CPU that is in our already reviewed non-S machine – the Core i7-1355U. This will allow us to see if the thin profile affects negatively the cooling capabilities of the T14s laptop or not.

The device be configured with Intel Raptor Lake U or P CPUs. This time around there are no dGPU options so you can rely on the iGPU inside of the processor. However, all the configurations come with dual-channel memory which has a positive impact on the performance of the integrated graphics. Even the port selection is almost the same as the T14 laptop and that sounds good to us.

There are six 16:10 display options – two of the 1200p panels are touchscreens. There is even an OLED display variant 2880×1800 resolution. This small gadget offers many security features like an optional IR camera that is tied with Human-presence detection and facial recognition, a dTPM module, vPro processors, a manual shutter for the Web camera, etc. Expectedly, most of these goodies will cost you an extra amount of money.
