Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 3 review – fantastic efficiency
The ThinkPad E-series has been one of the best-selling business laptops out there. It has a very competitive price while remaining pretty capable in terms of both performance and versatility. This particular model is the ThinkPad E14 Gen 3, and it comes equipped with Ryzen 5000U processors.
This includes some rebranded Zen 2 CPUs, as well as the brand new Zen 3 devices. Of course, this will change when the Zen 3+ processors hit the market. However, this laptop is not all about performance, as the main target group is the office worker. With that said, Lenovo needed to make the laptop a bargain for the corporate world, where companies buy their staff secure devices.
And security it has, with Lenovo’s plethora of software and firmware solutions. Our interest, however, is taken by the fingerprint reader and the optional IR face recognition scanner. Both of these technological advancements seem to be making their way into all kinds of laptops.
