Lenovo ThinkPad L14 Gen 4 (Intel) review – light device with quiet fan and long battery life
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.

It’s great to see that the Core i7-1355U inside of our laptop can maintain high frequencies under any kind of load. However, the 94°C in the second column can raise a few eyebrows.
Comfort during full load
The fan is almost dead silent during light system usage and it’s quiet when the CPU is loaded at max. In this scenario, the keyboard deck and the left palm rest area feel a bit warm but not too hot. So you can use the device comfortably even when the processor is stressed for a long time. The three power presets are integrated into the Windows Power modes which is very convenient.
The fan doesn’t spin when the laptop is in an idle state and it reaches ~2700 RPM under heavy processor stress.
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. The 57Wh battery lasts for 20 hours of Web browsing or 10 hours of video playback. To achieve that, you have to apply the “Balanced” mode in the Windows “Power & Battery” menu and set the “Scheme for battery” to “Balanced” preset in the BIOS.
