Yeah I noticed the Pro 4650 and Pro 4750 CPUs push the date for U.S. shipment to 5+ weeks. I couldn't deal with that - bought one preconfigured ready to ship instead. Had to get the 250 nit panel, but mostly always connected to dual external screens.
I was really set to get the E14, but this L14 number of ports is starting to look real good. No soldered ram is very good too. Is it possible to attach an ssd into the wwan slot, allowing for dual storage?

Hi. Thank you for the overview. Hard to decide what do go for. Would you recommend a L14 with more powerful hardware or a T14/T490 with less powerful hardware? Assuming they end up with the same price tag. Or might the E14 steal the show? I dont see a big difference between the L and the E Series. Any Ideas?
Thanks for the review and detailed overview of all the details. Is it, in any way possible, to install a second m2.2242 SSD into the empty slot (broadband) in either the T14 or L14? It's really unfortunate two storage slots are not offered in any of the thin Thinkpads in recent gens.

Great review and great detailed comparison. On Lenovo Singapore site - I was able to configure the L15 Gen 1 with AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 4750U, 32GB Ram, 512 SSD and display - 15.6" FHD(1920x1080) IPS Anti-Glare 300nits Touch; all these specs exactly same as the P14s AMD that I configured with the L15 turning out to be almost 165 USD cheaper with a 15 inch screen. I think the only difference is the slimness that the P14s brings with more premium feel. With same specs I guess both should perform the same.
Thank you for the review! I'm consider buying the E14 AMD. Since I dont want to buy any new laptop in the next 3-4 years, I am willing to overpay a little more for this L14.

I hate rubberized plastic. I like my old L460 case made of pure ABS entirely. It doesn't pretend and doesn't have to. And nowadays T and L series fingerprint looks ugly, too vulgar and too visibly. My old L460 looks more classy.
Thanks for your review, first one, rather balanced! Now onto the laptop itself - typing this from my brand new L14 AMD - keyboard feels ok, no flex, at least no noticeable one, cant complain there. Plastic build, sure, its L14 and my R400 was also GFRP device but with magnesium frame underneath it and with thicker plastic panels. What is not OK with this laptop is how fragile palmrest feels, it flexes rather easily, rather deeply and you can bend and twist laptop very easy when doing so from its palmrest area corners, disappointed in that, cause otherwise it seems like a good laptop, thinking about whether I should keep it or return it due to poor palmrest durability.
Thanks for the warm comments. It’s a reasonable machine. It might help to workout the return window, set a reminder on the alarm before that & use the unit much as you can to work out if it’s a good fit.
@@GreenGreenStore yeah, that flex was just too much, I wonder if E14 would be better in this regard, but I'll wait for what new cpus Intel and AMD release soonish and what tablets and laptops Microsoft and Apple, perhaps Asus with it's Zenbook Duo upgrade(hopefully) release in coming months.

Now onto the laptop itself - typing this from my brand new L14 AMD - keyboard feels ok, no flex, at least no noticeable one, cant complain there. Plastic build, sure, its L14 and my R400 was also GFRP device but with magnesium frame underneath it and with thicker plastic panels.
What is not OK with this laptop is how fragile palmrest feels, it flexes rather easily, rather deeply and you can bend and twist laptop very easy when doing so from its palmrest area corners, disappointed in that, cause otherwise it seems like a good laptop, thinking about whether I should keep it or return it due to poor palmrest durability.
Thanks for the warm comments. It’s a reasonable machine. It might help to workout the return window, set a reminder on the alarm before that & use the unit much as you can to work out if it’s a good fit.
Ah. Looking at Reddit you've sent it back? 😭
@@GreenGreenStore yeah, that flex was just too much, I wonder if E14 would be better in this regard, but I'll wait for what new cpus Intel and AMD release soonish and what tablets and laptops Microsoft and Apple, perhaps Asus with it's Zenbook Duo upgrade(hopefully) release in coming months.
@@GreenGreenStore Is yours has this similar issue too? Is it bend really that bad. I ordered one actually. Might consider to sell it after it arrived
@@jill4470 Does it stretch too much for you?
Wireless?
It has WiFi.
I think, the L series made of a recycle plastic to show how lenovo cares about the environment......😑
I suppose that one could always grab a T series. 👍
Your audio is so bad I quit at 2 minutes
Haha you've found an older video. Yeah the audio could be better. ☺
