  • Lisa Gade reviews the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 2 14” business Ultrabook with Thunderbolt 4 and optional NVIDIA MX450 graphics. Thanks to our video’s sponsor, the Dreame L10 Pro robot vac & mop: amzn.to/3q5a5gT . The ThinkPad runs Windows 10 Pro on Intel Core i5 and i7 11th gen Tiger Lake U series 28 watt CPUs with Iris Xe graphics and optional vPro. It’s also available with AMD Ryzen Pro 5 5650 and 7 5850 processors. The laptop is available with and without a touchscreen in full HD and 4K resolutions and 4G LTE is optional while Wi-Fi 6E is standard. This slim and light Ultrabook isn’t as light as the ThinkPad X1 Carbon 9th gen, but it makes up for it with a lower price tag, greater key travel and more ports including Ethernet.

      This works, but not something you want to use if sustained performance (like number crunching, 3D modeling, video editing, or gaming) is priority. Technically the common denominator ram is in "dual channel", but you won't get the same benefits of it when using 2 identical SODIMMS or soldered LPDDR4x.

      Thinkpad when it’s was IBM was a sexy beast. Now I used Fujitsu Lifebook for classes because of how Lenovo redesign their Thinkpad on the T430/T530 and newer.

      @@alpzepta I think there is a lot of clichee in your comment. And contradiction even: Your good old T420/T520 are Lenovo machines, they even incorporated significant design changes that Lenovo made after the takeover of the branch. Also what you say about the keyboard is in many regard not true. What I think bears thruth is that the older keyboards had a better layout than the never 6-row ones. However, the older keyboards had a far inferior typing feel as the key stabilisation and tactility on the T430/x230 is lightyears away further from the older ones. Also an advantage is the backlit keyboard. You can easily compare thinklight and backlit keyboard on the xx30 generation, and the backlit keyboard wins in a lot of categories. Also, there are many aspects where modern thinkpad are just great machines. I would never trade them for something like a Fujitsu Lifebook. That sounds like a nightmare to me...

      @@slighter to be fair a newest Thinkpad keyboard is not the worst keyboard in the world it’s still light year better than MacBook and HP and ugh disgusting Toshiba laptop. it’s just that I am not a fan of the key shapes and I growing up with the older IBM Thinkpad and I still have my father’s retired T43 and when I used to use the T420 at work, it’s was nostalgia. I can still see why you like the newer Thinkpad better, there’s some great progression Lenovo had made to the Thinkpad other than giving a new tech spec. My mum owned a Thinkpad Yoga and I still like it better than her old Toshiba laptop, Thinkpad never let her down in the business with the newer keyboard design, she can now be more productive than on her old uncomfortable, overheating Toshiba laptop.
      Still have the T420 and T43 with me but I only use T420 as a spare laptop. Still my Fujitsu Lifebook keyboard won’t ever be good compare to a Thinkpad and you’re not wrong either but I only try Fujitsu because it’s Made in Japan to try it out. Again new Thinkpad is still far better than Most business laptop although Dell doing pretty good.

      @@SteveSunny M.2 SSDs are really not that big. Especially when manufacturers start using 2230/2242 SSDs on the first slot. A compromise im willing to accept, since as you said, 2TB SSDs can be used on the 2nd slot. And i think 8TB SSDs do exist as well. It is definitely a cost saving measure as not many will open up the laptop to upgrade the SSD. But ive seen many people who have completely filled their first SSD because they bought 128/256GB from the manufacturer(again because upgrade pricing). For those people, the easiest option would be adding an SSD, IF the laptop had a 2nd slot. Look at the consumer line laptops(even from lenovo), they usually have more than one SSD slot

      people just give those manufactured too much credit and let pass everything. I still rock an older t-thinkpad because it still does it job very good but the more i look at what those new laptop the more is don't really want to replace my laptop it is like if things are going back in time instead of moving forward, we are given less for more money and we just take it without even complaining.
      there is ton of space in a laptop specially a regular thinkpad to put everything people need and since component are becoming smaller and smaller even more today than before.
      my thinkpad still has the removable two-batteries option which give me the choice of size of battery if i prefer a slimmer look or prioritize battery life and go for a bulkier one which give me a 7-14-21 hours autonomy choice according to my needs, still the possiblility to install two ssd in it, and you are corrrect they are nothing in term of size, no soldered ram, i can go to 64 if there is the need without being locked by the manufactured soldered ram. it is like if we are going back but it is sold to us as progress. which one ? i don"t know.

    I just wonder if back cover from Gen2 will fit Gen1 laptop as it seems gen2 cover has more vents. Mine Gen1 AMD is definitely runs on a warm side, especially left side where mosfets and SSD are located. Vents underneath are closed nevertheless... I put my T14 on a two bottle caps, each under back corner feet so it had more space to "breath" but that doesn't help much. Without these DIY spacers it's even hotter.
    I just miss a more durable, hard finish I had in T480s (which I loved!!!). Newer model has this self-healing matte finish that's not scratch proof :( That model (T480 and T480S) was the last great ThinkPad. Lenovo nerfed "s" series since T490s by removing ethernet port and memory slot, making it essentially a X1 Carbon with different look. Before it was a holy trinity: Wanted a bigger machine? Get non "s" version, something slimmer but still upgradable? Get "s" model and X1 for those wanting the cutting edge (pun intended). Anyway, I'm quite happy with T14, lots of power, 32GB ram comes handy with eve-ng labs or nested esxi and couple vms running inside.

Screen is something they call WVA, which stands for 'wide viewing angle', it's a 250 nits, 262k colors Innolux TFT panel... It can't get any worse. Even the keyboard on the T14 is absolute trash!! (and is this even better than the one they put on the X1 series???!!!) Shipping them back for refund first thing on Monday.
    Now I understand your lack of enthusiasm in this review. I'm not enthusiastic, either. I'm furious. This is a Yugo pretending to be an Alfa Romeo.

    Could you look up the panel manufacturer part number in hwinfo? I'm trying to find the screen from the T14 gen 2 and can only find Lenovo's FRU for it, which isn't helpful
    The T14s gen 2 (2021) is virtually identical to the T480s (2018), except for the soldered wifi card (boo intel). The only thing I'm interested in is the 4K 500 nit display. Does anyone know the part number for it? I'd like to buy and upgrade from my QHD screen (the 40-pin eDP cable supports both QHD and UHD)

    It doesn't run hot without the dedicated Nvidia GPU, and this is what you have, so you shouldn't say what they say on other reviews. Notbookcheck stated much hotter temps, but with dedicated GPU, and I am using the one with the CPU graphics, it is great and battery is great. Maybe it is still hotter compared to similar machine with 11th gen integrated graphics, but I wouldn't say 'hot' I do hear the fan sometimes, when plenty is opened:)

    Hi Lisa. Thanks for all your reviews. I have a Lenovo question. My last purchase was a T470 and it is very much upgradable with sodimm memory slots, and easy access to drives, etc. The model you review here has one memory slot soldiered which limits the max RAM, and not dual channel. Furthermore, i tend to install Linux, and Lenovos are very good at running that OS. What has replaced the T model for consumer upgradability? Thank for your insight.

      Got a Latitude and a Thinkpad at work, id take the Lenovo over the Dell any day of the week that ends on "Y".
      A 7th gen X1 Carbon that is, which is pretty close to perfect. All things considered if probably shoot for a X1 Yoga next time around tho.
      Theres alot of cases where a tablet simply would be more convenient. Its just a shame they dont offer it with the same soft-touch coating.
      Really looking forward to new models of both lines, with hopefully AMD APU's, since those ultra-portables lack a bit in the oompf-department.

      @@shekcbanny The lack of upgradability is a real bummer on modern thinkpads, but other than that (having the direct comparison right next to me) the Dell feels like a good but slightly inferior knockoff.
      (If you stick with the anti-glare low-res display, no idea why anyone in their right mind would opt for those horrible glossy one.)
      The keyboard is way worse than the one on the Thinkpad, same goes for the trackpoint, no power over Thunderbolt, generally more noisy and considerably more heavy.
      All in all, i do like the Lenovo alot better than the Dell simply because its a nicer experience.
      In terms of features and performance theres not a whole lot of difference tho...
      Its really a well made knockoff, albeit with some compromises. (Having to carry a separate power brick is probably the most annoying one.)

    I'm trying to figure out why this laptop is so expensive. Like I understand that it's a (ultra?) thin laptop with a current Intel processor, but I just purchased a gaming laptop with a 4070 RTX card inside of it for $300 LESS than this laptop costs. Granted the Intel processor in my new laptop is 12th generation, not 13th, and ofcourse it's heavier than this thin ThinkPad, but I still don't understand why this laptop costs $1,500.

    Lenovo must go back to upgradability. Nobody wants a MacBook in thinkpad-design. This is not what users are looking for. Small batteries, soldered ram, less ports, no more 2.5 inch hdds even for bigger models, annoying plastic clipses when opening the machines, no more magnesium chassis even on the expensive X series. This is just not the way to go.
