Great review. Actually, I was looking for the T 14 with the AMD, so here we are shopping for a P14s, the T14 in disguise. Going with 32GB RAM in dual. Compared to the T14 Gen 2 with the MX450 it seems that the situation will be the same. Overall still slightly better performance at a better price point. the lack of a card reader is a bummer though.
Appreciate the review. I looked at all the alternatives and here in Australia they all come with 250 nit displays (the t14 is only 6 cores), lower end CPUs, 16gb RAM soldered on, and more expensive, sometimes by over $1000. I got this machine for $1448 ($1125 usd) and I'll be happy with it. It's way better than my 4 year old HP x2 g2 which could never be upgraded past windows 1909 (2004 is officially unsupported). I don't need discrete graphics, I'm not a gamer. I only do work my smartphone can't handle and wanted a top performer for zoom calls and that microsd card reader is awesome for me to transfer stuff to/from phones easier. The gen 2 usb c port will be plenty to drive my 2x 1080p displays from a dock so I'm happy.
Hi there, I'm Australian but stuck in Spain - decent configuration and fair prices are hard to come by. Would you care to share your configuration?

Hello , Is it great for students who frequently runs virtual machine, visual studio, photoshop, Premiere Pro (32gb) ? or any other thinkpad model that can reccomend?
P14s should run great with those. You'll definitely to buy it configured with more than 8GB of RAM, or you can do like I did and buy the baseline model and upgrade the RAM yourself. Taking the backplate off was a bit of a pain in the ass, but that's because the backplate is firmly held in and is not flimsy like the backplate on most laptops. I forgot to tighten the screws back in after putting the backplate off and I didn't notice a difference at all (but I still put the screws back in after discovering this)! Once you pop off the backplate (don't forget to take the SIM card tray out beforehand), the single open RAM slot is easily accessible. You can also upgrade the NVME drive too on your own.
I'm currently using X395 (Ryzen 5 3500u pro). The device is good, so far... battery is a bit weak and the monitor is not bright enough when using internal battery. Is this the power management setting of AMD ?
Would this laptop be good for someone handling very heavy excels, big database files and requires many tabs open (10+) at the same time on his browser?! If not, what would you recommend?! Thank you very much in advance!
@@Dovecomputers thank you for the fast reply!!! Sadly its now out of stock on Lenovo's website and I cant find it elsewhere. I will either go for the XPS 13 with the 11th gen intel processor or the macbook pro with m1 and 16gb
Is the P14s' GPU annny better than the T14 AMD? Or... is the 250 nit display any better than the T14 250 nit display, as far as color accuracy? The 400 nit model would be either really expensive or delayed 5 weeks when ordering from Lenovo.
If you compare the P14s AMD model to the T14 AMD, its exactly the same CPU/GPU. The 250nits display on the P14s/T14 is poor both in brightness and colour accuracy. Worth the extra money IMO.
1) 400 nits on the review model. 2) The P14s Intel version has discrete GPU (NVIDIA Quadro P520), with the P14s AMD, nothing is different with the T14 AMD, hence my comments.
The ThinkPad P14s would be perfect for software development. The Yoga 7 is a great laptop but the ThinkPad P14s has arguably better build quality and keyboard.
@@Dovecomputers I concur! It matches the performance of the Ryzen 7 2700 in my desktop while drawing less power and running cooler. I bought the P14s solely for the processor.
@@Kacicka999 P14s is definitely the better option compared to the T14s. The ability to upgrade the RAM is crucial for long term viability and for not having to pay the Lenovo tax just to have more RAM. I put a 16GB stick of RAM in my P14s for less than a third of what Lenovo would have charged.
I have this one. Happy all around, I am not satisfied with the "400 nits" display, still find it not bright enough, its probably 350max. Btw mine has an sd card reader.

This is still the "gen 1" version, it's been out since before the 5000 series was announced. Presumably the next gen 2 version will have the new 5000 series CPUs, but who knows when that will come out
I could be wrong, but I'm not sure Lenovo is going to make another AMD version. The 11th Gen Intel is probably considered on par (or close enough), it has thunderbolt, and they may not see a reason to make dual versions. I hope I'm wrong, but I think the wind is blowing that way.
While I do agree that a GPU would be nice, the P520 & T500 aren't any better than the Vega 7 graphics. All that adding a GPU (of that variety) would do is decrease battery life & increase thermals
Totally agree, it's a balance between performance and battery life/thermals. That's why manufacturers like Lenovo and HP have this new category of mobile workstations with 'low end' GPU's. Not quite convinced. As you say, are they any better than the integrated GPU models?
@@Dovecomputers According to NotebookCheck, the integrated Vega 7 graphics are slighter faster on average than both the P500 & P520. Neither are crazy powerful...I suppose if you need a good GPU, the Legion laptops are an option Still strange that they don't have a higher-end GPU option outside of the gaming laptops, unless you want a dumpy Intel CPU

Not much difference from what I've heard. Just be prepared to max out the memory on the 14s because you can't upgrade.

where did you buy it from?

So the chassis is that of t14, not t14s?
The Ryzen variant is like the T14. It doesn't have any dedicated graphic cards....The intel variant of P14s has an Nvidia Quadro with 4GB VRam.
