Great review. Once you go oled you will never want to go back. The legion slim 5 oled blew me away and changed my opinions and thoughts on all laptops. I honestly think Lenovo is putting out the best quality right now out any other laptop manufacture. It’s also awesome to see the ThinkPad line still alive. My first ever laptop was an old ibm thinkpad with a pentium 1 lol.

As a non-techie (who lives in a cave) your Thinkpad videos have been my main intro to the brand and this famous line. The reliability was the main draw for me but the more I learn the more I like, especially the enhanced repairability of the new Gen 5 T14 in partnership with iFixit.

Thank you for the review. I'm just wondering if OLED has any downsides? Do you find the battery life of the OLED screen version, shorter than IPS screen versions (above 10 hours)? Also, how do you find it on your eyes (Some say it is less blue light and better for eyes, while others say OLED makes eyes more tired)?
@delasantos 6 ай бұрын
Good question
@tmoehle2342 3 ай бұрын
With the Gen 3 model the battery life went down from 12-13 hours in practical use to 3-4 hours with the OLED panel in comparison to the 1080p low-power LCD screen.

I'd go for the P14s Gen 4 AMD for slightly better peformance (tdp limit / profile) and the option for 64GB RAM. Everything else is identical. Sometimes they even have the same price! You'd also get the pro drivers and ISV certification if that matters for you.

The T14 gen 4 and P14s gen 4 use the same panels between the two lines, however the panels are sourced from different manufacturers (ex. CSOT, AUO, etc.) but they are all interchangeable, i.e. - the panels used in the T14 can be used in the P14s and vice versa. I have done many panel swaps in that regard.

There are several reasons you may prefer a T14 over T14s such as better thermals due to slightly thicker chassis, an rj-45 jack and easily swappable keyboard. However to your point, the T14s offers a more premium feel and build quality due to the materials used, so there's always trade-offs.
