For those wondering. Another difference between the t14 and t14s is that the t14s only has solderd Memory while the t14 has an additoinal SoDimm slot.

Now that virtualisation under AMD has matured, specifically with regards to Android emulation, this is something I'm seriously considering...great review as always Josh!

I was working as an intern at IBM in the 90s and I was pushing a cart full of these thinkpads. One of them almost fell on the floor and I almost died.

Ordered this with the 400nit the day it was avaliable, after checking lenovos store multiple times a day for months. Recived it a few weeks ago, but have not gotten to use it yet unfortunatly. Its still in its box. Camt wait to unbox it and start up.

"Most programmers I know code with music anyway" That's so accurate

Stumble upon this while considering a laptop for on-the-go work and wow! What a load of well communicated information geared towards a diverse group of consumers! I think you may have sold me on this BEAST of a computer. Thanks!

If only Lenovo would put a Ryzen 4000 series CPU in the X1 Carbon😍

Seriously dude! I've been waiting for this!!!! Thanks!

Man I love your honest reviews.

Every time I think about getting a laptop, I come to this channel. Hands down, the most straightforward, professional, and easy-to listen to videos on the subject. Hope you are doing well Josh!

Hey Josh! Sir you are probably one of the best tech reviewers i have seen in this short life of mine till now..... Keep going.... Love the way u deliver the detailed information.

Excellent review , as always Josh, and thank you for digging in to find cure to raise the brightness settings. You make all the difference in the world for your viewers by doing this, that's what makes you stand out and unique 👍👍👍👌

Wow! I'm sold! I'll be buying this for work purposes, which involves heavy use of spreadsheets and multiple cloud softwares. I believe this T14S is good enough. Thank you for the detailed and honest review. Subscribed! :)

Thank you for the review. Based on that I just ordered on t14s. Waiting to get it. Will write my impressions on it.

Just an FYI, 2K resolution is 1080p, if you want to refer to 1440p, then it is more close to 2.5K! Figured you should know before educating the masses incorrectly.

I ordered the 14" Ideapad 5, with the 4500U cpu, based on your review(s) it's been great, and i really like it! build is nice, keyboard is nice etc. i got the better screen option and it'll do! anyways, keep it up! i enjoy your content

Haha, JustJosh back with another banger of a review!

This video was extremely well made. Great job!

Thank you for this review, Josh! 👍🏻I like your detailed information about using this machine and the facts i get from you to find just the right machine for me. 👌🏻

IMO 1080p is the best for 14" because it doesn't need any scaling

I been waiting for this review and laptop pre lockdown! But now I want a 15 inch version!

Another great review...Intel is getting their arse handed to them. Love the competition. I think next year is going to be very exciting as I believe almost all of the major laptop vendors will offer a AMD option for their premium laptops...also is the next gen version of USB going to be available soon-ish that will offer all the speed of Thunderbolt. Also will be interesting to see what Apple can pull off with their own ARM chips in Macbooks. It's getting interesting in 2021 (hopefully without Covid19). I'm jussayin.....

@Just Josh: Thanks, always, for the programmer perspective! Could you do a video on the P14s? It's hard to find regular reviews on it, let alone the thorough stress tests. I'm interested to see the Mozilla Compile times b/w it and other laptops with dedicated graphics. It'd also be nice to see it up against the Dell 9310; your review got me wondering.... lol

Another great video and comprehensive review compared against the other popular laptops 😊😊

Thank you for such reviews ❤️

Great video Josh! Was waiting for this video to drop since you recommended it in your discord :)

The actual performance of the chip is way above basic use only. Very good device.

Just want to point out, the SSD in T14s (AMD) is slowed down by Lenovo. My T14s came with 1 TB Western Digital SSD which was meant to give me 3500/3100 (read/write respectively) after reading the specification. Performing several Crystal disk mark tests, I found out that the SSD only gave around 1660/1400 (read/write respectively). 2 other people have also reported the same problem on reddit. This could be the reason why the odd results on importing SQL database.

And it has trackpoint! Which is great when you're programmer, because you don't need to put your hand/fingers off the keyboard. Pity it's so rare in notebooks.

this laptop is perfectly ok for some photo editing and 3d design. the vega 7 gpu of the ryzen 7 4750u is faster than some entry level dedicated gpus. far from optimal, but definitely workable.

9:42 Would I personally buy it LMAO, you already bought it, Josh

What it needs is a 1920x1200 display more than a higher resolution one. Thinkpads always had taller screens, actually, 4:3 would be ideal, but with so many manufacturers now using 16:10, it would be more cost effective than 16:12.

Hey Josh, I am about do buy myself a laptop for working/casual porpuses (which makes this laptop also interesting). I came across LG's "Gram 15". Since you never mentioned it, I wondered what you would think about this laptop? Is there a possibillity for a review from youre side? Greetings from Germany.

Amazing reviews as always.

Really appreciate the programming benchmarks!

Lenovo love sticking low brightness, low gamut 16:9 screens on even their most expensive Thinkpads

I've been using the predecessor (T495s) for 9 months now and I think it's a really good laptop.

A lot of software engineers would go for this or T14 with AMD 4750U running Linux.

1. Would have loved to see the demo of speakers and fan noise. I was curious about the high pitch noise you repeatedly mentioned. 2. I am not sure but I think you should put these laptops on max brightness while recording. 3. Overall nice review 10/11

Hey Josh! Thanks for yet another top-notched quality review, this channel deserves a million subs!

What you think about the Lenovo Thinkpad E14 with i7 10th gen, 16gb ram ddr4, 512ssd

Another very informative review. Thank you! I just priced out the Thinkpad X13 AMD with this T14s AMD with same specs (AMD Ryzen 7 4750U, 16GB DDR4, 128GB SSD (don't upgrade to the larger hard drive from Lenovo. Buy a Samsung 512GB NVme SSD from Amazon for under $100 and swap it out), 500nits FHD IPS with Privacy Screen, WiFi 6, Backlit Keyboard, Fingerprint Reader and IR/720fps Camera. The T14s priced at $1687 and the X13 came in at $1378. The only difference between the 2 laptops is that the T14s is a touch screen and X13 is not. Oddly the X13 Intel variant does come with a touchscreen option. Too bad the X13 Yoga (same specs as X13 but with touchscreen) only comes in the Intel variant - no AMD.

Great video like always Josh!

Great review! Subscribed!

Filling out those bezels with a 3:2 screen would have been super cool! :D That said, great review!

Exactly what I needed . Thank you for the review

Great review! I'd love to see your opinion on the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7

Im painting my walls black to prove you wrong. It will match my interior design 😂

What are the minimum specs for Autodesk CAD and Revit? I cannot find anything about graphics. Would a AMD Ryzen 7 with Radeon Graphics be enough (with 16gb ram)

Atlast! ThinkPad

Shoot. The only problem I have with it is the fact that it doesn't have a graphics card. I render too much.

That was an excellent and thoughtful review! Thanks!

He is so honest , humble and accurate that if youtube allow i would like his video 100 times 👍🙏❤️

How about the Thinkpad X13 AMD? Waiting forward for your review on that and the comparison between the two. Thanks for awesome review anyhow!

I have a Thinkpad E15 Gen 2 AMD. Bigger screen, cheaper price. It's another one worth looking at in this area.

Does this AMD device work with the USB-C Thinkpad dock?

That's the laptop my gf has. It's a decent machine,. I couldn't use that keyboard at all! So weird to me. I prefer my Lenovo 5

Thanks Josh. After this watching this video, I ordered the E14 Gen 2 with the 4700u, 512 GB ssd and 16 GB ram. This will be my main laptop for programming. The ram is 8gb soldiered and 8gb sodimm. I am happy to get the full DDR4 low latency RAMs and not the high latency LPDDR4 ones. I heard that there is a potential performance issue with Ryzen 4000 series processors and high latency LPDDR4 rams as present in some notebooks. It would be great if you can test this on the 4500u and 4700u with both dual channel and soldiered configs and make a video.

Hey Josh, thanks for the review. The reason why you are seeing a large performance difference in your MySQL test is most likely related to the different file systems as well as the operating system kernel's handing of file operation.

I would like you to review some Chromebook laptops.. they are just more affordable and a lot of people use basic stuff.

SUPERB FACIAL EXPRESSIONS - A TRUE GEM YOU ARE JOSH. PLEASE REVIEW E14 I WANT TO SAVE SOME MONEY I WANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH WORSE THE CASE IS. THANK YOU

Are there any issues using 2 QHD external monitors on a non-thunderbolt laptop? If not I'm definitely throwing arch on this for my next development laptop.

I was just sent this laptop for my work.I had never heard of this brand.i just knew Dell and HP was better than this brand.Boy was I wrong. Thinkpad had me to "think again"🤭🤣🤣I love this review.Now I await to hear from IT to set up this double monitor.

Did you test Premiere Pro with Mercury Playback Engine (GPU Accelerated) option enabled in project settings and Hardware Encoding in export settings (it works on AMD since v14.2)?

About G14 Josh, it is louder only when you use graphic card in it. Agree that keyboard brightness isnt that good comparing to T14s, but for that you get better screen with higher frequency with better color accuracy, high performance CPU( which is better for future) GTX/RTX card if you want to play a little or use CAD (but some people will need to do it in headphones :D ) and better build materials ( magnesium alloy vs smudgy plastic chassis in t14) for the same price

IT'S THE T-SERIES

T14s or T14 Gen 1?

5th, I want to but an Asus Vivobook S15 for programming, but now hell Nah!, prefer this, but I wished it was less expensive

would love to see 2 in one review as thats what im looking for.

I'm trying to find a replacement for my t480. I have 3, I've been cannibalizing over the past 10 years. I love the t480, easily servicable, dual batteries... so many ports... I guess the days are over finding refurbished thinkpads under $300, transferring $250 worth of hardware and ending up with what would have been a new 1500 machine... I was wondering what the T series fanbase would recommend if I started down the path of a new laptop I can service and upgrade...?

woah! I like your approach, direct to the point and did not wasted my time. but I still watched the whole video. lol.

I ordered me a thinkpad T14 Ryzen 7 with 16gb onboard plus a 16gb module (the education model with an upgrade to 32gb ram) because i really need the rj45 ethernet port. I expect it to have about the same power and can't wait for it to arrive, i'm so excited. (upgrading from a dell Latitude E4300 from 2010 and going to sell all my desktop computers)

I love Josh reviews cos he is annoying very particular I like people who are very picky and he is very very picky I like the details of your review

Thanks for this. I'm looking to buy one soon

Amazing laptop I really like it thank you for review

Great review! How about looking at some Eluktronics laptops, such as an RP-15 or Mech-3?

For the hardware acceleration that I was talking to you Josh it was maybe a new version of Adobe that did increase just a bit the performace and optimized a tiny bit the render times because render times is only what I can see in the video of my friend ZKYLOS and not the GPU usage

I just got one from my employer. I love the perf on this laptop!

It's like Lenovo offers a race car processor with inadequate tyres.... For this model, in Lenovo's website, in 'customize' section, the max available memory is 16 GB. Once they added a 32 GB option, I will be interested. Even my mobile phone has more memory...

great review as always

Would you say the 4500u version of this is overkill for regular everyday use? It's meant to be a replacement for my SFFPC desktop since I will be moving abrod soon and want more portability. I'm looking for a good all-rounder (browsing, translation work, medium gaming) and I too remember how good Thinkpads were. Would an IdeaPad be better value or is this a good enough upgrade to justify the 300/400€ difference?

Idk why but I feel the josh's lack of hand movements while talking strange

I got a T14 with a Ryzen 4750u, 400 nits display, 500gb ssd and it's great. It also has front firing speakers. The display is more color accurate.

I am a Computer Science student, what would you choose, Thinkpad E14 with ryzen 4700U or Lenovo Legion 5 with 4800h?

Hi josh. I have question. Apps excel processing large amount of row datas, is it cpu intnesive or ram intensive? And what kind pc configuration will better ? Thank you.

For Linux which processor is best amd or intel????

I've been anxiously waiting for this review, thank you for making it! The bezels and audio are a bit of a downside, but the combination of the Ryzen CPU, 14" 400 nit display and the great ThinkPad keyboard make this machine perfect for coding.

Thank you for your work! Is it powerful enough for some light video editing (ignoring the screen quality)

Speaking of more premium laptops, are you planning to review Ideapad/Yoga Slim 7 in the future?

This professional notebook for "casual" users? So for serious user, you'd recommend the slower, hotter, and more expensive Intel-based laptop, won't you? WTF...

Great review as always. A request: Could you add some information on Linux compatibility of the laptops you review? That would be very helpful for Linux users like me.

I'm assuming you did specifically enable Hardware Acceleration for encoding (it's in a different spot than for playback/rendering acceleration). If so, it's kinda dissapointing. It seems Intels Quick Sync is used by Premiere much better than AMD during encoding/exporting. Other vids do seem to show Davinci Resolve times being about the same with Ryzen and Intel for exporting so that would be great to see a comparison there. I managed to pick up the Ideapad 5 14 4700u before it went out of stock again but will do 1080p editing at most so it should still be sufficient for that.

Great detailed review. Thank you! Intel will really be hurting as they have virtually nothing better to offer now both on the desktop and notebook side!

Ah balls. This one got me hooked but for now, there isn't much Ryzen 4000 laptops here in Malaysia unfortunately. Was considering to get a new laptop soon. And the only option that I liked was some Asus Vivobook, which was mostly good and probably similar to the Ideapad 5, but lacks configurable RAM.

Suppose in my configuration, onboard memory 8gb ram, optional memory 8 gb. Suddenly my onboard memory will get disturb, so optional or secondary ram will work?

I have two main problems: a huge overheating problem (Yes it performs blazingly fast, but will also throttle hard and run into it’s 105°C thermal limit) and only lasts for 3.5 hours (just browsing). My model: 35.56 cm (14.0") Full-HD IPS matt (1920 x 1080, 400nits), AMD Ryzen™ 7 PRO 4750U OctaCore (1.70 bis 4.1 GHz), 1TB NVMe-SSD, 32GB RAM, AMD Radeon™ RX Vega 7 Grafik shared, IR-Webcam I am really considering to sent this back.

hi Josh , in india we dont have so many AMD options at decent pricing , one of them is thinkpad e14 gen 2 (AMD 4700U) , any chance you have an opinion on this model? Thanks Sumit

Slim 7 maybe next :) ?

Great review!
