Lenovo ThinkPad

T14s

PROS Potent eight-

core Ryzen Pro

processor. Exemplary

keyboard. Usual

sterling ThinkPad

build quality.

CONS No 4K screen

option. No

Thunderbolt 3 port.

So-so webcam

quality.

BOTTOM LINE

Lenovo’s Ryzen-based

ThinkPad T14s is by

and large a

spectacular success.

Our one caveat: The

AMD model of this

14-inch business thin-

and-light tops out at

a 1080p screen.
