- A review of the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 3 (AMD) business laptop. (AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U, 16GB DDR5 6400MHz, 512GB PCIe Gen4 NMVe M.2 2280 SSD, AMD Radeon 680M GPU)
Lenovo’s ThinkPad T14 range has always been a popular business laptop. The T14s Gen 3 is the slightly slimmer sibling of the T14. New for this year is the new AMD Ryzen 6000U and Intel 12th Gen CPUs, USB4.0, 16:10 displays options including a 2.8K OLED 90 Hz panel and a redesigned case. Does it hold onto its crown as the best 14 inch business laptop?

Damn. That’s a thorough review. Considering this for development. Thank you.
Thanks so much for including the msi overlay!
Really enjoyed your video, thank you!
Excellent review. I love your channel!
Great review man, keep it up!
The built quality on these laptops are some of the best I have ever seen and the performance is more than I have ever asked form a laptop
Add to that any mods and customizations and they are way better than most. I have this model and love it. Big Thinkpad fan!
thank you for the review and suggestions regarding the Lenovo Thinkpad T14s Gen3. as well as giving its competitors from other trademarks that made me glance at the Dell Latitude 7420 before, but the current generation of Lenovo uses embedded / soldered RAM more often, this makes us hold back on saving until we can meet higher RAM because it's only done once before purchase.
However the USB gen 4 port is very tempting.
Thank You For your information
one-fold greeting
I bought the t14 g3 amd, and with 32gb-6400mhz, soldered ram isn't really an issue, since I won't need to upgrade it anyway...
great review
I work in IT for a large corporation. This laptop with 12th generation Intel CPU is the most popular for the 2nd half of 2022 for employee PC refresh requests. Great keyboard, excellent performance, good display & camera, and good battery life.
Wouls you recommend an intel chip or amd?
How long the battery lasts?
@@PL-ht3xw Intel if your tasks are mostly single thread. Word, Excel, Powerpoint, ..etc.
AMD if you are dealing with multithreads core use. Examples: C++ coding, Typescript, Golang (aka Go), or Machine Learning. Far less throttling.
@@ankushdeep8233 6-7 hours for single thread and web browsing tasks.
even managers requested this laptop?)
Is the model you're using in the video Villi Black? I really like the greyness of the palmrest in contrast with the black keyboard keys
Great review, I bought the P14s Gen3 same spec except 100%sRGB, 400 nits display for my daughter’s IT and Computing course, thank you.
Thanks. Working on the P14s Gen3 review as we speak. 👍
@Dovecomputers hey how's P14s gen2 and Gen3. I'm planning to buy P14s gen2. Is it a good choice for my software development freelance work. Expecting your reply man
@@aravindbabu2211 no, bye a gen 3 either way Intel or AMD 12th gen and Ryzen 6000 are far superior than previous gen 2 offerings.
What about gen2 intel7 11th gen p14s?
@@aravindbabu2211 of course it’s a good pc, I’m saying there is a very large uplift in performance with 12th gen and if you can get gen 3 then do so
Good review.
I've found the keyboard on my T14s Gen 3 to have a very unforgiving, loud and harsh keyboard, have you found your laptop to have these problems with the keyboard?
I've sent it back to get it replaced under warranty, hopefully its just a problem with mine.
I just got mine and I have not experienced this. It feels very nice to type on. Do you have any updates on your situation?
I have this very same laptop spec for spec. I'm really happy I found a laptop that is as light/compact as this one that can do light gaming and everything else with no trouble.
Bang for your buck is very real with this model.
Have you experienced sleep problem with ryzen 6000 series ? I read on internet that they tend to crash / not wake up / overheat when put in sleep mode
The best bussines laptop
Period
The business line has no OLED option. The p15v last gen is one of the cheapest option with 64gb RAM, but the SD card reader is middle speed 200MB/s, when cards support now 1000MB/s and more
I also think the screen has only 45% NTSC. Thats the only option I can order here anyway.
Yes it does have an OLED option but it forces a 300 euro upgrade with the fibocom modem. Also it has an option for a 1920x1200 400 nits 72% NTSC. Mine arrived today with the 72% NTSC.
But I just checked and at the moment there is no option to select those on the order page. I assume they are currently out of stock. I ordered mine with black friday.
@@vincentbaeten173 lenovo Finland has for AMD model only touch 45% NTSC and no touch 45% NTSC. No Windows, 32gb ram, 1tb ssd, 6850u cpu for 2019€.With some of the laptops they ask 200€ for extra 8GB RAM. I can buy 64GB 4800 MHz for 250-300€.
@@az9az9az9 This models supports 64gb ram? I thought 32 was the maximum. Can it be that is it currently out of stock for lenovo Finland? It does not show up as an option at the moment for me too. I live in Belgium.
@@vincentbaeten173 P15v gen 3 supports 64GB. P15v gen 3 has 15.6" UHD (3840 x 2160), IPS, Anti-Glare, Non-Touch, HDR 400, 100%sRGB, 600 nits option. 8GB ram version is 2649€ + the RAM you buy and upgrade yourself.
there have been mulitple users (including me) having rattling trackpad on T14 and T14s gen 3. Basically what happens is there is large gap between the trackpad and the laptop frame, so the trackpad makes noises when your fingers just touch on it, not even click down. Very annoying!
Same issue on my P15 GEN2. Thinkpad insurance replaced a new trackpad for me. The new trackpad is ok. Still not feeling comfortable.
@@Simon-kz4dvOh that's good! I ended up returning it... it's so annoying. I don't know why Lenovo cannot make such a simple thing right...
Had this on my T14s, sended it back. Waiting for a new one hopefully without touchpad rattle…..
@@PL-ht3xw Sorry to hear that... I think it is a quite common issue at least on T14/T14s of this generation.. Fingers crossed!
I have the same issue aswell as coil wine. I got a replacement from Lenovo that was even worse. Worse gap on trackpad and more coil whine
It is sell as a 2 in 1 laptop, it really can be flex as tablet? Like the Yoga ones?
i dont know what to chose either a thinkpad x1 carbon 9 gen or T14s 3 Gen
What's with the low mic volume on this model
The only thing missing in these T14s is the built in 5G. Otherwise it would be almost perfect
So true. Even the Gen 4 doesn't have a 5G WWAN option. Strange.
Man I would really really like if toy found chance to cimpare this one with HP 845 G9
The HP EB 845 G9 is in the pipeline for review. 👍
Too dim and bad web camera. Only good for boring & mundane office work.
Is the USB4 port in this laptop EGPU compatible, would I be able to to connect an external gpu to this laptop?
Yes, as it is TB3 and TB4 backward compatible.
Why were you wearing a badge? 😃
So it’s not good for light video editing ?
You can do but use an external monitor as the 14 inch display 1080P is too small for video editing.
I can't find the charging port for the laptop
Usb c charging
Great laptop, but those bezels...
What happend to your Ryzen T14s G3 trackpad, it look like is going deep everytime while you click on each bottom corners of the trackpad, is your trackpad is broken? 🙄
@lupo is it true that their military grade test is just gimmick? IMO the laptop looks more fragile than older versions of thinkpad..
@strictspoon "200+ military great tests that has done on ThinkPad laptops is a marketing garbage now. " I can't understand this sentence. What does it mean?
Many people say in their after-sale comments from Taobao that there are lots of software and solidware issues with this machine and with very bad build quality. But youtubers are saying it is good. Any REAL users can say something about that ?
I am using thinkpad for years there are no better quality product except macbook pro, period
I work in IT inside the USA. Build quality has been great 95% of the time for Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 3. 5% od the time we get some bad builds.
@@akin242002What are some of the more common issues for the T14s Gen3?
I can't believe how cheap the trackpad is on a Lenovo t14s. Destroys any desire to buy this laptop. These machines have nothing in common with the true Thinkpads from IBM
Over heating issues.. anyone?
Not experienced any in all the deployments (>100) we are done.
The Smart Card reader is useless....
Most enterprises use it for login authentication.
Another useless ThinkPad with Fucklet. .... nextgen of an appalling keyboard that lacks dedicated keys (for example SysRQ), tactile orientation and grouping into blocks. Perfect ThinkPad T420/X220 with masterpiece keyboard. Not everyone just uses Word and pees on Powerpoint.
