The 8 core one actually beats the i7-10510 one by more than 100% percent. In fact it is on par in terms of cpu performance with the 8 core dell xps 17. I am a coder and have a laptop with an i7 8565u cpu and the difference is absolutely night and day with the 8 core lenovo.
@@anonymcommentator I don't understand why you shouldn't buy AMD, if they are cheaper and more performant. Just doesn't make sense (to me) to question this at all.

Lisa is the best! I'm a longtime Lenovo Thinkpad user...previously an IBM ThinkPad person. I'm always on the lookout for my next Lenovo...usually purchasing mint used. Problem is, the won't die. My 2012 T430s i5 with 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB SSD still works flawlessly. I'm not a gamer or video editor, so the speed is perfect. One thing I regret Lenovo dropping on later models was the dedicated Volume, Mute and Mic buttons. I hate keyboard combinations to adjust those.
Good to know that in the same chassis AMD is only about 4% behind Intel in battery life doing light tasks. I received by AMD T14s a few weeks ago and it's great!
Exact brand model, but diff CPU performance is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for and I haven’t found it ANYWHERE else! Thanks Lisa and The mobiletechreview team!
There's at least two more reviews like that in TH-cam. I suggest you to look deeper. We do need as many as we can tho, so the regular folk understand they don't want Intel.
If you don’t do heavy computing stuff, processor type won’t make a difference. Therefore, pay more for the slower and less thermal efficient processor. Haha. Rip intel.
Every moderately technical person, including I am assuming you included, knows that VPNS are basically redundant for Data encryption. Nearly every website and definitely every website that handles private information is already encrypted. Also the vast majority of streaming services block the vast majority of vpn services these days so it doesn't work very well for that anymore either.
VPNs are only useful for 'virtual locations' to be honest. They do block ISPs from logging activity, but then do just that themselves -- regardless of what they say they do.

Even though the thunderbolt 3 patent has expired,the USB 4 is going to replace it,but it necessarily doesn't need to meet thunderbolt 3 standards, USB 4 only needs to be 10 Gbps compared to 40 in thunderbolt, and no need to include power delivery, it's upto OEM upto which rates these should perform
@@amaldb5373 you'd be surprised how fast OEMs work. A lot of features are already available in USB-C ports right now. Using a dock I already have HDMI DisplayPort Audio Ethernet Power Delivery Memory Cards USB3.1 etc... the only thing missing is external GPU.

Sounds like the HDMI is a replacement (attempt) to the Thunderbolt 3, as the Thunderbolt 3 is known for being able to push high refresh rates and stuff!
32GB configs are definitely available for the AMD version - I ordered a fully loaded one a few days ago. Might just be Lenovo's typical inconsistency of selling different SKUs in different places.
I have been waiting for Lisa to review these laptops side by side for a few months now! Was hoping for the non s version but still. Love your way of reviewing!
The T14 (no s) is more configurable in the ram... I ordered the T14 with 16gb soldered and am ordering a second stick of 16gb off Amazon for much much cheaper.... and the T14 is much cheaper, especially for the Labor Day sale.
Thinkpads were always a typist’s dream. This was my work and home laptop when I still worked. My typing speed was important, and this laptop delivered.
I can't take Lenovo seriously until they start putting vertical nav. block into their models. Old HP Elitebook worked much better for me. 70% of code editing is text navigation. With vertical navigation block you don't even have to move your hand away from the home row.
Lisa, I absolutely love the work you do! You're an absolute professional and someone I look up to. I wonder if we can get get a review of Lenovo's E series? It's a very cost efficient entry into the portable business laptop category and as a budget conscious myself I've been very fond of my 14 inch model. They're basically the cheaper sibling of the T series and they're plagued by some usual low end laptop issues (poor quality 65% srgb panel, bad heat management, lackluster performance especially on previous AMD gens) but I feel like 4000u series processors add some serious value to them, you might get a lot more performance and potentially less heat issues without increasing the price, still maintaining that sweet 500-800 bucks price range
11:08 Despite Lisas comments to the opposite, the fans look very much *not* the same: Different manufacturers, different pitch of fan blades. Also the radiators on the output vent look different.
I’m torn between the 9th gen x1 carbon and the T14s (amd). My work consistently consists of Excel and some spatial management software. Which do you prefer and which do you think would be more durable in the long run. My head says T14s but my heart says x1 carbon! Haha thank you.
im currently thinking of buying either the t14s amd or the elitebook 855 g7. unfortunatley there are no reviews of the elitebook yet...anyone got some opinions?
Renoir ain't cheap. Ryzen on desktop and Epyc using a scalable chiplet design with CCX cores but the interposer draws too much power in idle for a mobile PC, so Renoir is monolithic just like core i. OEMs tend to argue that customers ain't willing to pay equal or more for an AMD laptops (because Intel's core i was superior for more than 11 years and before that period mobile computing didn't had a great market share). Therefore OEMs tend to make shittier versions of their products when selling it with an AMD chip and they tend to make less use of it as, even with cheaper periphals, the income margin is still lower.
For higher end devices you could get a 15W AMD in place of a 35W Intel part and just get insane battery life or have a 20W GPU power delivery improvement.

As I said in the video, it's compatible with Lenovo's mechanical docks (the ones with connectors that slide into the left side of the laptop) and any USB-C dock. The AMD model isn't compatible with Thunderbolt 3 docks since it lacks Thunderbolt 3.

wow, you made a comment that if you have a Lenovo thunderbolt 3 dock you need the intel branded one... So the AMD won't work with the Thunderbolt 3? Lisa, glad you said that,,, that's a deal breaker for the AMD then..
The ONLY advantage the Intel has is Thunderbolt which most people will not need and a 4K screen which is not needed on such a small device and kills battery life. EVERYONE else should get the AMD version. Faster and cheaper.
in my country, for T14s Lenovo offer only 250 nit and 300 nit 45% NTSC screen options.(no 400 nit 72% NTSC). So I 've chosen an X13. It is the only one that has ryzen 7 and 72% NTSC screen.
I don't get it with the display? I have the 14s AMD and a 400nit panel, the colors are good and in notebookreview it is tested with 98% sRGB - so this one here clearly is only the 300nit version which obviously is worse quality
I have T14s on AMD. Question for you. I see on the specs from Lenovo's site that T14s on Intel has option wwan card Fibocom L850-GL (LTE cat.9) or L860-GL (LTE cat.16), but T14s on AMD has only compatibility with L850-GL (cat.9). I have Fibocom L860-GL and unfortunatelly wwan card is not recognized after install the latest Lenovo's drivers on my Windows 10 (version 2004). Maybe someone will know, is there a change in the future for compatibility T14s on AMD with Fibocom L860-GL ? The problem is with bios version (I have the latest) or hardware in mainboard for example ? Fibocom 850/860 have intel's chip of course.

in my country, for T14s Lenovo offer only 250 nit and 300 nit 45% NTSC screen options.(no 400 nit 72% NTSC). So I 've chosen an X13. It is the only one that has ryzen 7 and 72% NTSC screen.

I couldn't find the t14 AMD ver, but there ir the i7 10th with 16 gb of ram and 512 gb of memory, , should i buy ir or try to find the amd version?
I don't get it with the display? I have the 14s AMD and a 400nit panel, the colors are good and in notebookreview it is tested with 98% sRGB - so this one here clearly is only the 300nit version which obviously is worse quality
Intel’s graphics support only 2 WQXGA monitors and the third one must be only Full HD. Can the AMD version run three WQXGA (2560*1600px) monitors?
I have T14s on AMD. Question for you. I see on the specs from Lenovo's site that T14s on Intel has option wwan card Fibocom L850-GL (LTE cat.9) or L860-GL (LTE cat.16), but T14s on AMD has only compatibility with L850-GL (cat.9). I have Fibocom L860-GL and unfortunatelly wwan card is not recognized after install the latest Lenovo's drivers on my Windows 10 (version 2004). Maybe someone will know, is there a change in the future for compatibility T14s on AMD with Fibocom L860-GL ? The problem is with bios version (I have the latest) or hardware in mainboard for example ? Fibocom 850/860 have intel's chip of course.
well, i talked to Lenovo about this, due to i cant get 4G modul on AMD based model, when i try to config it ... so i had to go for Intel :/ well i end up with a Dell :)
Would you recommand a ryzen 7 3700u for photoediting (photoshop and lightroom)?
azeddine kadi no, old CPU already. try and find any Ryzen 4700U laptops or wait for laptops with Intel Tiger Lake CPUs like the 1165G7 ones when they launch.
Are these the 1st gen or 2nd?
