At the time, I was looking for one of thebest business laptopsI could find.
Fast, reliable, capable of running all the usual Office apps and browsers and nothing too strenuous.

A key requirement was a comfortable keyboard for typing.
It was probably the best money I ever spent on a machine.
Then I cracked kick off the lid of the new laptop - and fell in love all over again.
I cant stay away from this ThinkPad.
I admire its purity.
On paper, the T14s may not be thebest Lenovo ThinkPadout there.
The only real downside in construction is that the T14s is undeniably a finger-print magnet.
In my experience, 14in is the perfect size for a business laptop.
A 13in feels too cramped, while 15.6in models tend to be heavier and less easy to transport.
Using the Lenovo Vantage app, I headed into parameters > machine > Inputs & accessories.
The ThinkPads most famous feature is alive and well in the T14s.
And if you dont use it, youll never notice its there.

In day-to-day use over months, Ive never once accidently jostled it when typing.
In use, the trackpad is smooth, responsive, with three physical buttons above for additional cursor control.
Without a decent GPU, the laptop will struggle with triple-A games.

Battery life was fair but not jaw-dropping.
At least the batteries are replaceable.
After extended use, I did find the laptop can run warm.
Overall, the performance is excellent for its use-case.
Robustly constructed, the gear feels like it should last a long time, too.
Should I buy the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s?
You want limitless upgrade options
Like many modern ThinkPads, the T14s shies away from total upgradeability.
you’re able to boost the SSD, for example, but not the RAM.
For more upgrade options, try older models like the T480s.
For more power and performance, we tested thebest mobile workstations.
