About this deal

The maximum measured brightness is 309 nits (cd/m2) in the middle of the screen and 290 nits (cd/m2) average across the surface with a maximum deviation of 13%. The Correlated Color Temperature on a white screen and at maximum brightness is 6830K (average) – slightly colder than the 6500K optimum for sRGB.

In the Wi-Fi test with our reference-grade router Netgear Nighthawk AX12, the Lenovo ThinkPad L14 G2 only achieves mediocre speeds of 907 MBit/s when transmitting and 662 MBit/s when receiving data.The 25-watt power limit is reasonable for the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5675U. The processor is able to deliver 30 per cent more sustained performance than the Intel Alder Lake CPU in the ThinkPad T16 (limited to 20 watts). The Lenovo ThinkPad L14 uses Intel’s Core i5-10210U CPU and 8GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM. Although it’s not the most powerful option out there, it performs well enough for simple office tasks but could become overwhelmed when under an increased strain with numerous programmes running at once. Lenovo ThinkPad L14 is equipped has a Full HD IPS screen, model number LG Display LP140WFА-SPD4. Its diagonal is 14″ (35.56 cm), and the resolution – 1920 х 1080. Additionally, the screen ratio is 16:9, the pixel density – 157 ppi, their pitch – 0.161 x 0.161 mm. The screen can be considered Retina when viewed from at least 56 cm (from this distance, the average human eye can’t see the individual pixels).

Nevertheless, it does have its assets. The anti-glare coating helps alleviate some of the brightness issues and is also available with a touchscreen. Despite the poor colour accuracy, we wouldn’t write this screen off completely. It’s not best-suited for users who spend a lot of time mixing colours in Photoshop or InDesign, but it’s pleasant enough for simple office tasks. Lenovo ThinkPad L14 review: Keyboard and touchpad Despite being extremely warm throughout the entire test, ThinkPad L14 is actually posting very respectable numbers – both in this test and in benchmarks. Probably you would want to run the Intelligent cooling setup if you have long code compilations, that would take a couple of hours, nonetheless. Comfort during full load Besides several exciting improvements, the Lenovo ThinkPad L14 G3 AMD also has a few advantages over the ThinkPad T14 G3. In this review, we will discuss whether they are enough to make the L14 the better choice. The L14 G3 features two RAM slots – this is a step-up from the T series, whose AMD models even only come with soldered RAM. Our “Design and Gaming” profile delivers optimal color temperature (6500K) at 140 cd/m2 luminance and sRGB gamma mode. On a busy day with reasonably intense use - with an average 15 tabs open in Google Chrome - the battery only lasts around five hours. Chances are slim that it will last you a full workday, so you’ll want to make sure you carry a charger. On the other hand, once you connect the L14 to a power outlet, it’s capable of charging up to 80% in just one hour, so all is not lost. Nevertheless, we felt quite underwhelmed by this disappointing battery life. Lenovo ThinkPad L14 review: Specs and performance
