Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 laptop review: Snapdragon X Elite enables epic battery life

[Redaktion]

Two years after the first Snapdragon ThinkPad, Lenovo releases a new variant. The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 offers excellent battery life numbers, but compatibility can still be problematic in some cases.

Maybe if they stopped trying to cool these with a single fan and used a proper cooling system with 2 fans and heat pipes, like Apple does in pro, it wouldn't be as hot.

When you see body half empty instead of filled with battery, you can tell it's just another half assed laptop produced from whatever OEM parts were available.

Setting aside the handicapped x86 application support, over 22 hours or more than 1,320 minutes of ultralight browsing on only 58Wh is extremely impressive all on it's own considering that only the M3 Pro Macbook Pro 16 2023 with a 99.6Wh battery comes close at around 1,200 minutes or 20 hours.

The next 3 closest laptops are Windows devices:

• [86Wh] Lenovo ThinkPad T16 G2 @ 1,130 minutes or just over 19 hours
• [78.6Wh] HP Elitebook 1040 G7 @ 1,128 minutes or just over 18.75 hours
• [99.9Wh] MSI Prestige 16 B1MG @ 1,100 minutes or just over 18.25 hours

of ultralight browsing

This phrase defines everything. In real browsing, the numbers will have to be divided by 2 times.

ultralight browsing

It's not "ultralight", their browsing test even includes running js benchmark periodically.

Eliminate that webcam bump. It detracts from the aesthetic. Just make the bezel thicker instead. Or work on reducing the size of the camera.

Space the ports further apart. There is plenty of estate available on the chassis or the board.

In the 3dmark rankings in this review, you show the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G12 with the intel 155H to be 19% faster the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s G4 w/ the 7840U/780m, but in the x1 carbon g12 review, the 3dmark scores show the x1 carbon with the 155H to be 2% slower than the P14s G4 with the 7840U/780m. Why is there such a dramatic difference in scores between the P14s and T14s with the same CPU and iGPU, especially considering the P14s and T14s are so similar? surely the P14s doesn't somehow make the same chip 21% faster?

It wont let me link the other review but I got their from clicking on the link for the x1 carbon g12 in the 3dmark graph and the review is titled "Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G12 laptop review: First major refresh in three years"

T14s and P14s are not at all "so similar". They are very different laptops with a completely different design. The P14s is traditionally based on the T14, not the T14s.
