Description

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.

The L14 likewise has one crucial advantage over the Intel variant of the T14: a higher power limit of 25 watts and a better cooling solution. As a result, the L series, aimed mainly at business users and companies, could now potentially be appealing to consumers as well. 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. Lenovo ThinkPad L14’s display doesn’t rely on PWM to adjust its brightness levels. This makes it comfortable for use during extended work periods, without presenting any harm to your eyes in this aspect. Warranty: Regional Carry-in Warranty is only applicable in ASEAN countries. Lenovo makes no representation or warranty regarding third party products or services.

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 Interestingly, the new L14 has around the same CPU performance as its predecessor with an eight-core Ryzen CPU. But our database suggests you will get anapproximately 25% performance gain with eight Cezanne/Barcelo U cores at the same power limits. Battery: These systems do not support batteries that are not genuine Lenovo-made or authorised. Systems will continue to boot, but may not charge unauthorised batteries. Lenovo has no responsibility for the performance or safety of unauthorised batteries, and provides no warranties for failures or damage arising out of their use. **Battery life is based on the MobileMark® 2014 methodology and is an estimated maximum. Actual battery life may vary based on many factors, including screen brightness, active applications, features, power management settings, battery age and conditioning, and other customer preferences. And while it clearly doesn’t have the battery life of the Dell Latitude 14 5410, we were still pretty happy with what we saw – a bit more than 9 hours and 45 minutes of Web browsing and pretty much the same amount of time during watching HD videos.

Its weight might make it tiresome to carry around all day and the ThinkPad’s signature chunky design might make it difficult to fit into a small bag. However, a tote bag might suffice if it’s just for a short walk to the local cafe. After all, it doesn’t seem like we’ll be commuting anywhere further until 2021. Lenovo ThinkPad L14 review: DisplayAt first glance, the 14in 1080p IPS display seems perfectly acceptable. In fact, it gave the impression of a reasonably bright screen capable of producing vivid colours. However, further inspection and a few tests revealed that colour fidelity is far from ideal. The L14’s screen covered just 59.5% of the sRGB colour gamut, while the maximum brightness is only 243.5 cd/m2. That’s a poor technical showing, and we’d be concerned about using the laptop in bright conditions, or for anything requiring colour accuracy. The L14 comes with a perfectly acceptable number of ports: two USB 3.1 Gen 1, one HDMI 1.4, an RJ45, and a USB-C for its 65W charger. There’s also a MicroSD card reader, while users are able to choose whether the device includes a SIM tray. This device’s speakers are placed on the bottom panel. Alongside them, there are the ventilation grills, and the hot air escapes from the right side of the laptop. Actual battery life may vary depending on application usage, settings, features or tasks selected, network configuration, operating temperature and many other factors.

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 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. The L14’s battery definitely has a lot of potential. Lenovo claims that the L14 has a battery life of 12 hours and, as we put it to the test, the statement proved to be (almost) factual. The ThinkPad’s battery managed to survive 11hrs 18mins in our battery testing, which is quite impressive. In practise, however, we found that the real-world battery life isn’t anything like as good as this. 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). Installing our Health-Guard profile not only eliminates PWM but also reduces the harmful Blue Light emissions while keeping the colors of the screen perceptually accurate. If you’re not familiar with the Blue light, the TL;DR version is – emissions that negatively affect your eyes, skin, and your whole body. You can find more information about that in our dedicated article on Blue Light. Conclusions

Thanks to the two copper heat pipes, temperatures only reached 75°C (167°F) over a prolonged period. In contrast, the Intel variants of the L14 G3 are only fitted with one heat pipe, similar to the ThinkPad T series. All the other devices in our comparison mostly delivered similar performance thanks to their six-core AMD CPU. The case of the Lenovo ThinkPad L14 G2 is made of robust plastic. The build quality is on a high level. There are no gaps or chinks anywhere. The display has an opening angle of 180 degrees. The display lid is quite stiff. Our “Design and Gaming” profile delivers optimal color temperature (6500K) at 140 cd/m2 luminance and sRGB gamma mode. 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). In our benchmark tests, the L14 scored an 87 in image editing, 115 in video editing, and a 28 in multitasking, which reflected our initial impressions. Its overall score was 67 - not the strongest, but certainly adequate for most users. It’s outpaced by most of the competition, such as the LG Gram 14 and its overall score of 73, but at this price, it’s hard to complain. Basically, it’s just enough muscle to get you through the day, if you manage to stay away from anything too demanding. Lenovo ThinkPad L14 review: Verdict
