[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this T14s as a replacement for my ~7 year old T440s, which still works. For business productivity work, nothing beats this laptop for the price. It has a sturdy feel to it from keyboard to case without being heavy. One thing that jumped out at me was that white on this screen is white like a piece of printer paper. The same white on my old screen looks yellowish in comparison. One criticism is that the famous Thinkpad keyboard feels a little less comfortable than my old one. The keys feel "harder" compared to the old one. When running my finger over a key, it feels like the concave curve of the key is shallower, which I don't like. I still switch back to my old T440s for some tasks, and I prefer to type on that keyboard. All things considered, this is a high quality laptop in a market full of cheap garbage.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Worthy successor of the T4## series - recommended!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The T14s (i7-10) is a long-awaited successor of my T450s (i5-5), which has diligently and reliably served me for almost 5y. Now that some keys have started flaking off letters, it was time for a replacement, even though everything is still working. Before, I have had a T420 and a T61, also those more than satsfactory.
The new T14s is a lot slimmer than my T450s, which I hadn't realized until they were both seated on my desk: the difference is substantial, and so its weight loss, which will be welcome when traveling.
Build quality is excellent, all parts fit snugly, hinges have the right amount of resistance. The bottom plate never gets hot, and the fan is never loud.
The 4K screen is fantastically bright and with very saturated colors that predecessors were unable to achieve. Microscopy images never looked better, and the camera has a slider to block view, one thing I missed on my old ThinkPads.
The keyboard is as before: class leading for long stints of frantic typing of science papers.
The docking station is a bit different. Whereas the T450s simply clicks in place and is connected for charging and all other services that a docking station takes care of, the T14s need to be put in lace first, then connected by means of a slider. Forgetting the slider will not connect the dock, nor recharge.
Another thing is that when docked, only one USB on the right-hand side is open for USB sticks, but that is were my Unifying Receiver goes. The USB at left is hidden by the dock, HDMI and ear/mic are accessible. Minor quibbles really, but still.

À propos charging, battery time is vastly improved, from ~4h for my T450s (undegraded during its lifetime!) to at least 6h and probably longer - haven't had an occasion yet that completely drained my battery.
Taking everything together, the new T14s 1st Generation is a very good replacement for my old T450s and its predecessors, for typical office tasks (eg. text processing, spreadsheets, multimedia presentations). It is a very light and most portable workhorse, no flimsiness at all, and expected to live up to its longevity expectations.
I am very happy with it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this product for nursing school. With the current Covid-19 pandemic, my classes are both in person and virtually. Since so much of the material is presented online, it is required to bring a computer with you to class on campus. This ThinkPad is so convenient for on the go. It is super lightweight and incredibly fast to start up. I recommend this computer for ANY student or anyone that needs to travel with a laptop/ tablet. As always, Lenovo has satisfied every day use.
P.S- Celebrate Nurses everywhere!!!!!!

ThinkPad Ultra Docking Station & T14s computer

Verified Purchase:Yes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ultra Docking station replacment of older unit - smaller better locking device, snaps into place much easier. Also purchased T14s to replace T450. Wow similar but much better. 450 lasted 6 yrs & still going. Temptation to switch to much lighter & touch screen was too much to ignore! Love it. Fast response time, great keyboard, love scrolling using touch screen!
