Doesn't compare to prior Thinkpads
on September 11, 2020

We've been using Thinkpads for two decads: T61, T420, T430, T450, T460. We skipped to the T14 10th Gen Intel and it was a complete disaster. It produced so much heat we were overrun with complaints and had to ship them all back. We replaced the Intel with the AMD Ryzen 5 T14. These have been OK except a few major issues: (1) Trackpad accuracy is terrible. It's almost unusable. Jerky and inaccurate even with latest drivers. We've never experienced such a think. (2) Sharp edges (same issue with T490) are uncomfortable on user's wrist while typing. (3) Runs a bit warm (AMD is tolerable, Intel was NOT tolerable and was painful experience). (4) Battery life is just "OK". Since can't swap battery (internal now) this is a bummer. (5) Several users physical mouse buttons for the TrackPoint have stopped working. They work FINE in Linux and the BIOS but do NOT work in Windows.
We've never ever ever had issues like this with any prior Thinkpads. Unfortunately, we're starting to wonder if, after 20 yeras, we need to look at other brands. We used to LOVE these machines.
Would not recommend the T14 Gen 1 at all. We may be returning several we just bought due to complaints.

If you are ok with the sacrifices, go for it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The t14 delivers excellent performance for the price(800€) even with the ryzen 5 in it. People say that the baseline 250nits screen is too dim, and yes for outdoors it may be the case but I have pretty sensitive eyes and for my everyday work i'm using about 60-70% of the screen brightness, so it is far from "unusable" as people say. The battery seems ok to me. The typing is very good and satisfying although some keys do weird sounds sometimes. The most negative thing is the build quality for me, you can wabble the chassis when the laptop is opened and same thing with the screen. When closed it is much more resistant so transporting it won't be a problem at all. In conclusion: an amazing thinkpad experience but some cuts were made to achieve this price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my T14 AMD laptop. It is sleek, quiet and fast. The Dolby speakers on the top are a big improvement. I use it for light work and mainly to browse the web and stream movies. The shipping was very delayed due to COVID-19 disruptions but it was definitely worth the wait. I have no complaints with it.

1- Price significantly outweighs value.
2- A 6-bit IPS panel. I didn't even know it was possible for an IPS panel to be such a piece of crap.
3- Contrast adjustment unavailable, sometimes contrast is decent, other times everything looks blown out.
4- Opening the case is unnecessarily tedious. I don't mind screws, but I hate prying.
5- No external/secondary battery option.
6- Decent battery life only exists with extreme tweaking and extensive use of hibernation. Sleep wastes far too much power. Hibernation is a poor tradeoff because it thrashes the write-cycles on the SSD which will lead to premature death.
7- The BIOS is a joke.
8- Why is the BIOS white? So you can blind me?
9- Booting with display at max brightness is annoying.
10- Screen brightness range is too limited, can't dim enough for use in the dark/at night.
11- One USB A per side
12- No USB-C on right side
13- Fingerprint Enrollment ALWAYS fails
14- Doesn't support Surface Pen
1+ Ethernet port
2+ Headphone jack
3+ Touchscreen w/multi-touch
4+ Keyboard is comfortable to type on
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
