[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Durable, powerful enough for my purposes. I like the AMD processor particularly for its value. I wish the finish didn't pick up fingerprints so easily, it is very hard to keep clean. The inputs and outputs are plentiful, and the full-size ethernet port has come in handy multiple times.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first time owning a ThinkPad after being a Mac person for many many years. The machine itself is incredible. Very fast, lightweight and affordable. Worth thinking about!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The track point is what sets the Lenovo thinkpad models apart! The keyboard was a jump from the old classic style but the chiklet keys are high quality and easy to get used to. All in all a professional user experience
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had the T14 Gen 3 AMD for a couple weeks now. I initially was really happy with it for the price, but after slowly running into issues, I'm now very disappointed in my purchase unless there's some way to fix it. It seems like the wifi and bluetooth components or drivers are of poor quality. Wifi will take a while to pull internet even after connecting and verifying that the password is okay. I also haven't been able to get the laptop working on any hotspots that require browser authentication such as airport internet. Every time I've run into wifi issus, my phone, desktop, and old laptop have all connected just fine.
Bluetooth seems to be an even worse problem. I had no bluetooth trouble for about two weeks and then it totally went out on me. I'm not able to detect or connect to any devices and my previously paired devices (like my mouse) just suddenly stopped working.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The laptop is nice, but has a tendency to turn off overnight, and has at least once turned off when having a full battery the moment the cable was unplugged. However, the storage is good, and it's reasonably fast.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The performance on this is great. I had a newer Intel laptop that I didn't like because Intel has been doing terrible with laptop CPUs lately. They gained performance by just running hotter and wasting battery. This is the only line with AMD unfortunately, otherwise I would have looked at the X1 Carbon line, maybe even Yoga. My machine runs quietly with long battery life and is fast.
The main complaint I have with this PC is the chassis. I have a X1 Yoga gen1 that feels more premium than this laptop. Despite using magnesium and being durable, the lid feels the same as generic laptops like the Dell Latitude (yuck) by having rounded sides. I like the chassis of my older ThinkPad's which were flat and not tapered/rounded.
The second complaint is the lack of SD or microSD slots. I cannot do any photo editing without a dongle. I do appreciate having a Ethernet port now, which is very rare in laptops these days.
My machine has the 2.2k 16:10 display which seems to be the sweet spot. 4k runs hotter and wastes battery for very little visual gain. I do wish they went a little higher to match the DPI of older 1440p/WQHD displays. The ppi of this machine is ~189ppi while older 1440p displays were 210ppi, which looked beautiful on my X1 Yoga. The resolution is sharp enough to not really notice any pixelation and low enough to not have HiDPI issues in Linux. I would have selected a touch screen option at this resolution if it were offered, though I do prefer matte displays (no glare or reflections).
The keyboard is still good despite having lower travel than their older legendary keyboards. I especially appreciate the Track Point I use it more than I use the Touch Pad. Unfortunately, they designed the buttons for it to be flush with the laptop, so when I click them, I also tap the Touch Pad with my thumb, double clicking. I usually end up disabling my Touch Pad completely because of it. I don't know if this is an issue in Windows as I am running Linux and not dual booting.
Overall, I am happy with my purchase, but I hope that future options in the ThinkPad line will include AMD, 210ppi 16:10 touch displays, SD slots, and a premium feeling flat lid.
