Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 3 review – let’s talk about portable security
Lenovo is the leader in the business notebook market. Its ThinkPad series is known all around the globe and even predates the Lenovo brand. But we’re not going to delve into the history books of portable computers. Instead, we have a review to make, and you have a review to read.
We are going to talk about the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 3. It sits in the middle of the price bracket of business notebooks. Lenovo has made it with a thought for the on-the-go professionals as well as the environment.
The manufacturer is really proud of the use of recycled plastics in the speaker enclosure, the battery, the power adapter, and the packaging. According to them, the content of recycled materials in the aforementioned components is more than 90%.
In addition, the notebook itself can be found with a wide range of processor options. Some include Intel’s Alder Lake U-series, while others rely on the P-series of the same architecture.
You also get a lot of display options, but the key takeaway from this is that you won’t find a TN panel. Finally! And yes, there is a 2.8K OLED display up for grabs.
