Lenovo T14 Gen 5 Ryzen Review - My Favourite Thinkpad Gets a Refresh!

[@pkmachinegun]

The fact that you’re one of the ONLY channels that has this laptop shows that my choice to subscribe here back in 2021 was completely sound. Thanks for making awesome vids all this time

[@MashITTech]

Thanks mate, appreciate the kind words. You know, my very first video on the channel was a t14 way back in 2020, I have a real soft spot for t14’s and thinkpads in general! Got a p1 gen7 arriving later this week, can’t wait to try that one too

[@pkmachinegun]

@@MashITTechI think the thing that keeps me away from stuff other than the T series is the battery life and performance. It cut deep when I saw that this Gen 5 was worse off on battery life. I’m window shopping to see if there was anything worth upgrading to from my Gen 2 T14S (AMD). Looks like I might just keep waiting.

[@xforky5485]

Got this laptop last week and upgraded it with a Samsung 990 Pro 4TB. It’s been absolutely killer!

[@MashITTech]

Glad you are enjoying it

[@MattHash69]

How is the battery life on your unit?

[@iSowelu]

Great video! Upgradable and or swappable RAM, SSD, battery, keyboard and trackpad is quite rare these days!

[@kharismanando9051]

you shouldn't expect less for an expensive thinkpad, the cheaper ones i understand the compromise. not for this tho

Thank you for the detailed and easy-to-understand comparison video! I have a Thinkpad T14 Gen 4, but seeing the advancements in the Gen 5 makes me want to get one.

[@peterboil4064]

Thanks a lot for the review, I've been waiting for it! I own a T14s gen 4 AMD and I dearly miss the Ethernet port....

[@MashITTech]

Yes, I exchanged my t14s gen 4 last year to a t14 as I also missed the Ethernet port! I still use it so often and hate carrying dongles

[@HuMoDz]

@@MashITTech I'm a bit torn between those two models, if the ethernet port wasn't an issue and they were for the same price, which one would you suggest? The T14s seems to have way better battery life (11h vs T14's 6h for youtube?), but I'm worried if it loses too much on performance or thermals.

[@metaphor4439]

Hey mate, youre probably the first channel to review this model that has been out for months. Very weird that other tech channels didn't review T14 G5 laptops

[@MashITTech]

lenovo dont seem to send out review units which is why the big KZbinrs dont have it and as I always buy the units I review anyway I can choose what I want. Always love the thinkpads and in particular the T series so I always try and cover them

[@vincec09]

thanks for sharing this specific model, and I actually bought the same one and waiting for it now.

[@leo_craft1]

I WILL buy one in some time, for the school comeback period, hopefully we'll get a deal on this

[@leo_craft1]

From an owner of 3 thinkpads x1 carbon, i gotta say this is better than the x1 because of the upgradable ram

[@MrCommodoreAtari]

Thank you for your test. I've owned the Gen4 AMD since last year and it's still the best laptop of my life. I'm so happy with it, it's a great overall package. The battery still holds up, the display is a blast (I use a screen protector and it makes it even better), I voluntarily type on the Thinkpad keyboard instead of the expensive desktop keyboard, I still like the feel of the surface. It's easy to clean. It's absolutely silent when I'm browsing or using office applications. I think the Gen 5 will certainly be a little better overall, but I'll be using my Gen4 for a long time to come. Best regards

[@your_unforgetable_moments]

What about X1? Seems like it's even better

[@pouf-dk3nq]

Amazing review man, you're the only one I've seen with this gorgeous unit

[@henriquemiguel95]

2 upgradable ram slot, amazing| My T14 2gen only has one, I still rock 48GB of ram, for me upgradable ram is a deal breaker! Amazing machine that one

[@MashITTech]

yeah, the last three revision had soldered ram, a real shame so its nice to see upgradability coming back

[@leo_craft1]

Also half soldered half slot means that you can only double the ram, any more upgrades would result in a much lower ram speed because the two mem channels are not equal

[@malamhari_]

@@leo_craft1 so if the soldered one is 16GB we can only upgrade it into 32GB?

[@leo_craft1]

@@malamhari_ no, you can do 48 but be aware that the performance of the ram will also be affected by memory channels not being equal

[@mrxmgs3768]

I love that this laptop still has a right control key, as a touch typist I pretty much need it, my wishes for a future gen would be an option for a 120Hz monitor and a usb-c port on the right side so we can charge the computer on either side.

[@alfredosauce1]

Another great and interesting review. Didn't realized soldered RAM gave that much more of an edge! I wonder will Mash IT review the T14s Gen 6 with the Snapdragon CPUs? I suspect battery life on that will be even better, but with a hit to gaming performance

[@MashITTech]

I do want to but I have a mountain of products to get through atm 😀

[@m1a1-own4elnm]

Excellent review video

[@kuuuyajim]

I know you can change how the keyboard function in BIOS for previous models, but I think it's a good thing they finally decided to correct the position of the CTRL and FN keys. I owned a T14 before and it constantly annoyed me. Might consider getting one again though I'm crushing at HP EliteBook models lately.

[@andyH_England]

With the new AMD5 out with AI, this will hopefully get discounted as it is old news. Bearing in mind that AI will become a major feature, and if you aim to keep a laptop for 5-7 years, I recommend waiting for the new AMD AI-certified versions. AI may not be compelling at the moment, but having tasted Apple Intelligence, I know the potential is there, and I certainly would not recommend anyone in August 2024 to buy a non-AI machine (Co-Pilot). Also, having the LPDDR5X superfast 8000Mhz RAM would mean better performance in most tasks, including AI, and I can see why AMD did not want to be second-class and now have soldered RAM in their latest release. The RAM in this is a negative for a laptop you will keep for up to seven years, especially as there is no sign that SODIMM will have that fast RAM as LPCAMM2 takes up that fight. But if you are happy with these limitations and, most importantly, get a good deal, this is a solid ultrabook for some. But it would be sensible to wait for the new Intel, more AMD releases and the astonishing performant M4 in the next 2-3 months.

[@ytn00b3]

Great laptop for work and home office stuff and last longer than most laptops. I still have two old thinkpad and they're still working.

[@gunta.]

I have 2 questions to your preferred display choice: the 1920x1200 IPS Anti-Glare, Non-Touch, 400 nits, 60Hz, 100% sRGB, Low Power, Low Blue Light: 1. does the blue light filter influence the color white? So does the panel still shows a true white or is it more green or yellow? 2. isn't the low power panel a slower one? What about ghosting? Is it noticeable when watching 60fps videos? I am asking because I have a similar panel (same specs) in my HP Elitebook 14 G10 (AMD 7540U) and both points are a big issue with it. Thanks a lot!

[@drishalballaney6590]

Man I really considered upgrading from my P14s gen 1 to the P14s gen 5 AMD but instead ended up building my first desktop of nearly equivalent price lmao

[@akiraone28]

I just did. I had (now my wife have) T14 gen 1 (i7) and now changed to gen 5 (ultra 7 155U). And I’m not happy at all. I think build quality was better (maybe this one looks just nicer) now there is some gap on the corners between display and bottom case. When I press bottom case I can hear some noise (clicking). The whole body fell less sturdy then gen 1 (I can see when I hold in on one edge how comple case is flipping). 14:47 Also even when just typeing email the fan kick in 😢. Ok it’s much faster but build quality is going down it’s fells like Chines toy 😢. Sorry for my English.

I’ve been watching this channel since 2020 and I remember you pointing out the importance of MUX and advanced Optimus when many laptops didn’t include that feature. I got my 2021 Legion 5 pro 5800H w/RTX 3070 based off your review.

I have the same laptop and performance is good, but battery life is BAD. I hope they improve it with driver or firmware updates. Edit: I get about 4 hours of battery life with light usage, 3:30 screen on, 30min screen off. Ryzen 8840U and OLED screen. Tested today with all updates installed.

Zen 5 is going to be a huge step forward for laptops like this. You’re probably going to be upgrading in less than a year. ☺️

[@gunta.]

Does the T14 Gen 4 have a bigger battery than the 52Wh of the Gen 5? You got me with this Book as long as you mentioned the bad battery performance... Maybe you can keep an eye on the reason for it because a business laptop needs to last for a whole traveling business day of at least 8 hours so that I don't need to carry my own USB-C charger with me...

[@Burbanana]

hey David, I have an interesting question for you. If you would have to pick ONE laptop that has been released so far, for travelling (aka a lot of lap use), (light) editing/gaming/dev work, casual use with decent battery life; which one would you pick? You will be using it for the next 2 years at least with maybe a powerful desktop on the side. You can also pick last gen laptops if you want. And a side question: are OLED panels really worth it on laptops like these? I run a 4K OLED 32 alienware but I think Id take IPS on this, I also still dont understand the difference between T14 and P14s. Thanks for the video!

I was eager to learn how increasing brightness from 300 nits to 400 nits would affect image quality, and whether that also contributed to a reduction in battery life.

[@MashITTech]

The screen is low power and doesn't make a massive difference between 300 and 400 nits. Sadly this laptops battery was a lot worse than the Gen4 anyway

[@c.m.7037]

Thanks for the excellent review! I really don't understand why people kept demanding upgradable ram on a slim machines. Just configure it with the right amount of ram. Second slot ssd would be better. Not losing some of the battery life and ram speed would be also nice. Battery took the biggest hit from the old CPU being pushed, I think. Zen 5 will fix it

[@MashITTech]

I agree, having bought the gen 4 with 32gb soldered I have never felt I needed more. Plus Lenovo don’t charge the earth to upgrade the soldered ram at configuration unlike apple! The battery life really surprised me, it’s the worst I have got on a Ryzen u series so let’s hope it’s better with strix point

[@adequatequality]

The build and design is pretty much the same except you get the HS series of the AMD processors on the P14s, some ISV certifications, an a RJ45 ethernet port. If you don't care about any of that, I would say the T14 Gen 5 is the better option due to the U series AMD processors which won't have the loud fan noise and excess heat issues as on the P14s

[@peterboil4064]

it's not trash and you can tweak it with tlp under Linux.

The battery life is limited by the actual size and internal design choices because the CPU and screen is the exact same as last year's model that has much better battery life. You can't really modify the device physically regardless of how many firmwarre updates are pushed. That's just one of the downfalls of this year's T14

I have spoken with other users who are also getting similar run times to me so sadly it is not just a problem with my model. Maybe lenovo will fix with a BIOS/Driver as it should be getting way more

Wi-Fi issues with Linux on and version

[@shadyhajjeh-ro3gn]

intel arc igpu now has higher performance only if you get the arc igpu not intel graphics

Wish they went with HX 370 but well, then ram wouldnt be upgradeable. Soldered wifi - bad unless it is intel (right now only thing from intel i would get :D )

I prefer side vented, despite what the tests indicate.
