Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 6 - 2024 (Intel Model) Review

[@phuongduybui5392]

Love to see you revisit every lineups in ThinkPad every year to keep us updated. Nice review!

[@TechGuyBeau]

absolutely. its important to look at how these things evolve over time, especially when sometimes people might be picking these up a year or two later :)

[@Aurn-lb7sy]

@@TechGuyBeau Thank you so much for this, next time could you do a quick run through the bios and uefi settings. Also Do you find that the hinges are good, and how long does the battery last. Thanks

Started using an old 6th gen 2c/4t intel ThinkPad at work... Now I kinda understand why it has such a loyal following. Sturdy little guy! Built like Rocky's chin!

Amazing review as usual !! I has the AMD variant with 7735u and maxed up by myself to 16 already included plus 32gb of Ram plus 512 SSD but added additional 2tb in the SSD empty slot and is incredible amazing. Installed Linux Mint 22 since day 1 and so far so great. Temps are great, fan is usually off/deactivated when web browsing and office work and even can do a little bit of Gaming on it. For example Spider Man remastered at 1080p with FSR and Frame generation got 60fps constantly running with Steam and Proton in Linux Mint / Ubuntu. The only real downsize of the laptop is the screen which is OKish if you use mainly this laptop but as soon as you compare with any other laptop like macbook air or yoga 7 or dell xps it feels like Lenovo should had enable the upgrad option to 2.2k globally.

[@TechGuyBeau]

Fantastic laptop. id LOVE to see the 1400p/2.2k option as paid upgrade option

[@nikhilrmahi]

man i love this channel

[@TechGuyBeau]

And we love you 🫵

The E series is super weird in the context of what T and P series offers within Lenovo's 14" models. In my opinion they should do the dual SSD thing in both T and P series. Up until 2020 there's a functionality in the WWAN slot where you can put B+M key SSD into it and install system on it while having 2nd drive for storage. This is super useful feature to me and many other people. Lenovo should either do 2x2242 slot across all their 14" machines or remove BIOS whitelist for WWAN slot SSD just a little PSA for you here 😂

[@Noob_Master_24]

Ah yes, my boi beau is back at it.. love watching your reviews mate 🫡

[@TechGuyBeau]

thanks!

[@qapplor]

Thanks for the review...any chance you could review the E16 Gen 2 with the 1600p display? I guess it's very similar but I am yet to find a good review of that display...

[@BonkersAboutAlice]

I have an E14 from work. I still use my Lenovo W541. With upgrades it's still fast as the E14.

[@herbie5263]

Thanks bro... helped me make my decision:) Love Lenovo btw

[@lindsay1971]

Most slept on series of the ThinkPad. Spare M.2 slot, dual slot upgradeable Ram. Ps: eucalyptus spray and microfiber towel for fingerprint marks.

[@yellowjoe.2000]

Good review! There is a 57wh battery option in Asia. Ultra 5 125h with Arc graphics would be a good option to get.

[@TechGuyBeau]

I agree. Personally I prefer the H variant of the CPU

[@Burbanana]

I wish they kept the Arc graphics on the U variants as well. Intel is so weird doing this, AMD keeps the same iGPU

[@TechGuyBeau]

if these come with Lunar Lake Intel would be killer

[@tucamar]

what a great review

[@FahadAlQallaf]

Is it possible to charge it with Power Bank via the USB port ? This can be useful in long meeting.

[@ZeDarkLord]

Hey, just a correction. These aren't the latest Intel Core Ultra CPUs, it's Series ( and the latest is Series 2 ), the difference between these two is that the Series 2 has much better efficiency and doesn't heat up as much and thus doesn't throttle as much as Series 1. Just wanted to correct that part. Otherwise, a pretty fine video.

[@EpicBattleAxe1]

Can you point me towards the series 2 version as I was going to buy this but can't online anything about series 2. Even on lenovos website

[@ZeDarkLord]

@EpicBattleAxe1 AFAIK Think pads with series 2/Lunar Lake is still in the process of being launched. You may have to wait a little while before it becomes available for the general public.

[@EpicBattleAxe1]

@ZeDarkLord thanks I'm in no rush to buy it. I don't really use a PC as the last one I bought was way back in 2011 lol. Would you recommend to wait to see how it is as second gen is usually better What's the difference between lunar lake and arrow lake mobile CPUs? Just read on wiki it's there's h and hx what should I look for?

[@Hilariousnugget]

New game: Drink everytime Beau says"realistically". 😅

[@TechGuyBeau]

you should see how many times I say: "um" or "ahhh" i edit them out but i miss them a lot

[@fedegodtkd1]

Great review! Thanks! What's the game called that you played at the end of the video? Thanks!

[@TechGuyBeau]

Thanks. It's faring ball sparking zero. I suck at it

[@fedegodtkd1]

​@@TechGuyBeau But you are great at making videos! Thanks for your content!

[@googleruinedyoutubeforever9126]

What's the difference between E and P series...? Looks same in the outside.

[@TechGuyBeau]

P is more premium. better screen offerings, and the material of the plastic is actually nicer

[@srijan697]

Realistically*

[@MohammadHasani-c5i]

Hi guys i am going to buy a new laptop and i am considering Thinkpad E14 Gen 6, Thinkbook 14 Gen 7, and ideapad 5 pro 14. which one do you suggest? i am going to buy the core ultra 7 155H variant with at least 32 gb of ram for intense usage. (engineering design and also intense computations for my dissertation). SO i think cooling is really important for me. which one of these has better cooling system?

[@saurabhg5890]

What about the 125H?

[@ely9932]

I can't help but understand why they're still stuck with Rubbish 45% NTSC panels in 800$ / more business laptop. Like seriously, that option should not exist bcs most of them provide atleast 72% NTSC right from the start. If Thinkbook 13/14 version who has more port can, so too the E14 Thinkpad.

[@Uomodargilla]

People are still sleeping on the Thinkbook 13X 185H, way better than any thinkpad from this overpriced cult..

[@Willabsolutkeinalias]

Well the thinkbook x13 x is also overpriced 🤔

[@tarasbuha7726]

Why do you prefer yoga?

[@TechGuyBeau]

They are typically more premium these days than lower tier think pad

[@LeGatoDarko]

well... I have e16 with intel 155H and 64Gb of RAM and .. cinebench max score is 11k (which I find very so-so because my legion7 which is 3 years old gets 12.5k), under load this thing gets loud, speakers - are disaster :) web cam is great, IR cam for windows hello (and fingerprint sensor) is awesome, battery life is mediocre, keyboard is great (I find Thinkpad's keyboard slightly better than legion's 6th gen), screen - is good enough for office tasks, build quality for the price is awesome. Overall just a basic machine for the price but with great keyboard. P.S. Vantage on my machine does NOT allow swapping fn and ctrl which is sad.

[@MrAceblaster]

Did you try changing it in BIOS?

[@LeGatoDarko]

@MrAceblaster yes I did. And setting was there. After I swapped keys from BIOS such option appeared in Vantage.

[@jeffersonmp4]

Intel Lunar Lake CPUs are better for efficiency, iGPU and battery life

[@TechGuyBeau]

i hope they offer in thinkpads ASAP

[@jamiealger7246]

The e-series is not a Thinkpad! It is just another cheap Lenovo ideapad disguised in the thinkpad skin! You can't even replace the keyboard without disassembling all the parts from the top part of bottom cover!

[@doctorhowdy1194]

Don't buy these E14/E15 variants with your own money, they're garbage compared to what you get elsewhere for the same price or less. As a business device they're okay, but nothing more

[@angelq9863]

What would you suggest from thinkpad/lenovo?
