Lenovo ThinkPad T14s · Intel Core i7 (10th Gen) · 14" Full HD Touch · 8 GB / 256 GB SSD

Business laptops are built to last far longer than consumer ones — and this Lenovo ThinkPad T14s is a good example. The 's' in this ThinkPad's name means 'slim'. It's the thinner, lighter version of Lenovo's T-series — the workhorse laptop that big IT companies issue to their staff by the thousand. The T14s is the slim T14, light and well built, with the kind of keyboard that makes you want to type all day.

The Core i7 gives you extra headroom for heavier work: big spreadsheets, coding with several tools open, and light photo or video editing. 10th-generation Intel processors are quad-core, efficient and fully supported by Windows 11. It will feel quick for years of normal use. 8 GB of RAM is comfortable for everyday multitasking — browser, Office, music and a video call. The 256 GB SSD means it boots in seconds and apps open quickly. The 14-inch Full HD screen (with touch) gives you sharp text and room for two windows side by side.

Build and everyday use

Around 1.3 kg with a magnesium-reinforced body. Slim, but it still passes the same military-grade durability tests as its thicker siblings. The keyboard is excellent: good travel, quiet, and the red TrackPoint is there if you like it. It comes with genuine Windows 11 Pro installed and activated.

Upgrades

On the slim T models some or all of the RAM is soldered, so pick the memory you need now. The M.2 SSD can be upgraded easily.

Who it suits

Working professionals and students who carry their laptop everywhere and type a lot. It sits in our picks for programmers, startups, freelancers.
