These issues seem to have been fixed since launch, likely through a series of firmware updates. When this laptop was first released in Spring 2021, there were some reported issues involving high system heat under load and poor battery life. The ThinkPad T14 (Gen 2) runs cools and quiet under load. 4G LTE with Nano-SIM and eSIM is optional if you'd like to pay the extra cost.

An Intel AX210 Wi-Fi 6E modem and Bluetooth 5.2 round out wireless connectivity options. Any of the best Thunderbolt 4 docks will also work. There's also a side docking connector for Lenovo's proprietary docking stations.
Otherwise connectivity is mostly unchanged, with two USB-A 3.2 (Gen 1), HDMI 2.0, 3.5mm audio jack, microSD card reader, and full-size RJ45 Ethernet. Port selection has been modernized with dual Thunderbolt 4 instead of one TB3 and one USB-C 3.2.

Altogether the laptop has a simple, professional look that should suit equally coffee shops or boardrooms. ThinkPads have been notorious for getting mucked up with even a few hours of use, but this one remained mostly blemish-free during daily use. I love the feel, and it picks up a fraction of the usual fingerprints and smudges. The T14 (Gen 2) has a finish that's just a bit more granular than the usual ThinkPad soft-touch paint. The second-gen ThinkPad T14's more granular finish eliminates many of the usual fingerprints and smudges. Some models will come with an aluminum lid - it seems to depend on which display you choose - but rest assured even the PPS lid's flex remains well below alarming levels. The laptop has undergone MIL-STD 810G durability testing to ensure it can withstand a harsher environment than most regular laptops. This altogether translates into a strong base that remains fairly lightweight at 3.23 pounds (1.47kg). My second-gen ThinkPad T14's case is made up of a mix of materials, including polycarbonate and magnesium alloy for the keyboard deck, polyamide with glass fiber for the bottom portion, and polyphenylene for the lid. There are also AMD-based ThinkPad T14 models available, which I cover in the competition section.įollowing are the exact specs found in my ThinkPad T14 (Gen 2) review unit. You can configure hardware as you please at Lenovo's official site, but there are also models available at plenty of third-party retailers like Amazon and Newegg. If you're on a tighter budget, models currently start at $1,280 at Lenovo. This review unit costs about $1,719 after one of Lenovo's frequent discounts, but it does have quite a few upgrades over basic models. NFC and a Smart Card reader are also options for enterprise buys. It works with eSIM or an optional physical Nano-SIM slot. Like the first-gen ThinkPad T14, the Gen 2 model is configurable with 4G LTE. Lenovo offers either 8GB or 16GB of soldered RAM from the factory.
The 16GB of RAM is soldered to the motherboard, but there is an extra free slot available for upgrades and to achieve dual-channel performance. My review model has an 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1145G7 vPro CPU, a 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe solid-state drive (SSD) that is upgradeable, and a 14-inch 1920x1080 (FHD) display.
