Post by: Redaktion on March 02, 2026, 00:01:15
In addition to the standard T14 and T16, Lenovo also updates the more premium T series model, the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 7. The new version comes with the latest CPUs, which includes Intel Panther Lake, AMD Gorgon Point, but also the Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 Elite. Additionally, Lenovo has revamped the design, making it more repairable, lightweight and convenient to use by adding a USB-C port on the right side.

If the low weight will not cause high temperatures or noise. 1.10kg is 0.1kg lighter than the X1 Carbon Gen 12 (X1 Gen 13 and 14 are 0.99kg). Are the Intel and AMD options as light?

ThinkPads don't typically have the best thermal cooling solutions. Can't see from the photos here of the T14S but the T14 has just 1 small ventilation grill at the bottom. Maybe the intel version will be fine considering panther lake is quite efficient in the other 1kg notebooks it's been released in.
