New Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 2 stays with 16:9 & adopts 1.5 mm travel keyboards, new aluminum option

[Redaktion]

The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 1 was one of the best business laptops of 2020. The successor Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 2 does introduce a new design as well as a platform update with AMD Ryzen 5000 and Intel Tiger Lake, but it still uses 16:9 screens, unlike the new X13. Like the X13, the keyboard travel is reduced.

Out in March? I believe it when I see it. The X1 gen 9 and X1 Yoga gen 6 were supposed to be "out in February", yet here we are with neither of them released.

I've said it before, and I hate to keep repeating myself, but my T14s is extremely buggy, runs hot, with the fan constantly running, all the time, even when idling, and has terrible battery life. Lenovo clearly did a poor job with it, and it's especially ridiculous when you consider that the keyboard and TrackPoint are one of the main features and selling points, yet they clearly don't care about making quality drivers so those features actually work well. I have problems with it almost every...single...day, and it makes the laptop very frustrating to use. So I can't fathom how it can be considered "one of the best business laptops of 2020" and I would caution anyone eyeing the Gen 2 model, or any Lenovo for that matter, to keep in mind the wonderful hardware specs don't mean much if Lenovo isn't going to bother making good drivers.

Why Lenovo still offers FullHD and 4K screens on 14"  display?
FullHD is too view screen estate and 4K on 14" to read is painfull!
QHD (1440p) is the best option.
Make it happen Lenovo and 16:10 aspect ratio on a work laptop is beneficial!

I'm actually the opposite, and even 1080 is too much for this size, so I have to set scaling to 125%, which has its own issues since Windows scaling sucks. But I agree there should definitely be the option for those that prefer it, and there should be a 16:10 option (though I'm fine either way as far as that goes, and sort of prefer 16:9 to allow more space to use applications next to each other. I look forward to when we can just extend the display to the size and aspect ratio we want.

Still? Only X series and P1 have 16:10. Notebook to hard work only 16:9.
Toys 16:10.
