ThinkBook or ThinkPad? We compare two popular 14-inch Lenovo laptops

[Redaktion]

We recently tested two 14-inch Lenovo laptops with Intel Panther Lake - the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 7 and the Lenovo ThinkBook 14 G9 IPL. Here are the most important differences!

Unfortunately for many people it comes down does it have a Trackpoint or not. It limits choices, which can be nice sometimes, but Thinkpads often fall short of the best combinations. It's a shame, given the Thinkpad legacy and the fact Trackpoint is a unique feature, that they take this strategy, it's anti consumer and can't be good for them to produce and support so many models. They should just provide a flexible base with replaceable keyboard, but they do not do that. Until mind reading works well, the Trackpoint is a great input device, once it's no longer an option these devices become a near brandless commodity.

They both have crappy Clickpads instead of proper glass touchpads or even haptic touchpads. Therefore I would not use either.

Once you use a proper touchpad like on a Macbook, it is impossible to degrade oneself with one of the crappy clickpads that Lenovo uses.
