If you need a laptop for demanding tasks, prefer the ThinkPad T14; it's designed for performance and business use and may have more robust build quality, but it's heavier and often costs more. On the other hand, if you're looking for something more affordable, flexible, and portable for everyday use, the Lenovo Yoga 6 with its touchscreen and 2-in-1 design might be more suitable, although it may not handle intensive tasks as smoothly as the T14. Decide based on whether portability and price, or performance and durability take priority for your needs. Give Feedback

Benjamin Herzig | December 2023
"We like a lot about this laptop. It has many ports, with the inclusion of RJ45-Ethernet as a defining feature. WWAN is upgradable for maximum flexibility and the ThinkPad has many security functions. Working with the ThinkPad input devices is a lot of fun, and Lenovo puts in a serviceable Low Power panel. The AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 7840U delivers a great performance and does not drain the battery fast. Fan noise and temperatures are nothing special, but also far away from bad. With the user replaceable keyboard, the ThinkPad T14 Gen 4 has a special feature rarely present on most modern laptops."

"The AMD R7-7730U in the Lenovo Yoga 6 13 provides a suitable answer to the limited cooling capabilities of a convertible - especially in tablet mode. It draws high computing power from a comparatively limited power supply so that less heat has to be dissipated at the same time."
