The Lenovo ThinkPad T14 offers robust performance for general use and engineering tasks with its AMD Ryzen 7 processor and 32GB of RAM, paired with a reliable AMD Radeon GPU, making it a strong contender for productivity and multitasking. Its 14-inch IPS screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 is sharp and color-accurate, though not as vibrant as an OLED. The ThinkPad is built for durability and features a comfortable backlit keyboard with a number pad, ideal for long work sessions. It's also equipped with a variety of ports, including USB-C and Thunderbolt, for connectivity and charging. With a battery life of around 9 hours, it's a dependable choice for professionals on the go. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 16 boasts a stunning 16-inch OLED display with a higher resolution of 2880 x 1800 and touchscreen capabilities, offering exceptional visuals for media consumption and creative work. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor provides good performance for everyday tasks, and the device's 2-in-1 design adds versatility for those who value a tablet experience. It's lighter and thinner than the ThinkPad, enhancing its portability, and features an impressive battery life of up to 10 hours. However, it comes with only 16GB of RAM and has fewer ports, which might limit its utility for intensive multitasking and engineering applications. In summary, if you prioritize performance, battery life, and a wider range of ports for productivity and engineering tasks, the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 is the better choice. If you're looking for a more portable device with an exceptional OLED display and touchscreen functionality for general use and media consumption, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 16 is the way to go.

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."
