Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 2

The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 2 offers a refreshingly straightforward laptop experience. Within its slightly revamped chassis, the machine provides a reliable and efficient work companion. Powered by Intel's Tiger Lake chip, paired with speedy RAM, this vanilla version of a laptop prioritizes simplicity over upgradability. While not ideal for enthusiasts, it delivers solid performance for those seeking to get work done on-the-go.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 7 boasts a sleek design, but falls short in refinement, with sharp edges that detract from its otherwise attractive appearance. The laptop's convertible nature and extensive I/O options are notable highlights. However, the presence of a traditional trackpoint (nipple) may be seen as outdated, given the superior performance of modern touchpads. This review aims to provide an in-depth assessment of this business-focused device, considering both its strengths and weaknesses.
