Pros and Cons

Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 3

Strengths

The AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 6850u processor is a beast when it comes to multitasking with several apps browser tabs open
The integrated GPU is one of the best on the market and all this with frugal power consumption
USB 4: great to finally see a USB 4 (40 Gb/s) Port available on an AMD laptop
Excellent keyboard, despite reduced key travel to 1.5 mm for some users
Long battery life of over 8-9 hours for typical office tasks
Rapid charging with a full charge taking over 1.5 hours and top up to 50% in 30 minutes

Weaknesses

Reduced key travel to 1.5 mm may be disappointing for some users
Some keys on the right have shrunk to accommodate the 16:10 chassis
No Ethernet port, relying on Wi-Fi or adapter
No fingerprint reader (optional 13 GBP/16 USD upgrade)
Soldered-on memory, preventing upgrades after ordering
No USB 4 ports on T14 Gen 3 Intel models, only available on AMD variants

Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6

Strengths

The New t14s Gen 6 with the ryzen AI chip as usual a solid release from Lenovo keeping the T14 series relevant being Slimmer than the standard T14 yet providing similar levels of performance with these new AI chips but finally we're seeing decent battery life again which was my biggest criticism of the T14 Gen 5 reviewed recently
The power profiles in the t14s are linked in with the windows power profiles and using geekbench 6 again we can see there's quite a difference between the three profiles
This laptop is capable of some light gaming and we tested Dota 2 to show the power budgets over time
the battery life on this model was pretty impressive running our usual battery tests streaming YouTube over wi-fi at 200 nits of brightness we managed 11 hours and 20 minutes of battery life
