Pros and Cons

Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 4

Strengths

The Ryzen chips are absolutely fantastic, providing a much needed boost in single core score
The onboard Graphics is truly excellent for most people's everyday needs, especially in an office environment
USB 4 on these laptops allows you to put a thunderbolt dock or high-speed storage, making it a one-laptop solution for heavy work needs
The laptop runs so quietly even when gaming, with fan noise topping out at about 42 DB
The battery life is excellent, with 11 hours and 21 minutes of streaming YouTube over Wi-Fi at 200 nits of brightness
The Ryzen chips make the laptop feel much snappier
The onboard Graphics handles everyday tasks like light video editing and 3D modeling well
The laptop has a compact charger that comes with it, and you can also charge it with your monitors or docks PD

Weaknesses

Battery life is not quite as good as last year's model, at just over 12 hours
The T14s is slightly more expensive than the T14
The laptop does not have an RJ45 port like the T14
It's a bit heavier and fatter than the T14
You may not need the USB 4 on this model, especially if you're just using it for office work
The fan noise can be slightly higher when running demanding tasks
The laptop's single core performance boost is not as massive as some might have hoped
The T14s may not be the best choice if you don't need USB 4 and are okay with a bit more weight

Lenovo Slim Pro 9i

Strengths

The laptop has a great design with rounded edges, metallic gray color, and a camera bar that makes it easy to open single-handedly.
The display is a 14.5 in 3K resolution at 16:10 aspect ratio with 165 HZ refresh rate, making everything look smoother.
The laptop has several ports for connectivity, including HDMI, USB-C, and an SD card reader, which is great for video editors.
The keyboard is great, with good key travel, spacing, and layout, and the function keys are well-chosen and useful.
The speakers on this laptop are some of the best I've heard on a laptop, with loud and clear sound.

Weaknesses

The laptop has some heft to it, making it less portable than others in its class.
There is only one Thunderbolt 4 port, which might be limiting for some users.
The right side of the touchpad sounds a little hollow compared to the left side.
The battery life is around 5 hours, which is not great but not too bad either.
The display has a slightly yellow tint, especially on web pages and documents, although this might be an issue specific to my review unit.

Lenovo Slim Pro 9i

The Lenovo Slim Pro 9i is an incredibly close-to-perfect laptop for creators. Its rounded edges and metallic great color are a refreshing change from traditional ThinkPad designs. The high-resolution webcam and spacious touchpad add to its appeal. However, one major flaw holds it back: the display's slightly yellow tint on the white color setting. A minor calibration issue or isolated problem?
