Review Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 AMD
Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 · Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS · Radeon 780M
AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS · AMD Radeon 780M · 64GB DDR5-5600 (2×32GB) · 2TB SSD (Kioxia) · 14″ 2880×1800 OLED 120Hz · 1.436 kg
Great 120 Hz OLED screen – high performance,
4G/LTE compatible, comfortable input devices,
upgradeable (2× SO-DIMM) and repairable.
Bad battery life, runs hot in stress test,
loud in performance mode, PWM flickering.
Performance advantage over T14 is small – T14 is better for most.
