At the start of 2022, AMD revealed its brand new Zen 3+ based Ryzen 6000 Mobile Series of CPUs for the laptop market at CES 2022. Lenovo, Asus, Dell and HP are amongst the well-known manufacturers expected to incorporate AMD’s latest and greatest Ryzen 6000 Mobile chips for their upcoming laptop lineups in 2022.
As of April 2022, the availability of these Ryzen 6000 laptops is still scarce as you are still unable to purchase such a device today. However, it seems that Lenovo may be the first laptop manufacturer to bring Ryzen 6000 laptops available to the market with their Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 3 (14”, AMD).
Lenovo recently listed the landing page of the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 3 (14”, AMD) on its official website detailing the specifications, configurations and highlighting features of the device. Conventionally, when Lenovo lists a product on its official website, this spells out that the device is coming very soon to the market, as the landing page will be updated with a price tag in the upcoming weeks.
Moving onto the device specifications, the ThinkPad T14s Gen 3 is a lightweight business powerhouse featuring up to 32GB LPDDR5 6400MHz Dual Channel Memory, 2TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD storage, and AMD Ryzen 6000 processors up until the Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U.
The ThinkPad T14s Gen 3 features the largest integrated graphics performance boost in a ThinkPad to date, as the GPU present on the device is the AMD Radeon 680M based on AMD’s best performing RDNA2 architecture. AMD claims that the new integrated graphics can deliver GPU performance that outperforms or performs on par with dedicated graphic cards like the Nvidia MX450 card still found on many laptops today.
The next highlight is the screen on the ThinkPad T14s. The ThinkPad T14s Gen 3 now features a 14-inch 16:10 display giving users more screen to work with, and the screen can be configured up to a 90Hz 2.8K resolution 400-nit OLED display that covers 100% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut for the business professionals out there who are creative in their free time.
Coming to connectivity, the ThinkPad T14s Gen 3 supports WiFi 6E with optional support for 4G LTE and sub-6 5G via eSIM for those business users who are always on the go. Powering the device is a 57Wh battery which can last the laptop an entire day with a just single 2-hour charge on Lenovo’s 65W Rapid Charge technology. For the ports, the laptop is equipped with one USB-C 4.0 Gen 3 port, one USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, one HDMI 2.0b port and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The Lenovo ThinkPad T-series generally slots in at a lower price tag than its P-series, Z-series, X1 series siblings, so it is expected that Lenovo would continue its same lineup pricing strategy in 2022. If true, then the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 3 (14”, AMD) may be the best ThinkPad one can buy in 2022 with its high price-to-performance ratio, high power efficiency and amazing 16:10 OLED display.
