Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 (AMD) review: Still the gold standard for business

I still think the ThinkPad line-up is the top pick for business professionals, with 14-inch laptops being the sweet spot for screen clarity and portability.

The ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 does nothing to change that.

It’s durably built, smart and stylish, and performance-driven for day-to-day work.

And yes, it still has that iconic ThinkPad keyboard and trackpoint for those that write a lot of emails, reports, or the next New York Times bestseller.

The NPU on the AMD model reviewed here hits up to 50 TOPS for AI workloads (the Intel model caps out at up top 48 TOPS), which is plenty of general office AI use, running Copilot+, blurring webcam backgrounds, and using tools in software like the Adobe suite.

As part of the ‘s’ range, the T14s Gen 6 is marginally slimmer than the traditional T14, stripping out certain enterprise features like the Ethernet port and upgradeable RAM.

If that's important for you, the T14s is a non-starter out of the box.

I wouldn't consider that a deal-breaker for most workers - particularly if you use a strong wireless connection and future-proof with 32GB of memory (or up to 64GB if you opt for the AMD version).

But it's an additional consideration.

For most people, this will easily hit the mark at the best business laptop .

It's certainly one of the best I've used, with the AMD version proving reasonably powerful, portable, and sails through productivity workloads without pausing for breath.

Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6: Pricing & availability (Image credit: Future) How much does it cost? From $1500 / £1500 When is it out? Available now Where can you get it? Direct from Lenovo and online retailers The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 is available from Lenovo and a range of online retailers with prices starting at $1500 / £1500 for the base configuration, up to around $3400 / £3400 once the laptop is fully specced with RAM and storage.

From what I’ve seen, the Intel models tend to retail slightly cheaper than AMD.

For standard office work, the Intel is probably the better choice, though not by much.
