Why I think this is a good deal
I’ve long been a user of the Gen 4 model of this laptop for work and play. It’s easily one of the best business laptops (and certainly my top-rated laptop for working home) I’ve ever used. I’ve had no problems using this for all manner of office tasks, and the Gen 6 machine is even smoother in use.
Ok, it’ll struggle to play games or cut 4K video, but it’s well-suited to writing reports and essays, web browsing, checking emails, and running video calls. The 5MP webcam even includes a privacy shutter for extra security.
Of course, one of the reasons I champion the best ThinkPad laptops is the comfortable typing experience. I’ve used all sorts of laptops in my twenty years writing, and nothing comes close to the ergonomics of a ThinkPad keyboard – even with the key depth travel is 1.5mm compared to the 1.8mm of the older IBM models.
Another reason for opting for this deal is that the machine has an AMD chip, which is better for cooling and performance compared to the Intel-powered model.
Finally, I tend to find 14in laptops are the ideal size for most office and home office use – large enough to drill into the on-screen details, but small enough to pack away for the commute or across campus.
With a $270 / £316 discount, the T14s Gen 6 (AMD) is definitely worth checking out. But I’ve rounded up a few more if you’re looking for cheaper or more powerful models.
