Analysis derived from public PSREF specifications

Editorial Notes

The 14-inch Intel variant brings Thunderbolt 4 — a meaningful distinction over the AMD models for users invested in TB docks or eGPU setups. Core Ultra 7 155H in a 14-inch chassis provides excellent single-core performance. The 2.8K OLED option rounds out a capable creator package.

Swiss Market

Stocked at Digitec and Brack in the CHF 1300–1600 range. Thunderbolt 4 is the key differentiator for Swiss users with existing ThinkPad dock setups — compatible with the ThinkPad Thunderbolt 4 Workstation Dock.
