Upgrade path: ThinkPad T14s Gen 4 (AMD)

Analysis derived from public PSREF specifications

Editorial Notes

The T14s Gen 3 AMD combines Zen 3+ efficiency with a premium slim chassis. LPDDR5 at 6400 MHz provides solid memory bandwidth. The Radeon 680M iGPU outperforms Intel Iris Xe in most GPU-bound scenarios.

Known Issues

Soldered RAM limits future upgradeability. The 2.8K OLED option draws more power than the WUXGA IPS, reducing battery life by roughly 1-2 hours.

Swiss Market

Often available CHF 100-200 below the Intel variant at Swiss retailers. Strong value for AMD-friendly IT departments.

Linux

Strong Linux support with mature amdgpu drivers. The AMD platform often achieves slightly better battery life than Intel under Linux.
