[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best laptop I've ever owned. The typing experience is unrivaled and full of comfort. The screen is as bright and beautiful as I could ever want even with the FHD option and 300 nits of brightness. Coming from a 15.6in laptop, the 14in screen on my T14 wasn't a hard adjustment and carrying it around is so much easier since it weighs a lot less. The performance is more than adequate when I have multiple tabs open in Edge in addition to Visual Studio which I use for programming. I love the fact that I can add more RAM and a bigger SSD in the future if I need to and I fully plan on doing that when it becomes necessary. The battery in this machine lasts a good 7 to 8 hours on one charge and I couldn't be happier because of that. I did experience one small issue after the laptop was delivered to me but it only happened once. When I charged the laptop for the first time and disconnected the power adapter, the charging light stayed on. I powered the laptop on afterward and the battery indicator on the Windows taskbar showed the laptop was plugged in even though it wasn't anymore. After charging the battery a second time, the charging light went off after disconnecting the power adapter. The battery indicator also no longer indicated it was plugged in when I powered the laptop on at that point. I notified Lenovo technical support about the issue and they instructed me how to reset the battery so I did that and the issue has not reoccurred. Regardless of that one little hiccup, I still believe this is a 5 star machine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This laptop is amazing. The screen is crisp and clear. The option to enable and disable a privacy filter through smart keys is great. Having a separate over the screen filter has always been an issue for me. The keyboard is soft, responsive and intuitive. Having the option to enable to function keys as either full time "F" keys or full time quick keys makes using the computer easier. Volume, brightness, and display controls at the tip of my fingers is great when I am transitioning from desk to mobile or to presenting in a conference. The processor, combined with the memory and SSD creates a fast and very responsive operating environment. I bounce between office software to presentation software and video software without delay. Sometimes, running multiple programs appears so seamless that I forget I am running them all on the same laptop. This laptop, combined with the lightning / USB-C docking station makes transitioning from my three screen desk setup to being mobile so simple that I wish I made the jump earlier. Previously, I was running at T430 with dock and the graphics card would have a melt down when I would take the computer off the dock and go from multiple displays to just the integrated display. By far, of all the laptops I have used in the past (IBM, Panasonic Toughbook and HP elitebook), this T14 is the best computer I have ever owned. Adding the docking station made it just that much better. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the T14 to anyone that needs a performance computer.
