Lenovo’s P series laptops are built for speed, featuring more premium models equipped with dedicated Nvidia workstation-grade processors to align with their ISV certification. The P14s is a more compact variant, which comes with less powerful processors and, in this case, integrated graphics. However, don’t think it lacks performance: the ThinkPad P14s competes strongly in many benchmarks.
This laptop features an AMD Ryzen 5 processor with six cores, which is fewer than the 12 cores in the Core i7-1260P. Still, the strength of this AMD chip lies in its high-performance cores. Lenovo backs the AMD Ryzen Pro with 16GB of fast LPDDR5 memory, though this is soldered to the motherboard. If you want more memory, you can upgrade to 32GB for an additional £90 during the purchase. You can replace the 512GB SSD yourself with a few cross-screw drivers, but this will void the generous three-year warranty.
