Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 8 (Intel)
Lenovo's ThinkPad E14 Gen 8 (Intel) is a 14-inch business laptop; this record follows the Wildcat Lake version with the six-core Intel Core 7 350, 16GB of DDR5-5600, a 512GB SSD, a 60Hz touch IPS panel and the 48Wh battery sold in North America. Lenovo also offers the Core 5 320 and Panther Lake Core Ultra versions. US pricing starts at $1,399.
Pros
- In review testing, the Core 7 350 touchscreen model on its 48Wh battery lasted 19 hours of light web browsing and 14.75 hours of 4K video playback
- Two Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-A ports, HDMI 2.1 and Gigabit Ethernet on a 14-inch chassis
- Memory sits in a user-replaceable DDR5 SODIMM slot (up to 32GB) and the M.2 2242 SSD can be swapped
- Fingerprint reader in the power button, camera privacy shutter, optional IR camera and MIL-STD-810H testing
Cons
- Wildcat Lake models offer only 60Hz 1920x1200 IPS panels rated at 400 nits with 45% NTSC coverage
- Wildcat Lake models have a single SODIMM slot, so memory runs in single-channel mode and tops out at 32GB
- North American units are limited to the 48Wh battery, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3; the 64Wh battery is sold in other markets
- Six cores (two performance, four low-power efficiency) and two Xe3 graphics cores, fewer than the Panther Lake versions, and no SD card reader
