Lenovo’s ThinkPad T-series are arguably one of the most popular business-class notebooks combining performance and utility. Today, Lenovo introduced its new ThinkPad T14, T14s, and T15 laptops featuring the latest processors from AMD and Intel. Lenovo’s new machines are the first laptops to be announced to have AMD’s Ryzen 4000 Pro-series mobile processors.
The new ThinkPads come in traditional black or silver chassis that pack a 14-inch or a 15.6-inch Full-HD or Ultra-HD display. The most advanced versions feature IPS screens with 500 nits brightness and Dolby Vision HDR support. To complete the multimedia experience, the PCs will come with a Dolby Audio-badged speaker system. The T14s and the T14 are 17.2 and 17.9 mm thick, whereas the T15 has a 19.1 mm z-height.
At the heart of the new ThinkPad laptops are AMD’s Ryzen 4000 Pro CPUs or Intel’s 10th Generation Core processors (some are with vPro technology) paired with up 48 GB of DDR4-3200 RAM as well as up to 2 TB of SSD storage. Premium variants of the ThinkPad T14 and T15 machines will feature NVIDIA’s GeForce MX 330 GPU with 2 GB of memory, whereas the slimmer T14s will rely on Intel’s integrated graphics.
As far as connectivity is concerned, the new ThinkPads feature Wi-Fi 6, Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports and all the other things you come to expect from a 2020 laptop. Advanced versions of the laptops will come with a 4G/LTE CAT16/CAT9 modems.
The new ThinkPad T will be available in Q2 starting at $849 for a 14-inch model, $1029 for a slimmer 14s version as well as $1079 for a 15.6-inch model.

I used ThinkPad P series at work, and remember the days of real IBM ThinkPad's and since Lenovo has taken them over, they have seriously lost the quality as before. I wish they were force to remove the ThinkPad from the name. That in mind they are not as bad the IdeaPad's in quality.Retycint - Monday, February 24, 2020 - link
Can't believe we still have 768p (HD) TN screen config in 2020, and on a $850 laptop nevertheless.I feel bad for the employees whose bosses inevitably decide to purchase the cheapest config with HD TN because it "saves money"

A lot of thinkpads are essentially embedded computers, thin clients, appliances, or all-in-one servers. Could be a pathway to upgrading existing deployments.I agree with you, though, that would be terrible to work on.

At my old workplace, everyone had docks and desktop monitors. The purpose of the laptop was to be portable enough to move from meeting room to meeting room, while maintaining the organization's monitoring software and anti-USB-flash-drive protocols.maxius4 - Monday, February 24, 2020 - link
