Lenovo ThinkPad P14s G3 AMD laptop review: Lightweight workstation without dGPU

Entry-level model. Lenovo traditionally like to reuse their T series ThinkPad laptops as workstations. The ThinkPad P14s Gen 3, for example, is the ThinkPad T14 Gen 3’s counterpart. Unusual for a mobile workstation: The P14s doesn’t have a dedicated GPU.

Mobile workstations traditionally have relatively large screens – meaning 15 inches and larger – whereas 14-inch workstations are quite rare. The Lenovo ThinkPad P14s G3 is one of the latter models. This product series may not new, but the AMD variants of the P14s are quite new in comparison. We will be testing one today.

The ThinkPad P14s is a sister model of Lenovo’s ThinkPad T14. Externally, both look the exact same, which means you can check out our review of Lenovo’s ThinkPad T14 Gen 3 if you are interested in reading about its design, features and input devices.

Its broad connectivity options are identical to those of the ThinkPad T14 Gen 3. Its lack of USB4 and as a result, Thunderbolt, is disappointing. In return, the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s G3 features RJ45 Ethernet – Dell and HP’s 14-inch workstations do not have this port. However, an SD or at least microSD card slot would ideally be included in this kind of laptop.

Like all other current AMD ThinkPads, the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 3 relies on a Wi-Fi solution from Qualcomm. This can achieve high transfer rates, but the connection was not very stable when sending data.

As is often the case with Lenovo ThinkPad laptops and business laptops in general, the ThinkPad P14s Gen 3 also has several display options. The features these screens all have in common: Their 14-inch diagonal, their 16:10 format as well as their IPS-LCD technology:

WUXGA (1.920 x 1.200), 300 cd/m², 45 % NTSC, Anti-Glare
WUXGA (1.920 x 1.200), 400 cd/m², 100 % sRGB, Anti-Glare, Low Power
WUXGA (1.920 x 1.200), 300 cd/m², 45 % NTSC, Anti-Glare, On-Cell-Multitouch
WQUXGA (3.840 x 2.400), 500 cd/m², 100 % DCI-P3, Anti-Reflection, Add-On-Film-Multitouch

We already tested LG’s low-power display on the ThinkPad T14 Gen 3. It exceeded the stated brightness value of 400 cd/m² – its average brightness was 422 cd/m². This is not the only panel that Lenovo markets as a “low-power display” – on the ThinkPad T14s Gen 3, for example, we tested a CSOT panel which delivered slightly less brightness. This “display lottery” is also the case with the ThinkPad P14s G3.

* … smaller is better

The screen’s colors were a little cold straight out of the box, which we measured using the Calman software and the X-Rite i1Pro 2 colorimeter. A calibration using the i1Profiler was able to correct this color imbalance. As always, the corresponding profile is available for free download in the grey box with the measured values. The deltaE–Colorchecker value reached a very good 1.3 in the calibrated state.

The LG display was not able to reach the advertised value of 100% sRGB: At 94.3%, the target was just missed. Subsequently, the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 3’s panel can’t be recommended for image editing. Users looking to do so would be better off with the WQUXGA screen.

The ThinkPad laptop performed acceptably in outdoor use, which could be attributed to the combination of good display brightness and its matte surface (called anti-glare by Lenovo).

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
24.9 ms … rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 11.6 ms rise
24.9 ms … rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 13.3 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.4 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 50 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (22.5 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
33.5 ms … rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 14.9 ms rise
33.5 ms … rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 18.6 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 35 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (35.5 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession – a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 19024 (minimum: 2.4 – maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

The Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 3 comes in multiple different configurations. They all use AMD’s Ryzen CPUs, with the Ryzen 5 Pro 6650U and Ryzen 7 Pro 6850U being available to choose from. The Ryzen 5 features the AMD Radeon 660M, and the Ryzen 7 has the more powerful Radeon 680M. RAM is generally soldered on the AMD version of the P14s, with Lenovo offering 16 or 32 GB of LPDDR5-6400. A single M.2-2280 SSD acts as its storage; ex-works, Lenovo install a maximum of 2 TB.

On their ThinkPad laptops, Lenovo have interwoven their in-house energy profiles with the Windows energy control. Thus, three different profiles that affect the performance can be selected in the Windows settings app:

Best energy savings: 30 watts (short-term power limit) / 25 watts (long-term power limit).
Balanced: 36 watts (short-term power limit) / 31 watts (long-term power limit)
Best power: 40 watts (short-term power limit) / 31 watts (long-term power limit)

The AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 6850U is the fastest “U” processor in the Ryzen 6000 series (apart from the 6860Z, which is only available in the ThinkPad Z13). As a U-CPU, it is optimized for a consumption of 15 to 25 watts. Its eight cores with 16 threads operate at 2.7 to 4.7 GHz. You can take a look at our CPU benchmark list for more extensive comparisons with other processors.

Compared to the ThinkPad T14 G3 with the same CPU, its power limits are a little higher. This could be observed in the Cinebench R15 multicore loop, for example, where the ThinkPad P14s scored better than the T14. However, the difference was not big. When comparing it to its competitors, its CPU performance is respectable. The ThinkPad P14s Gen 3 is significantly faster than the ZBook Firefly 14 G9 and not far behind the Dell Precision 5470, despite its nominally higher-rated H45 CPU. Only in terms of single-core performance do the Intel models have an advantage.

The CPU also performs successfully on battery power alone.

* … smaller is better

A hallmark of mobile workstations is that, unlike office laptops, their graphics perform well in CAD and other GPU-intensive tasks. A dedicated GPU would typically be installed for this. However, Lenovo have decided not to put one in the ThinkPad P14s Gen 3. Instead, the Lenovo laptop relies exclusively on the integrated AMD Radeon 680M.

The result is weak GPU performance for a workstation – far below average. To be fair, though, the Nvidia T550 in the ZBook Firefly 14 isn’t really any better. Only the Nvidia RTX A1000 in the Dell Precision 5470 starts to show significantly better performance. One thing should be clear if you are thinking about buying the P14: It is an absolute entry-level model that forgoes GPU performance in the name of mobility.

For gaming, the P14s G3 is just as suitable as all other current AMD laptops with a Radeon 680M: Many games run quite smoothly in Full HD – but with reduced detail settings.

As with the processor, we didn’t notice any GPU limitations in battery mode.

Compared to the ThinkPad T14 Gen 3, the ThinkPad P14s Gen 3 had the tendency to get a little louder – especially in the Witcher 3 test. Although, their maximum noise levels were comparable. Its Dell and HP competitors have much louder active cooling systems.

We weren’t able to notice any coil whining in the P14s G3 – however, we observed a sort of quiet crackling, which was probably just the SSD.

The P14s G3 AMD is a comparatively cool laptop. The Intel-based P14s Gen 2 predecessor in particular ran much hotter. We measured a maximum of 43.1 degrees Celsius in the P14s, which is also below the maximum temperature of the T14 Gen 3 AMD – presumably because of its somewhat more active fan.

There was absolutely no throttling in the stress test, its processor was able to keep its performance stable.

Its energy consumption is very similar to that of the ThinkPad T14 G3 – the difference being that the ThinkPad P14s G3 consumes a bit more under load. However, its consumption is still so low that a 65-watt power supply is more than sufficient. This is not the case for its Dell and HP competitors.

* … smaller is better

Like Lenovo’s ThinkPad T14 Gen 3, the ThinkPad P14s G3 manages to get a lot out of its 52.5-watt-hour battery. Twelve hours in the Wi-Fi test (150 cd/m²) make for a respectable result. Even with maximum display brightness, the ThinkPad laptop still ran for almost ten hours in the Wi-Fi test. Its Intel-based rivals from Dell and HP can only dream of that.

Pros

+ super fast and efficient AMD SoC

+ great runtimes

+ lots of ports

+ good 16:10 display

+ keyboard can be easily swapped out

+ RJ45 on a compact laptop

Cons

– no USB 4

– worse keyboard than its predecessor

– AMD version without option to upgrade RAM

– lower GPU performance for a workstation

A mobile workstation which renders elaborate CAD projects for hours on end or which can be used for game development – this is exactly what the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 3 AMD is not. Rather, it is an entry-level model that primarily offers good CPU performance, but lags far behind the larger workstation laptops in terms of GPU performance. The Lenovo laptop makes up for this lower performance with very good mobility.

This should also make it clear that it is not meant to replace “big” workstations like the ThinkPad P16. It is a variant of the ThinkPad T14 G3 – an office laptop that is also marketed for workstation customers. Logically, it shares similar strengths and weaknesses with the ThinkPad T14 G3 AMD. Its missing SD card slot is one of those weaknesses, as is the unsupported USB4 standard. The soldered RAM is even more of a nuisance in a workstation device, and the keyboard is not quite on the same level compared to the P14s Gen 2, although it is still very good. Its Ethernet presence and easily replaceable keyboard are also positives.

Good CPU performance and battery life, low GPU performance for a workstation: The Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 3 AMD

The Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 3 AMD is an excellent mobile workstation for tasks that require CPU performance. Its main competitors are the HP ZBook Firefly 14 G9, which offers Thunderbolt but has poorer multicore performance and less battery life with the more inefficient Intel processor. Another alternative is the Dell Precision 5470, which is primarily characterized by its significantly better GPU performance – but it makes big sacrifices in terms of ports (apart from the presence of Thunderbolt and an SD card reader).

The model we tested with Ryzen 7, WUXGA display, 32 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD with the model number 21J6S05000 is a special model that is only available in Lenovo’s Campus program for eligible buyers. It costs around $1,640 and comes without an operating system. For all other customers, this model with Windows 11 Pro (21J5002FGE) is available for around $1,900. Amazon has the ThinkPad P14s Gen 3 AMD with a higher-resolution WQUXGA screen on offer for around $1,661.

I was an ardent reader of Notebookcheck’s laptop reviews even back in school. After writing reviews as a hobby, I then joined Notebookcheck in 2016 and have worked on device reviews and news articles ever since then. My personal interest lies more with laptops than smartphones, with business laptops being the most interesting category for me. Technology should make our lives and work easier and good laptops are an essential tool for that to happen. This is why laptop reviews are not just my work but are also my passion.

Translator: Daisy Dickson – Translator – 22 articles published on Notebookcheck since 2023

Originally from Scotland, I grew up and lived in Germany until I completed my high school qualifications before moving back to Scotland to complete my university studies. Growing up bilingual led me to form a close relationship with the English and German languages, often working in the fields of teaching and translation. Most of my childhood was shaped by playing around on new consoles, computers and gadgets and getting to grips with the new craze of the internet and smartphones. This interest has stayed with me well into adulthood. Nowadays, I live in Glasgow and work as a freelance translator and digital media coordinator. I have been translating for Notebookcheck since early 2023.
