Chassis, connectors, screen of the Lenovo ThinkPad E14 AMD Gen 3 (20Y7005WFR)

Clad all in black, this thin and light laptop PC sports a discreet aluminum design. Robust, it complies with US military strength standard MIL-STD-810H.

It is equipped with good connectivity including 1 USB-C, Wi-Fi ac and Bluetooth 5.0 wireless modules for remote connections and communications, an audio port, a useful HDMI video output to connect it easily to a TV or a monitor for example as well as 2 USB all compatible with both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, USB 3.0 guaranteeing transfers taking place up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if one connects a USB 3.0 device to it. Too bad however not to find more recent and efficient Wi-Fi ax.

In any case, some will appreciate being able to authenticate biometrically on this computer via Windows Hello technology and the TPM 2.0 security chip. And whether by the fingerprint reader or the Infrared webcam allowing facial recognition and equipped with Privacy Shutter to better respect privacy.

The chiclet keyboard is adorned with a practical backlighting system to better distinguish its keys when the ambient light is reduced. It comes with a dual pointing system combining the classic touchpad with the rarer and more precise TrackPoint In the center.

The screen lends itself well to displaying videos and more generally High Definition content thanks to its 16:9 format and precise Full HD definition. As it adopts IPS technology, the screen also benefits from significant viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically. Thanks to its anti-reflective treatment, the screen is also more readable than a shiny panel in a bright environment (eg outdoors).

Performance, autonomy of the Lenovo ThinkPad E14 AMD Gen 3 (20Y7005WFR)

The Lenovo ThinkPad E14 AMD Gen 3 (20Y7005WFR) is a thin and light portable High Definition portable computer designed for everyday general-purpose use .

Thanks to its compactness, thinness and lightness, this laptop is easy to transport. It will interest nomads all the more as it can last about 8 hours on battery in light use, enough to use it serenely for several hours away from a power outlet.

However, this discreet black aluminum computer delivers good general performance that is suitable for many users because it incorporates 8 GB of RAM coupled to an AMD Hexa Core APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) low-power Ryzen 5 5500U Lucienne processor.

In addition, the latter houses the Radeon Vega 7, a graphics solution that is certainly modest but which still allows you to run games that do not consume much graphics resources, in addition to being able to view photos and videos.

On the storage side, Lenovo opts for an SSD whose capacity of 512 GB corresponds to what hard drives offer as standard.

Of course, if you need additional space, you can rely on an external storage unit. Opting for a USB 3.0 / USB-C device then represents an interesting solution for obtaining fast transfers.

We should point out in any case that an SSD offers several advantages compared to a hard disk: silence, greater robustness, lower energy consumption and greater speed.

Result thanks to the SSD, starts/stops are much faster, for example, as are processing and software launches, and you can get to online game cards faster.
