Performance
The Ryzen 5 250 with 8 cores at 3.3GHz sits in the 79th percentile for CPUs, which means it's well above average for this class. What surprised us is how capable the integrated Radeon 780M is. It lands in the 69th percentile for GPUs, which sounds mediocre until you realize it's an iGPU keeping pace with some entry-level dedicated cards. Multitasking with 16GB of DDR5 and a 512GB NVMe SSD feels snappy. The 48Wh battery is the weak link here, especially with a 400-nit screen pulling power.

vs Competition
The ThinkBook 14 Gen 9 goes head-to-head with the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7th Edition for the business crowd. The Surface has a more premium feel and better display, but the ThinkBook wins on port selection and price. Against the Apple MacBook Pro M4 Pro, there's no contest on performance, the MacBook crushes it, but it also costs significantly more. The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 and HP OMEN Transcend 14 are gaming laptops that trade portability for power, so if you want to game, skip the ThinkBook entirely and look at those instead.

Value & Pricing
At $1,379 USD, this is a fair price for what you get, but not a steal. You're paying for the portability, build quality, and that excellent port selection. If you need a reliable daily driver for work or school and value a light bag over raw power, it's worth it. If you want more storage or a better screen for creative work, you'll find better value elsewhere.

Overview
The Lenovo ThinkBook 14 Gen 9 is a compact workhorse that nails the basics and then some. The one thing to know: this is a portability-first business laptop with a surprisingly good screen and top-tier connectivity, not a gaming rig. At 1.36kg with a 14-inch 400-nit display and Wi-Fi 7, it's built for people who actually move around. The AMD Ryzen 5 250 and Radeon 780M handle everyday work without breaking a sweat, but don't expect to run Cyberpunk on this thing.
Common Questions
Q: Can this laptop handle gaming?
Not really. The integrated Radeon 780M can handle light indie games and older titles at low settings, but the gaming score of 21.5/100 tells the real story. If you want to game, get a laptop with a dedicated GPU like the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14.
Q: Is the display good for photo or video editing?
It's bright at 400 nits, which is great for office work and outdoor use. But the 45% NTSC color gamut means colors will look washed out for serious creative work. If you edit photos or videos, look for a laptop with 100% sRGB coverage.
Q: How long does the battery actually last?
The 48Wh battery is on the smaller side for a 14-inch laptop. Expect around 6-8 hours of light work, less if you're pushing the CPU or running the screen at full brightness. It's fine for a school day, but you'll want the charger for long flights.
Who Should Skip This
If you're looking for a gaming laptop or a machine for video editing, this isn't it. The integrated GPU and 45% NTSC display will frustrate you. Go get an ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 for gaming or a MacBook Pro M4 Pro for creative work instead.
Verdict
The ThinkBook 14 Gen 9 is a solid buy for students and business users who prioritize portability and connectivity. It's not exciting, but it's dependable, light, and has one of the best port selections we've seen in this class. Buy it for work, not for play.
