Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen6-2 2024, Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370, 64GB, 2TB SSD, Black

64GB of DDR5 RAM at the 96th percentile and a 2TB SSD at the 94th percentile make this a memory monster in a 1.39kg body. The Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 delivers an 86th percentile CPU score that handles serious workloads. Just don't expect to game on it, the 22 out of 100 gaming score is the weakest area by a mile.

The Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 is the star here. 12 cores, 24 threads, 2.0GHz base with a 5.1GHz boost. That's an 86th percentile CPU score in our database, which puts it in the 'one of the best on the market' tier for thin and light laptops. Paired with 64GB of DDR5 RAM at the 96th percentile, this thing chews through virtual machines, large datasets, and memory-hungry dev environments without breaking a sweat. The 2TB NVMe SSD at the 94th percentile means you won't run out of storage space.

The Radeon 890M integrated graphics are where the story gets less exciting. A 69th percentile GPU score is fine for productivity, light photo editing, and the occasional older game at modest settings. But the gaming score of 22 out of 100 is the weakest area of this machine by a wide margin. If you want to game, this is not your laptop. If you want to compile code, run containers, and keep 40 Chrome tabs open while editing a 4K video timeline, it'll do that without complaint.

Stacked against the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14, this ThinkPad gets absolutely destroyed in graphics performance. The Zephyrus has a dedicated GPU that would make the Radeon 890M look like a calculator. But the ThinkPad counters with 64GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD, which the Zephyrus doesn't match at this price point. The HP OmniBook X Flip and Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 are more direct competitors in the thin-and-light productivity space, and they offer better port selection and higher refresh displays. The MSI Vector and Acer Predator Helios Neo are gaming machines that trade portability for raw GPU power. The ThinkPad P14s Gen 6 wins on memory, storage, and weight. It loses on graphics, ports, and display smoothness.

Pricing is tricky here since we only have one listing at MXN 62,899 in Mexico. That's a hefty chunk of change, but you're paying for the RAM and storage headroom that most laptops in this class simply don't offer. The 64GB of DDR5 and 2TB SSD alone would cost a fortune to add aftermarket on a machine with soldered memory. For developers, data analysts, and anyone running virtual machines, the price per gigabyte of RAM is actually reasonable. For everyone else, you're overpaying for specs you'll never touch.

The Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 6 is a spec sheet flex in a 1.39kg body. You get 64GB of DDR5 RAM, which lands in the 96th percentile of our database, and a 2TB NVMe SSD at the 94th percentile. That's workstation-grade memory and storage packed into a 14-inch laptop you can actually carry around without a chiropractor on retainer. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 with 12 cores and 24 threads sits at the 86th percentile for CPU performance, which means it's genuinely fast, not just fast for a thin laptop.

But here's the thing. The integrated Radeon 890M graphics only manage a 69th percentile GPU score, and the port selection is a weak spot at the 33rd percentile. One USB-C port on a machine with this much horsepower feels like putting a garden hose on a fire hydrant. The 14-inch IPS display with 500 nits and 100% sRGB is solid at the 72nd percentile, but the 60Hz refresh rate tells you this is a work machine, not a play machine.

Skip this if you care about gaming or graphics performance. The 22 out of 100 gaming score is the weakest area of this machine, and the integrated Radeon 890M at the 69th percentile won't satisfy anyone who wants to play modern titles. Also skip it if you need lots of ports. The 33rd percentile port selection with a single USB-C is frustrating for a workstation-class laptop. And if you're just browsing the web and writing documents, you're paying a premium for 64GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD you'll never fully use. A mid-range ultrabook would serve you better at half the price.

The ThinkPad P14s Gen 6 is a very specific tool for a very specific person. If you're a developer, data scientist, or IT professional who needs 64GB of RAM and 2TB of storage in a 1.39kg package, this is one of the best options on the market right now. The CPU at the 86th percentile and RAM at the 96th percentile make it a legitimate mobile workstation. But the 22 out of 100 gaming score and 33rd percentile port selection mean it's not a general-purpose machine. Buy it for the memory and storage headroom, not for the graphics or connectivity.
