What's going on, guys? It is Bernardo and you just saw a quick unboxing on Lenovo's ThinkPad E14
Generation 2 laptop. So what comes inside the box? We have our safety and warranty guide
we have the thinkpad e 14 gen 2 setup guide. Cool.
We have our 65 watt power supply with a type C connection and we have our power cable.
Now I'm going to take the power cable and the power adapter and I'm going to hook it up
awesome. Cool. We'll going to put this stuff to the side.
And then last but not least, we have the beautiful ThinkPad E 14 generation two laptop weighing
around 3.4 with a thickness of 0.72 inches. Now using this laptop and reviewing it for you guys
I had a lot of fun super powerful with the Windows 11 operating system installed on it.
All right so before we open this guy up and power it on let's look at some of the ports
and features now if you had a laptop to the point that you're able to open it up like this
on your right hand side we have the following ports we have
one 2.0 USB port and then we have our RJ 45 port or Ethernet port.
On the left hand side we have our combo audio Jack, a HDMI port a 3.2
USB always on charging and our Type C port, which also allows us to hook up
our power cable. All right. So we just went over some of the ports of features
on the ThinkPad E 14 generation two laptop. So let's open this guy up real quick
oh look at that beautiful 14 inch display and we will talk about the display pretty soon.
So don't worry about that. Let's talk about the power button which is located right here.
And the power button is actually integrated with the fingerprint scanner. So it's a one shot deal.
So let's turn it on. Like I said before, the fingerprint scanner is integrated with
the power button, so you don't really need to do anything, just power it on and you're good to go.
But if you guys want to see it in action, so let's lock it real quick it's already locked.
It's locked and we use the fingerprint scanner and scan in,
Boom. All right. So let's talk about the trackpad on the E 14 now the trackpad
measurement is around 3.98 inches using it. I didn't have any issues at all. I did find myself
plugging in a USB mouse half the time you do have the option to use a track point on the E 14.
So that's an option there. And you could take advantage of the left and right click
options at the top or the keyboard on the E 14. Again, it is a ThinkPad keyboard. I
usually don't have any issues with these keyboards. It's super responsive I love the
way it feels on my fingertips. So again, I didn't have any issues on the keyboard.
Now the keyboard is back lit. That works well if you're working at night. The measurements
between each key is around 0.13 inches now for speakers on the E 14 actually located on
the left and right hand side at the bottom of the laptop. If the laptop is on a hard surface,
you get a pretty loud sound because the sound is actually bouncing off the hard surface.
The loudness that I got on the speakers was around 92.3 decibels. Now for the display
like I said before, it is 14 inches Full HD with a resolution of 1920 by 1080. It is anti
glare for the brightness level right now I think this is the highest on the brightness
and this is the lowest and again this is the highest and this is the lowest that it could go.
And again this is the highest if you want to know about nits, I think between 220 and 300,
it all depends on the model that you get at the Lenovo site. The E 14 does have HDR enabled
within Windows ten but only for streaming content online. Now the refresh rate for this particular
model is around 60.05 Hertz. Now the scaling of the display by default comes around 150%.
I found like the icons in the fonts were too big for me, so I had to reduce it around 125%.
125% for me was great. It's nice size and the icons are not huge like popping out
right in front of me at the top of the display you do have a 720 webcam with a privacy guard
right next to the webcam you have your dual mic system.
All right. So the performance on the E 14 was awesome. It was on point with the specifications
that Lenovo sent me. So if I'm going to actually do a command, I typically do right click on the
taskbar. So I'm going to hold the control shift and then escape, and that's going to bring up
the task manager. Let's do more details and let's open this guy up real quick.
Let's do performance. I'm going to right click on the CPU change graph to a logical processor.
Awesome. So this machine is actually running 11th gen Intel Core i5 1135
G seven CPU what clock speed of 2.40 gigahertz as one socket four cores eight logical processors.
It's a good machine now for memory. It only has around eight gigs.
It does come with a solid state drive which is around 256 gigs.
And for the graphics card it comes with the Intel Iris XE Graphics. Now what the
specification is on the E 14 I was able to do so much I was able to do my editing within
premiere. I was able to edit audio within audition as well as render 4K within media encoder
and editing 4K files was really simple because I didn't need to create any proxy files.
I was also able to do a little bit of coloring within to Vinci Resolve,
which was a huge plus. Now this guy does get hot around this area right here and around here.
When I use my heat gun, I got a temperature of around 94 degrees. So you got to make sure,
you know, if you put it on your lap, it will get warm.
Now, this guy does have vents. He has vents at the bottom of the laptop as well as in between the
display right here. Now for gaming on the ThinkPad e 14. I was able to play jump force without any
lag, which I was super impressed because of the graphics card. It's only running an Intel Iris
XE graphics card, but I was actually able to do some combos on this machine without any lag.
All right. So let's look at the battery life on the ThinkPad E 14 gen two from Lenovo.
So I'm going to close out the task manager and for every laptop I like to use PC mark ten
and run three performance tests. Now the first one is all about the modern office battery life.
And what it basically does is uses Excel word PowerPoint goes on line, edit some photos
until the battery reaches around 2% and then dies.
The battery life on this test took around 7 hours and 20 minutes on my second test, I ran
video battery life and it took around 9 hours and 45 minutes. And my last test was all about gaming
and it took around 2 hours and 41 minutes average without using PC mark ten. I was using the machine
with my editing with premiere doing some color correction with De Vinci, resolve
play some games going online editing some Photoshop files.
I was able to get between six and a half to 7 hours of battery life on this machine,
but it all depends on how you use it. All right, so let's conclude
our unboxing slash review on the Lenovo's ThinkPad E 14 generation two laptop.
So the laptop, I didn't have a chance to hook up an external monitor, but you do have that HDMI
port to just hook up an external monitor and you're good to go now for starting price on the
E 14 generation two, you can get it under $700, but it all depends on how you get it configured.
At the Lenovo site, it goes up to $1,000. I think that's like
close to the highest price point on this machine. But again, like I said, it all depends on how you
get it configured. Now overall, our experience on this machine, I had a lot of fun, especially with
Windows 11. I believe Windows 11 kind of enhances all the features on this particular laptop,
which was a plus using it with premiere, Audition, Photoshop, Da Vinci Resolve using Camtasia,
going online, watching video, watching movies and stuff, listening to music.
It was perfect. It's a great overall starting laptop if you need to travel
and do your day to day stuff on it. Now, one of the cool things about this laptop is it's not
touch screen, which again, like I said, throughout all my videos, I don't like touchscreen laptops
which the E 14 isn't, which is great. One thing it does lack for me is it lacks an SD card slot.
I would definitely love to see on this machine a SD card slot because, you know, I could take my SD
card slots out of my cameras plug it in, you know, hook it up to this laptop and start dragging and
drop in the photos and my videos on to the machine so I could start editing. I actually got it to get
an SD card reader dongle, plug it in and then that's the way I could retrieve my information.
But that's the only thing that this machine kind of lacks
because it does come with an Ethernet port. I could hard wire in to get fast
Internet speeds, which is a plus, and that's it. Hopefully you enjoyed this unboxing slash review
on Lenovo's ThinkPad E 14 generation two laptop and I catch you guys on the next one peace out.
