- Lenovos ThinkPad P14S Gen 6 supports up to 96 GB DDR5 RAM, but only with Krackan Point CPU models
- Quick charge delivers 80% power in 60 minutes using a 65W USB-C adapter
- However, the battery can fight under heavy performance loads
Lenovo has announced its most powerful AMD laptop Computer yet: ThinkPad P14S Gen 6, which is set to launch with 12-core AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX Pro 370, making it the company’s first AMD-powered model to break past the eight-core ceiling.
The goal of creative professionals and mobile users who need both AI treatment and core heavy performance supports the ThinkPad P14S GEN 6 up to 96 GB DDR5-5600 RAM-but only in configurations using Krackan Point CPUs, namely Ryzen AI 5 Pro 340 and Ryzen AI 7 Pro 350.
This means that the 12-core Strix point model can be set aside at 64 GB of soldered memory. Although it is a limitation, it still offers enough for demanding workloads such as 3D reproduction or Photoshop, making it a strong candidate for users searching for the best laptop for photo editing.
Bad choice of battery
While the treatment capacity could place it among the best workstation competitions in terms of raw power, there is a disadvantage: The model’s battery can fight to match the chip’s power requirements.
With a weight of 1.39 kg (3.06 lbs) and measures 10.9–16.3 mm thick, the unit uses either a 57WHR or 52.5WHR battery, depending on the CPU.
Although both batteries are larger than the Weedy 39.3WHR battery on the previous ThinkPad P14S Gen 5, they can still fight under the strain of the new, more powerful processors. However, the laptop supports fast charging with a 65W adapter capable of reaching the 80% battery in 60 minutes.
This lightweight mobile workstation, currently listed on the Lenovo Malaysia web site, has a 14-inch 2.8 K OLED panel with 100% DCI-P3 coverage and an anti-glare coating.
It includes TÜV certifications to Eyesafe and Low Blue Light, a touch screen, integrated privacy match and will be available in various IPS variants offering up to 500-nit brightness.
Graphics are handled by an integrated AMD Radeon 890m, built on RDNA 3.5 architecture, which delivers up to 32 tops and is supported by AMD’s Pro Graphics driver.
For connection, the device offers WiFi 7, Bluetooth 5.3, Optional 5G or CAT16 WWAN with ESIM and Optional NFC.
Physical gates include two USB-C (Thunderbolt 4) gates, two USB-A (5 Gbps) Ports, HDMI 2.1, RJ45 Ethernet, a headphone/mic combo-jack and optional nano SIM and smart card readers.
Price and accessibility remain unclear as the list simply says “Available soon.” Given that the T14 Gen 6 AMD models are probably not shipped until May or June 2025, the P14S variant probably does not pay homage to the summer.
