The Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 6 is a thin and light business-class laptop that squeezes a lot of power into a package that measures less than 0.7 inches thick and weighs less than three pounds.

It's also a laptop that will soon be available with a choice of Qualcomm Snapdragon X or AMD Ryzen AI 300 processor options. Lenovo introduced a Snapdragon model earlier this year, and it's already available for purchase.  Now the company has unveiled an AMD-powered model, which should be available soon.

From the outside, there's little way to tell these laptops apart from one another. Both have 14 inch, 1920 x 1200 pixel IPS LCD displays with optional support for a touchscreen panel. Both have a black chassis with upward-facing stereo speakers located to the right and left sides of a backlit keyboard. And both have a red pointing stick in the center of the keyboard as well as a touchpad.

But under the hood one model features a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite X1E-78-100 processor, while the other has an AMD Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360 chip. Both are energy-efficient laptop processors that should offer strong single-core and multi-core CPU performance, and both have neural processing units with enough performance for these laptops to meet the minimum requirements for Microsoft's Copilot+ PC platform.

The AMD model should offer much better graphics performance though, and may also pull ahead in some CPU-specific tasks because the system doesn't have to lean on emulation to run legacy Windows applications that may not have been ported to ARM architecture.

A few other interesting differences? The AMD model has a 5MP webcam, while the Snapdragon version has a 1080p camera. And for some reason Lenovo included an M.2 2280 slot for storage in the AMD model, while the Snapdragon version has just an M.2 2242 slot.

The ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 AMD edition is also a tiny bit heavier, with a starting weight of 2.86 pounds, compared with 2.72 pounds for the Snapdragon model.

And one surprising difference is that while both laptops have two full-function USB4 Type-C ports capable of data transfer speeds up to 40 Gbps, the AMD model's ports are described as Thunderbolt 4 ports, suggesting that Lenovo actually went through the effort to get these ports certified as Thunderbolt compliant, something that's often not done for laptops with AMD processors.
