The T14s Gen 4 AMD has been released¹; it ships the 7840U, and it's close to the X1 in terms of portability (16.6mm/1.21kg, vs 15.36mm/1.12kg).

Offtopic: Sorry, but I can't stand those laptops which vent the hot air on the right-hand side, right on my mouse-hand, cooking it nicely till golden perfection.

It's an absolutely infuriating UX fail which seems to stick to Lenovo's business line for some reason. I wanted to throw my work provided T14 out the window so there's no way I'm giving them my money for this design failure.

Why can't they blow the hot air towards the back/display like most other laptops? Can you imagine Apple ever selling laptops venting the hot air on one side instead of out the back?

Even my ancient HP ProBook I had would at least vent the hot air on the left side, so at least us righ-handed users were spared, so Lenovo seems to be the last and biggest offendant of this "crime".

I'm right-handed but ambidextrous with a mouse (preferring mouse on the left side). That's been a useful skill in many occasions. I learned it as a kid, but definitely can be learned as an adult too. Though there will be a good deal of very awkward mouse shaking first, no way around that.

i guess the thinkpad division forgot mice existed since they installed keyboard embedded trackpoint :)

I use the T14s 3rd gen and I find its two USB type A and two USB type C super useful for connecting a suite of external devices. I prefer wired devices over wireless hence my need for ports.
