Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £621 ex-VAT, the ThinkBook 14 G4 with an i5-1235U is a pretty sensible “office daily driver” for UK SMBs: fast enough for Microsoft 365, lots of browser tabs, basic accounting/CRM workloads, and video calls without drama. The Windows 11 Pro angle matters too—means easier management in a business setting, and you’re not stuck with a home/consumer setup. If you want something that’s usually reliable in the real world (keyboard, build, serviceability) without paying “business premium” pricing for a higher-end ThinkPad, this is the sweet spot.

That said, I wouldn’t rush to buy it for teams that live in heavy multitasking or big app workloads (lots of Adobe-type work, data processing, or running memory-hungry tools). With only 8GB RAM and a modest internal drive, it may feel tight as usage grows—meaning you’ll be leaning on cloud apps or thinking about upgrades sooner than you’d like. If your use cases are standard office admin and comms, it’s good value. If you need headroom for the next few years, you should seriously consider spending a bit more for higher memory (or make sure your rollout policy accounts for potential upgrades).
