Can the RAM be upgraded later?

No. The 16 GB is soldered on-board, so buy the memory you need up front.

Is the display good for spreadsheets and documents?

Yes. The 1920x1200 IPS panel gives a taller 16:10 workspace that suits documents and spreadsheets.

How does it compare with the ThinkPad T14s?

The T14 is a little thicker and heavier but has a replaceable battery and more room for ports; the T14s is slimmer.

Can it handle gaming or video editing?

Only lightly. Intel Iris Xe graphics suit office work and light editing, not modern games or heavy rendering.

What comes in the box?

The laptop with its power adapter and standard documentation; a stylus and dock are not included.

Is it good for travel?

It is durable and has good battery life, but it is heavier than consumer ultrabooks of the same screen size.

Our take on the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 4 21HD0087US 14" Notebook

The ThinkPad T14 Gen 4 is Lenovo's mainstream business laptop: a 14-inch 1920x1200 IPS screen, a 13th-gen Intel Core i5-1345U with 16 GB of soldered memory and a 512 GB SSD, running Windows 11 Pro. It stands out for the T-series build, the spill-resistant keyboard and business security features rather than raw speed. It suits office workers, IT-managed fleets and frequent travelers who want a durable, repairable machine. Against consumer ultrabooks it is heavier and plainer but easier to service and better protected; against the T14s it trades some thinness for a replaceable battery and more ports.
