![]() 4G LTE with Nano-SIM and eSIM is optional if you'd like to pay the extra cost. An Intel AX210 Wi-Fi 6E modem and Bluetooth 5.2 round out wireless connectivity options. Any of the best Thunderbolt 4 docks will also work. There's also a side docking connector for Lenovo's proprietary docking stations. Otherwise connectivity is mostly unchanged, with two USB-A 3.2 (Gen 1), HDMI 2.0, 3.5mm audio jack, microSD card reader, and full-size RJ45 Ethernet. Port selection has been modernized with dual Thunderbolt 4 instead of one TB3 and one USB-C 3.2. Altogether the laptop has a simple, professional look that should suit equally coffee shops or boardrooms. ThinkPads have been notorious for getting mucked up with even a few hours of use, but this one remained mostly blemish-free during daily use. I love the feel, and it picks up a fraction of the usual fingerprints and smudges. The T14 (Gen 2) has a finish that's just a bit more granular than the usual ThinkPad soft-touch paint. The second-gen ThinkPad T14's more granular finish eliminates many of the usual fingerprints and smudges. Some models will come with an aluminum lid - it seems to depend on which display you choose - but rest assured even the PPS lid's flex remains well below alarming levels. The laptop has undergone MIL-STD 810G durability testing to ensure it can withstand a harsher environment than most regular laptops. This altogether translates into a strong base that remains fairly lightweight at 3.23 pounds (1.47kg). My second-gen ThinkPad T14's case is made up of a mix of materials, including polycarbonate and magnesium alloy for the keyboard deck, polyamide with glass fiber for the bottom portion, and polyphenylene for the lid. ![]() (Bear in mind, you may turn off your screen this way, so just press that button again if that happens.) 7.Source: Windows Central (Image credit: Source: Windows Central) While holding the Fn key, press every function button (the “F” keys) with a symbol on it that looks like it could be your touchpad to see if it switches back on. It took me a while to realize that maybe it was, in fact, a touchpad icon. For weeks I didn’t know what the issue was, which wasn’t helped by the touchpad function icon on my keyboard looking just like a monitor icon. Perhaps while trying to use a Fn key to change the volume on my laptop, I disabled my touchpad by pressing the wrong button. Re-enable Your Touchpad Using the “Fn” Key Once you’ve done this, select the option “Save Changes and Exit.” 6. This may be under the “Advanced” heading if you have one. Likewise, the BIOS for different motherboards has a different layout, but your goal is to find an option called “Internal Pointing Device” or similar, then make sure it’s enabled. Try double-tapping that logo to see if your touchpad comes back to life. If you have this logo, then double-tapping it enables and disables your touchpad, so there’s a chance that you disabled it accidentally. ![]() If that doesn’t fix the issue, there may be a small square logo at the top-left corner of your laptop touchpad. My Bluetooth mouse, for instance, doesn’t turn off automatically, so if it’s anywhere in the room – even in a drawer – it will “connect” to my PC. The solution in this case is simple: unplug the USB mouse and turn off your Bluetooth mouse if you have one. It’s not super-common, but there are laptop models out there that automatically switch off your touchpad when you connect an external mouse.
