Thanks for your patience all, I got in contact with Lenovo regarding about the display dimming and here is the official word, thank you to Lenovo ANZ team for the clarification.
Lenovo response -
With respect to display brightness, it’s hardcoded in the Thinkpad E14 G2 AMD BIOS to balance battery life and performance. One component that drives battery consumption is the LCD brightness. Therefore when running in Battery mode, the display will dim to some extent to get back to a “balance battery life/performance” status.


However there’s a brightness adjustment in AMD Radeon settings that will enable you to manually overwrite the selection.

People need to learn how to do reviews from this dude. He covered everything that can be possibly covered in 18 minutes. Clear and crisp.

[PongiPlaysGames]

Probably the most wholesome review video out there. Not extra fluff, just how I like it

[agflimaa]

Finally found the review that I was searching for!!!!

People talks about battery but anybody did it well!! Thank you very much!

[florinsergiu]

Now, that's what I call a comprehensive review! Keep up the good work, mate!

[gustavonien]

Congratulations for the great content. It is really hard to find this level of review nowadays on YT. Thanks for the details. Please, keep posting!

[nastasha]

[kapiczu]

great video, aside from 2 or 3 moments when i needed to turn on subtitles you've done perfect review, you covered everything in very resonable time and it didn't bored you compered to other reviews

Great review with everything I need to know! I think I'm going to go with one of these. I'm not a business user, but a home user that likes to tinker with things like some music production and digital drawing, and some legacy gaming where I don't need a majorly powerful GPU, although it looks like the integrated Radeon in the Ryzen 4000 series is nothing to sneeze at either. My reason for honing in on a Thinkpad though, is that I value the durability and upgradeability, as I usually keep my laptops for 5 years or more, plus with this E series model it doesn't really cost much more than a lot of consumer laptops with Ryzen and similar specs. I can take the "cost cutting" measures of the E series as I really don't need that many ports (nice that this still has full sized HDMI and a flip-down Ethernet jack that doesn't need a dongle though), and it also loses the 2 signature silver hinges from the L series and up, but I think this one actually looks cleaner. Another reason is nostalgia. The first laptop I bought with my own money after doing odd summer jobs as a kid was a somewhat gutted IBM-made Thinkpad from circa 1997 used on eBay, I forget the exact model. I found all the missing components, like a refurbished battery, AC adapter, RAM, a decently large hard drive, a PCMCIA modem card (family was still on dail-up ugh) and the CD ROM drive (it had one of those hot-swappable drive bays, remember those? I later got the floppy disk one too) and installed Windows XP which was current at the time, and had a really decent computer for cheap. Other than a number of modern developments like thin-ness and display bezel size, the basic shape and design of these newer Lenovo Thinkpads really hasn't changed all that much. I'm excited to mess around with the TouchPoint nib too, as I got really good with it on my childhood Thinkpad because it only had the TouchPoint as an on-board pointing device and no touchpad. That webcam is kinda meh, but looks perfectly serviceable for video calls, and it looks like it has decent low light performance too. It's no worse I think that the webcams in MacBooks that cost twice as much, I think they still use 720p webcams.

Nice testing setup you've got there, very professional

[ReTr]

Bro this is such a fantastic review. You covered every single thing potential customers need to know.

[snigdhobhattacharya]

The brightness issue can be resolved by going into the AMD Radeon software and disabling Vari-bright option.

[rohansingh]

This is the best video on this product I saw, I needed a work computer this suits me well, and ik going to buy it after your review all the points were explained properly!

[GeordiLaForgery]

[farisnasarudin]

Thanks for putting time in making this great quality review. Exactly what I have been looking for to learn about this model. Deserve more subs!

[HanushAnand]

Ohh my hypothetical god! I have ordered a Thinkpad E14 Ryzen 4500u laptop and have been watching all the reviews for past 2 days.. but none has been as detailed as you are. Keep up the good work and try to promote your videos a little.

[hoangbui]

your review is informative and your voice is so clear. very good job.

[Imtempxst]

The brightness change is due to the graphic settings, if you right click on the desktop and go to graphic settings then power you can adjust the display behaviour whether on battery power or plugged in
