T14 Gen 4 and T14S Gen 4 - do they support NFC?

Simple question: do either of these laptops have NFC?

T14 G4 tech data states under "Wireless": "NFC (Only Deep Black models)"

https://www.lenovo.com/ie/en/p/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpadt/thinkpad-t14-gen-4-(14-inch-intel)/len101t0057#tech_specs

But these specs state:

https://psref.lenovo.com/Product/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_T14_Gen_4_Intel

NFC
Near Field Communication
No support

So the T14 G4 documents are confusing about NFC...

 

For the T14S, first document does not even mention NFC, second one states the same as T14:  NFC - No support

Re:T14 Gen 4 and T14S Gen 4 - do they support NFC?

OK, thanks. I missed there is a "NFC" column in PSREF. I downloaded the whole PSREF as .xls There are 4660(!) different configurations of T14s G4, and ALL have NFC=None So my question now is: - will there be T14s available with NFC and when? I found this part (in PSREF for CTO T14s G4) Wireless, NFC, FXN, NPC300, Part No 01AX745 Can this be retrofited to enable NFC? are there other parts needed? Also, I see my old T480s has the same part No 01AX745

T14 Gen 4 and T14S Gen 4 - do they support NFC?

Re:T14 Gen 4 and T14S Gen 4 - do they support NFC?

Hello firstdegree,

Greetings
Based on the PSREF docs that you linked, it indicates that there are ThinkPad T14 Gen 4 and T14s Gen 4 that do support NFC. The feature is available in some variants. You may check it thru the support site using the Machine Type Model or the serial number. We apologized if you are confused with the said document
Hope this helps.

Re:T14 Gen 4 and T14S Gen 4 - do they support NFC?

Thanks Lorenzo, this is good news. But I would like to know if my chosen configuration has NFC BEFORE I buy... For instance, does this T14s G4 have NFC: 21F6004PGE? There is no information about NFC in PSREF and the product page you linked only shows As-Built Parts if you enter the serial number (which I can not have before purchase).

Re:T14 Gen 4 and T14S Gen 4 - do they support NFC?

Hi, 

I checked the PSREF site directly, entered the MTM that you provided, and it shows that NFC is not available (None) for this model.
Check this link for more details (Connectivity>NFC>None).
Perhaps you may try and search for other variants of the same model that has NFC.
Hope this helps.
