The Lenovo ThinkPad L14 Gen 4 (Intel) is a solid offer in its class. The comfort under load is good – the fan is quiet and the chassis doesn’t become unbearable hot to the touch during heavy CPU loads. Speaking of which, the cooling looks modest but the optional Core i7-1355U can maintain high frequencies even in prolonged periods of 100% stress – great! The spill-resistant keyboard is cozy enough for long hours of work and the touchpad is smooth and accurate. Just don’t forget that the backlight is optional. The I/O features a surprising amount of ports for the price class – four USB ports, an HDMI 2.1, and a LAN. You can also opt for an optional optional Smart Card reader and 4G connectivity. The 14″ 1080p IPS display (BOE NV140FHM-N4U (LEN40A9; BOE08D6)) doesn’t disappoint thanks to its wide viewing angles and lack of PWM usage. It’s not the most color-accurate unit in the world but that’s kind of normal for this price point.

14.00:
14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact.
In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.
