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.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
