Around the edges, the Carbon X1 features two USB ports (one on either side, and one is USB 3.0), you get a mini DisplayPort, a combination headphone/microphone port, and a physical Wi-Fi switch. The Wi-Fi chip is dual band (Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205, you also get Bluetooth, and there is a built-in mobile broadband module.

I never thought I would see the day where Lenovo would offer a ThinkPad as slim as the X1 Carbon. Traditionally the ThinkPad series of laptops has focused more on usability and being built tough to handle the abuse that a business user needs than being the "slimmest". Somehow Lenovo has managed to take the design features that ThinkPad users love, and magically combined them with an Ultrabook, thus creating the ThinkPad X1 Carbon.

The high-end ultrabook you should buy will depend a lot on your needs, but I think the Carbon is the most niche of the (good) ultrabooks on the market thus far. ThinkPad fans will love this laptop. But if you’ve never understood why people spend a lot on ugly black bricks, go buy a Spectre.

Of course, price is going to be the big sticking point with this laptop, and I suspect most buyers will gravitate toward the lower-end configurations. The $1,400 version is about in line with the $1,200 MacBook Air, and that’s clearly the machine which both Lenovo is targeting and which buyers are going to have to weigh the Carbon against. They are both exemplary computers, but in the end, I still have to give the nod to Apple for now, as the weak battery and frustrating clickpad on the X1 tips the scales in Cupertino’s favor.

I admit it, the moment I saw the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon I had a serious crush. That's not wildly unusual for this technologist, but those first crushes often turn to indifference once I put a machine through its paces. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon doesn't disappoint; it's got performance, build quality and a very good high resolution display befitting its sexy design (imagine, "sexy" and "ThinkPad" in the same sentence!)

Lenovo put some serious thought into mobile usability with the ThinkPad X1 Carbon, including cellular broadband and the RapidCharge feature. The slightly flexible carbon-fiber chassis is an interesting departure from the rigidity of machined metal cases. Though Lnovo's failure to offer dual USB 3.0 ports and HDMI output is a little disappointing, the port selection isn't radically different from what similar superthin Ultrabooks provide. If you're a serious traveler, the X1 Carbon merits closer inspection.

We have to hand it to Lenovo for designing what is darn near close to the perfect Ultrabook, at least in terms of our personal wish list. There are but two shortcomings that stand out beyond the machine's heftier-than-most price tag; and at this price range ($1399 - $1899 MSRP) there should be few compromises.

As far as business-class Ultrabooks the X1 Carbon doesn’t have too much competition. This thing is almost as good as it gets — if an Ultrabook is what you want. If you don’t need the Ultrabook lightweight design for roughly the same price the HP Spectre 14 [see our review] is another solid option. All in all the X1 Carbon is a massive step up over the original, and beats out anything from Lenovo’s past in this size range. Yes the display, battery life, and RAM options could all be better or higher, but in general this machine will be king of the office.

Lenovo's Thinkpad X1 Carbon offers such an extremely thin and light system but doesn't skimp on features that it is going to be the corporate laptop to get. The new carbon fiber chassis is certainly going to stand up the the abuse of anyone who travels frequently. The display is also the largest of the ThinkPad X series and one of the best available on an ultrabook to date. It also has Lenovo's famous keyboards that is accurate and comfortable to use.

The ThinkPad X1 Carbon is an excellent buy for mobile professionals, but the machine is much more expensive than thicker ThinkPads. Those looking for a business Ultrabook should look no further than the X1 Carbon. It is the first business notebook to successfully bridge the gap between full-sized notebook displays and ultraportables.

So, is the Lenovo X1 Carbon the ultimate Ultrabook? Not quite. Its display is merely fair, as is its battery life, and it's far from the cheapest choice out there. Those things are definite marks against, but if you can get past them this is a fundamentally impressive machine. It is properly thin and light and yet has none of the flimsy feeling that some of its competition offers.

We haven't loved every Lenovo portable we've seen (one or two underwhelming tablets come to mind), but at the risk of sounding like suckups, we can't remember the last time the ThinkPad laptop team swung and whiffed—the basic-black business line consistently hits solid doubles, triples, and the occasional home run.

Lenovo, keeper of the venerated ThinkPad brand, was one of the first Windows laptop makers to directly take on Apple's MacBook Air, with its 13-inch ThinkPad X1. This was before Intel had begun publicly branding thin laptops with its trademarked ultrabook tag, and the rules for this new class of thin laptops were still in flux. The business-oriented Lenovo ThinkPad X1 has a few quirks, but is otherwise a very impressive business-oriented ultrabook with strong crossover potential.

With its lightweight, durable design, fantastic display and long battery life, Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Carbon sets a new standard for business ultraportables. A few sacrifices--namely Ethernet and VGA--had to be made in the name of thinness, but we think it's worth the tradeoff. If you want the best business Ultrabook around, the ThinkPad X1 is worth the premium.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon takes almost everything that was great about last year's ThinkPad X1 and combines it with the latest Ultrabook technology to deliver an outstanding business Ultrabook. While most professionals looking for a thin and light laptop will probably be happier with the ThinkPad X230, the X1 Carbon softens those rough ThinkPad edges and provides a more refined, stylish PC for salespeople and executives who don't want a boxy business laptop.

Lenovo’s 2011 vision of the ultimate boardroom ultraportable, the ThinkPad X1, simply didn’t live up to expectations. Now, however, the company has gone back to the drawing board and attempted to right the wrongs of its predecessor. Enter Lenovo’s business Ultrabook: the X1 Carbon. There are minor niggles, but with the usual ThinkPad quality now matched with excellent performance and a modicum of style, the X1 Carbon seizes a deserved place on the A-List.

Unlike many an Ultrabook, there’s no mistaking this one for a MacBook Air, or even an Air wannabe. The X1 Carbon isn’t perfect, and that can make its relatively high price less palatable, but it does offer features you can’t get anywhere else, namely ThinkPad quality and a look that’s cool in that not-even-trying kind of way.

Lenovo is one of the few companies which rarely missteps on their products. Nearly every one of them has been well thought out, painstakingly designed and, most importantly, well executed for its intended market. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon carries on the tradition in every respect but that doesn’t mean it is the perfect Ultrabook.

The ThinkPad brand has been successful for Lenovo, and before them IBM, but it is clear from the X1 Carbon that competing in a modern market takes style and performance in addition to high levels of build quality. After all your brand being certified for use by NASA on both the space shuttle and the International Space Station will only get you so far. (About 220 miles up?)

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is everything the original X1 should have been. Though its TN screen doesn’t quite match up to the premium style, build and features of this stunning Ultrabook, in every other regard it’s easily the best business ultraportable around. Its soft-touch chassis is a pleasure to carry or rest your hands on, and despite being stuffed with features, it retains an incredibly slim and sleek profile for a 14-inch machine. The Carbon’s keyboard quite simply offers the best typing experience of any Ultrabook. And though it packs some serious specs, it’s remarkably quiet even under load.

Lenovo’s first ThinkPad Ultrabook wasn’t up to scratch, but the firm has addressed criticisms and nailed it second time around. The familiar ThinkPad design and build quality mean it’ll stand the rigours of the office, the trackpad and keyboard are superb, and the screen’s better than ever thanks to an improved resolution and matte finish.

The ThinkPad X1 sells in India for a price of Rs 1,02,000, which might seem like a lot to a regular laptop customer. Add the fact that it’s very light and easy to carry around while still delivering a decent amount of performance and battery life. The price starts to make even more sense when you consider that the X1 is more of a rough, daily-use notebook that will give you company for the many years.

With the quality we’ve come to expect from the ThinkPad fold now matched with excellent all-round performance and a modicum of style, the X1 Carbon seizes the business Ultrabook crown and claims its rightful place on the PC Pro A-List.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is a boardroom winner that offers great all-round performance and comfort in a lightweight package. The few niggles with the screen and connections aside, if we chose one Ultrabook to be our business companion, we'd hire the comfortable, high performance and long lasting Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon every time.

Lenovo's X1 Carbon delivers the ThinkPad business laptop in a super-slim ultrabook format, without compromising on performance or ruggedness. Like other ultrabooks, it is limited to an internal battery and cannot be docked to a desktop cradle. Pros: Thin and light, rugged carbon-fibre casing, ThinkVantage technologies. Cons: Integrated battery, no Ethernet port, no dock connector.

Although it’s fairly pricey considering what’s under the hood, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon has a lot going for it. It’s tough, thin, light and, ignoring the twice-used ThinkPad logo that mars an otherwise attractive exterior, is an understated good-looker too. Still, for a casual yet powerful commuter Ultrabook the X1 Carbon has got most things right. It’s attractive without being too showy, its diminutive size makes it the perfect on-the-go companion and, although it's pricey, that carbon fibre exterior should prove rugged and long lasting.

Other features of the X1 Carbon include a webcam and dual integrated microphones (on either side of the webcam), Bluetooth, dual-band Wi-Fi (Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205S), and mobile broadband and GPS (H5321 gw). We had no problems at all using the laptop on the Optus network with our iiNet SIM card. All we had to do was enter the correct APN through the Windows networking interface and we were up and running.

Business on-the-go. Lenovo blows its own horn and even speaks of a "legend" in connection with the ThinkPad X1 Carbon in which 20 years of development have been invested. Regardless of any sympathies, very interesting key specs remain: 1.3 kilograms (2.87 pounds), a bright 14-inch screen, and full business compatibility. Is that enough to become a legend?

Like we’ve already mentioned, ThinkPad X1 Carbon is intended for users who are often on the move. It’s rather sturdy, made out of somewhat better materials and during the production process, the manufacturer paid attention to every detail. An excellent screen without any glare, a keyboard with backlighting, everything is as it should be.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch is an executive's dream laptop. It is made with the same carbon fiber that makes his golf club shafts so light and strong. It's nice to look at and is comfortable to use. It's got the power to do real work, from shredding through large spreadsheets to proofing webpages. However, it falls short of the I/O port count and battery life set by the more economical Dell Latitude 6430U, so that system holds on to the Editors' Choice. But if you have the extra bucks to shell out for the X1 Carbon Touch, you'll find it to be a good companion on your day-to-day business dealings, particularly if you're meeting with another company you're looking to acquire.

Much as Mark Rosewater can't go a month without mentioning how he used to write for "Roseanne," I have a hard time not mentioning my background in video production. The reason to bring it up with the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is simple: whether you're a hobbyist or a professional in any kind of content creation field, you have a pretty good idea of what "prosumer" means.

Lenovo has done a good job of accommodating a touchscreen without sacrificing the best qualities of the X1 Carbon. Ergonomics, screen quality and performance are all more than up to scratch. The glaring question, however, is whether touch is worth paying a premium for on a business laptop. With the standard X1 Carbon delivering better battery life and twice the amount of RAM for over £200 less, we’re not convinced.

Yet another Windows 8 Ultrabook touch screen notebook is the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch. It has a 14-inch display with an attractive design, a backlit keyboard and a responsive touch screen. It does suffer from below average battery life and is light on ports. The design of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch is almost a carbon copy to the previous Windows 7 version that lacked a touch screen. The chassis is made of carbon fiber while the keyboard deck and bottom are magnesium. This provides a very sturdy exterior that will certainly survive some bumps and will look good too.

If you're going to run Windows 8 on one of the best Ultrabooks on the market, it makes sense to opt for a model with a touch screen. Microsoft's latest OS just feels clunky when used with a mouse, as we discovered when we accidentally activated the app-switcher menu multiple times when the cursor hit the top-left corner of the screen.

One of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon's biggest shortcomings is that its built-in battery only lasts five hours on a charge.

Experiment.. The 2013 edition of the X1 Carbon came pretty close to a rating of "very good". Still, Lenovo has not stopped improving its premium ultrabook series, adding a WQHD IPS panel to the 13-inch device while also improving its battery life and implementing new input devices / ports. Is this enough to eradicate the few remaining issues?

While the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch (2014) is still a very well-built business laptop with a light and durable design and performance for all of your work needs, the new model makes some big changes, and they aren't all winners. The new keyboard layout and rotating touch-sensitive function bar may put some users off, and the battery life is disappointingly short. If the slimmer design and better-than-HD display are features you crave, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch (2014) is hard to beat, but for similar performance without the revamped keyboard, and with significantly longer battery life, the Editors' Choice Lenovo ThinkPad X240 is still our top pick for mid-range business ultrabooks.

Super lightweight and extremely thin; the Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon-20A7005JGE is a professional laptop that is sleek and comes with blazing performance. The exterior comes in a black finish with crisps lines and a solid hinge that allows the screen to be opened to 180 degrees. Starting at 1.31 kg, the Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon-20A7005JGE is still built well to withstand everyday travel with its solid chassis. As with any Thinkpad, the iconic keyboard layout with good mouse navigation will be the major pull for business owners. The hardware is customizable as with most business solution. The 20A7005JGE model sports an Intel Core i7 4550U processor, either 4 GB or 8 GB RAM and an Intel HD Graphics 5500 GPU. Storage options range from 128 GB M.2 SSD to 512 M.2 SSD PCIe x4 for blazing read/write speeds. The Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon-20A7005JGE comes with a 14 inch WQHD, anti-glare display with optional touchscreen support.

Other features include an integrated 720p HD webcam, backlit and spill resistant keys, a TrackPoint pointing device, HD audio by Realtek, two USB 3.0 ports, an micro-SIM card tray and mini Displayport. There is a Lenovo OneLink connector port as well, excepting their docking system. Battery life is very good with the integrated Lithium Polymer 8-cell pack.Specifications

There's no denying the portable nature of this thin 'n' light laptop, even if it is undercut in both metrics by a 13.3-inch MacBook Air. The ThinkPad's processor performance is fractionally faster thanks to its 0.1 GHz advantage over the latter, but the overall choice of CPU, operating system and display together compromise the X1 Carbon's battery life to provide less than half that of what's possible. In its favour, the X1 Carbon has better screen image quality and a characterful keyboard that can command a loyal following. Ultimately, the X1 Carbon looks overpriced and more cheaply constructed than the MacBook Air, and moreover loses out against the more affordable MacBook Pro with Retina display.

Luxury for the executive level. Ultrabooks are normally designed for home users – but that's not always the case. Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Carbon, for example, targets affluent business customers who are willing to spend almost 2000 Euro (~$2800) for the top-of-the-line version. If this amount is money well spent is the subject of our review.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 20FB003RGE
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2016 is the 4th generation ultrabook of the X1 Carbon series. It is one of the slimmest and lightest 14 inch laptop around the market at only 1.2 kg and 1.65 cm (0.65 inch) thickness. With up to Intel Core i7-6500U 2.5 GHz processor, Intel HD Graphics 520 graphics adapter, 8 GB DDR3 RAM and a 256 GB Samsung Solid State Disk, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2016 is truly competitive in terms of performance. For display, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2016 offers up to a 14 inch 16:9 2560 x 1440 non-glare IPS panel with LED backlight, which is capable of delivering superb display quality. The battery of the laptop is a integrated 52 Wh lithium-polymer battery. Moreover, the laptop features a 720p fixed focus webcam. Microsoft Windows 10 Professional 64 bit is pre-installed and, so, the laptop is ready to use upon purchasing. Despite being very slim and light, various connectivity options including three USB 3.0 ports, one HDMI port, one DisplayPort, a 3.5 mm headset port, a MicroSD card reader and a fingerprint reader are available. Additional features include stereo speakers, a keyboard with light, a 65 Watt power adapter, the Lenovo ThinkVantage Tools, Lenovo PowerEngage, Lenovo PC Experience and Lenovo Companion.Specifications

Slimmer is not possible. Already the third generation of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon belonged to the slimmest and lightest 14 inch notebooks on the market. In the fourth generation, Lenovo goes one better and reduces the weight to below 1.2 kg. We have checked how this affects temperatures, system noise, and performance.

There’s a number of iterations you can buy in the X1 Carbon range with price ranges from $1679 right up to (you better sit down for this one…) $2749. That’s a lot of money, but you’re getting a lot of laptop including 16GB of RAM, 256GB SSD and a top end i7 processor. What it really boils down to is that if the X1 is sounding like something you might like to check out, you can do so online or go through one of the major retailers to check one out in store.

While it is possible to find many 13” (The X1 is a 14”) laptops that have an Intel Core i7-6500U, it is much harder to find some with any of the qualities above, let alone all three together. The OLED display is simply sublime and worth the extra money if you can afford it. OLED and rapid charging can benefit just about anyone. The extra durability and low-maintenance of the chassis is a cool extra, but unless you work environment is downright hostile, it’s more of a “nice to have” in my book — but still very appreciated. For businesses, durability also implies productivity gains for their IT staff, so it’s money right there.

Comparing it to other premium business laptops on the market, the X1 Carbon has a few notable features that prospective buyers should take into consideration — the keyboard, for example, is fantastic. There are a couple downsides too, though, namely the lack of a touchscreen display and the less than stellar battery life. If neither of those are deal breakers for you, the latest X1 Carbon is worth every penny.

For Lenovo, the fourth time's the charm. The 4th-generation ThinkPad X1 Carbon gets the business ultrabook formula right with a keyboard, screen and battery life that live up to their promise, wrapped up in a durable, 2.6-pound package. If you're looking for longer endurance and don't mind a consumer-focused laptop with a lesser keyboard, consider the Dell XPS 13 and, if you require a ThinkPad with more juice, consider the much-heavier ThinkPad T460 or smaller-screened X260.

Yoga-ized. Lenovo's flagship business Ultrabook - the Thinkpad X1 - gets the Yoga-treatment and joins the company's every-growing stable of 2-in-1 convertibles. How the new offspring with its active stylus compares is the subject of our review.

It’s something I’ve found with most Windows laptops recently. The ideas are almost always there, but it’s never a fully polished and perfect experience. As we approach the end of October, Apple is expected to debut a new MacBook Pro and Lenovo’s X1 Yoga will compete directly with it. That means that anything less than perfect, especially at a starting price of $1,869, won’t be enough if Apple shakes up the world once again with a new look for its laptop. We’ll have to see what Apple has planned, but for now, Lenovo has given us a look at the future of laptop displays, but not the whole laptop of the future package.

Pricing of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga lineup kicks off at $1,394 for an entry-level variant with Core i5 CPU and 128GB of onboard memory. Configuring a top-tier version gets expensive, and quickly — a variant with OLED display, Core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage for example costs more than $2,300. That's a substantial amount, though still less than a Microsoft Surface Book with comparable hardware ($2,699).

The X1 Yoga does a great job branching out from the X1 Carbon, which is itself an Ultrabook with positive characteristics. But the Yoga further builds on the Carbon by morphing that basic design into a thin and light two-in-one notebook using the Yoga hinge. For those looking for a notebook first, with some extra capabilities of being a touch device or tablet, the Yoga style devices from our experience win hands down over detachable convertibles.

The $2,289.60 price of our Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga OLED review unit is pretty expensive but, at the time of this writing, you can purchase the entry-level X1 Yoga with a FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS-Touch display directly from Lenovo’s website for $1,394.10 with instant savings. The same entry-level configuration with WQHD (2560 x 1440) OLED Touch screen costs $1,682.10 with instant savings. That means you’re paying close to a $300 premium for both OLED screen technology and WQHD resolution. If we planned to purchase the X1 Yoga and had the budget to spend an extra $300 then we would happily do so for OLED, but we recognize not everyone will be in that position … and some people would rather have the anti-glare IPS display rather than a glossy OLED.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga with an OLED display offers the same top-notch design, functionality, and performance as the original Editors' Choice X1 Yoga. The internal components also received an upgrade, so it's definitely more expensive, but the picture quality boost is clear. That said, as good as the OLED screen is, it's a premium that may not be worth it to many users, so the excellent ThinkPad X1 Yoga remains our top pick for business convertible-hybrid laptops. If you have specific interest in or need for an OLED screen, though, the display on this laptop is sharp, vibrant, and comes with our recommendation.

Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Yoga is more than the sum of its parts. It may not be at the top of the heap if you look at the performance, battery life or display numbers by themselves, but in practice, I found it did everything I needed to do and did it well -- and was, in fact, a joy to use.

The X1 Yoga belongs on anyone's list for the latest and greatest. Sure, we'd have liked to see the inclusion of USB 3.1 or Thunderbolt 3, but the combination of the X1 Yoga’s OLED display and NVMe SSD (plus excellent keyboard, clickpad, and eraserhead) make this laptop one of the best. We can’t stress enough that you shouldn’t judge this machine by its photographs. You’re viewing them through an LCD screen—go out and see that screen yourself.

It'll likely be a while before OLED becomes the norm on laptops, but the Thinkpad X1 Yoga is a fine example of why we'd want it in all of our devices. Yes, even in a laptop that looks like it belongs in a boring corporate cubicle. That could also be appealing to some buyers: it looks like a dull Thinkpad on the surface, but it'll blow your mind when you actually turn it on.

Honestly, I found the ThinkPad X1 Yoga to be a refreshing Windows-based notebook experience. If anything, the notebook itself gives Windows 10 a good reputation. The two worked together seamlessly to provide an easy to use, yet fully equipped experience. Where Windows 10 did not have an easy to use solution, Lenovo offered support through their super simple configuration application. I have to be honest; I am not a tablet guy. I actually gave away my last tablet, but I found myself using the tablet mode just because it was there and I required a more compact device. At first, the idea of a 2 in 1 seems like a gimmick, but there are situations where the design is warranted, and Lenovo has done an excellent job with the form factor.

Apart from the cost, the ThinkPad X1 Yoga is pretty much perfect to my mind; the screen is large enough to use all day without once wishing for an external monitor, everything from the keyboard to the stylus is faultless, and the performance is good enough to please all but the most demanding users. Factor in the flexibility on offer and it’s nigh-on unbeatable. Beg your IT department for one now.

Evolution, not revolution. The first generation of Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Tablet was decent, but it had its fair share of flaws. A year later, the latest version has seen little more than a chipset refresh with a few component updates. Is that enough to remain competitive?

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.
In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.
In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
2640M: Very fast dual-core processor based on the Sandy Bridge architecture with an integrated graphics card and dual-channel DDR3 memory controller.

12.00:
This range of display format is largely the upper limit for tablets and the lower limit for subnotebooks.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small in size and therefore easily portable. The tiny display has the added advantage of requiring little power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is exhausting for the eyes. High resolutions, which one is used to from a standard laptop, are almost not usable.
The same applies to tablets in this size range.
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.
