Why 14 inch is the standard.
The dimensions, why this size is so common and when you would want bigger or smaller.
The screen measures 35.6 centimetres diagonally. The laptop around it is about 32 centimetres wide and 22 deep. That is a few centimetres more than a 13 inch and still a size that fits any laptop bag.
Because screen bezels have grown slimmer in recent years, a new 14 inch often sits in the chassis that used to hold a 13 inch. So measure on width and depth rather than inches.
Because companies buy it in bulk. It is big enough for a full working day of documents and spreadsheets, and light enough to take to a meeting or home. Manufacturers therefore build their workhorses at this size: the ThinkPad T series, the EliteBook 800 series, the Latitude 5000 series.
For refurbished machines that has a very practical consequence: this size comes free from lease cycles the most, so the choice here is widest and the price keenest.
The business workhorses, across several generations and grades. This is the size with the widest choice with us, so the chance of finding exactly the combination of processor, memory and grade you are after is highest here.
Filter alongside on processor, memory and screen size. For comfortable working, 16 GB of memory is the nicest choice.
Questions? Answers.
A 14 inch laptop offers the optimal balance between screen size and portability. The screen is big enough to work comfortably with several windows, while the machine stays compact and light enough to carry every day.
Yes, the 14 inch format is the most popular size in the business laptop market. It offers enough screen space to work productively, is light enough for travel and generally offers good battery life for a full working day.
Most business 14 inch laptops weigh between 1.2 and 1.6 kilograms. That is comfortable enough for daily use in a bag, including for people who are out and about a lot.
Absolutely. On a desk at home a 14 inch screen offers enough working space for everyday tasks. Combined with an external monitor you have even more room for demanding work.
Yes. The 14 inch format fits in virtually all standard laptop bags and backpacks. Many bags are designed specifically for this size, which is regarded as the standard in business.
Speed depends on the processor and the memory, not on the size. A business 14 inch laptop with a recent processor and 16 GB of RAM performs excellently at intensive multitasking.
Yes, the 14 inch format is popular with students as well. It offers more screen space than a 13 inch model and is still compact enough to carry every day.
Certainly. Business 14 inch laptops are proven hardware, designed for several years of intensive use. As a refurbished machine they offer excellent quality at a considerably lower price.
The screen measures 35.6 centimetres diagonally. The laptop itself is about 32 centimetres wide, 22 deep and 1.8 thick. With a bag, check the width and the depth rather than the inches, because those differ per model.
Usually between 1.2 and 1.6 kilos. Within that range the variation comes from the chassis and the battery: a model with a magnesium frame is lighter than one with a plastic base, and a larger battery weighs more but lasts longer.
Because it is the best trade between seeing and carrying. Big enough for a working day of documents and spreadsheets, light enough to take along. Companies therefore buy it in large numbers, and that is exactly what makes it the best available size on the refurbished market.
Usually not, the width is just a little too narrow. You use the number row above the keyboard. If you enter a lot of figures, 15 inch is the size with a separate number pad, or you connect one over USB.
Yes, in virtually any backpack with a laptop compartment. Most compartments are made for 15.6 inch, so a 14 inch goes in with room to spare. If the compartment is tight, check the width of 32 centimetres rather than the number of inches.
For documents, mail and video calls, amply. If you work on it for hours every day, the nicest combination is a 14 inch with an external screen on your desk through a docking station. That way you have light on the road and room at home, and it works better than a larger laptop.
