14-inch FHD IPS display

The 14.0-inch screen uses in-plane switching technology at 1920 x 1080 resolution. A 720p webcam sits above the panel for video calls. The non-touch surface reduces glare in bright offices. Narrow bezels keep the chassis compact for travel.

Quad-core performance up to 4.6GHz and 24GB DDR4 handle multitasking and business applications. The 1TB NVMe drive offers fast boot and load times. Buyers who want a dedicated graphics card or a larger screen should look at something else.
